#ResignModi vs TINA factor: This activist insists, he can indeed be an alternative!

Chandra Vikash* answers the question: After Modi who?
***
With the election results in five states on May 2, and more than a hundred million Indians who have petitioned online with hashtag #ResignModi together with the resound drubbing by the global media projecting him as a narcissist and a disaster, it is a bygone conclusion that Modi should resign or will be forced out by the people very soon. In such an event, do we have a replacement for him in place?
After Modi who?
I don’t see anyone from the existing power circle – as coming forward or finding support with people given the widespread anger and resentment. It will therefore have to be a dark horse who can rise up to the challenge to bring together India’s diversity and differences, conflicts and contradictions and transform them into new synergies and opportunities to rise up and to save the country from sinking further into despair and disillusionment.
In such a scenario, fully aware of our deep and complex challenges at this critical juncture of a dire health and economic emergency, and confident of my knowledge and capabilities to respond to these challenges, I am putting up my self-nomination for the position of Prime Minister and call upon all of you for your support and contributions to my campaign.
I must also reiterate that I would always welcome a better candidate that any of you might suggest or even self-nominate. I shall be happy to give my full support and carry out whatever responsibility assigned to me. In support of my candidature, I would like to share this design of LACE-GAIA Model which will lay the foundation for India to re-establish itself as Sone ki Chidiya and earn respect as Vishvaguru Bharat in the new world order as the dust settles on which direction the Great Reset should take.
From a zero political figure, I hope to emerge as the frontrunner to replace outgoing PM Modi within next 72 hours with your love support and good wishes. Here is why and how for a quick read. Your comments queries and suggestions are always welcome for more.

Why 

What makes me so confident and sure of winning is my simple belief that India needs a uniting figure who can transform our delicate diversity and deep divisions into a beautiful collage called Synergy and Emergence. I am aware of our strengths and opportunities as well as constraints and limitations as one of my favorite quote goes – “No artist paints on an infinite canvas. Constraints fuel creativity.”
I believe that with my harmonious approach and powerful belief that to win truly is when no one really loses out is the need of the hour. That is the power of creativity that I hope to paint on the canvas of synergy and emergence.

How!

All I need from you is to copy and share this post with your own cover note with the hashtag #SynergyAndEmergence on all social media platforms.
Will this work?It all depends on you. Yes, this is bold and ambitious but like my other favorite quote goes: "Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.” Making sense of the posts and responses since the election results in various states, here is a thinking aloud on a way forward:
Dissolve Congress party: Organise the cadre and resources into Lok Seva Sangh abiding by Gandhi’s wishes which have been long overdue.
Isolate Modi-Shah within BJP: Reinvigorate the spirit of pluralistic BJP of Atal era with its credo of Nation First, diluting their venomous hate-filled corrupt and divisive agenda and re-infuse harmony and Bharatiyata into the cadres preparing the ground for their removal and trial for their criminal misconduct.
Bring in all the regional parties within the greater NDA fold: Making it virtually Partyless and truly Federal with greater power for the states moving right up to Gram Panchayat and Nagarpalika.Welcome your feedback ideas and suggestions on what better options might be available.
PS: Indecisiveness or procrastination till 2024 must simply be ruled out.

Swami Vivekananda's views on caste and sexuality were 'painfully' regressive

By Bhaskar Sur* Swami Vivekananda now belongs more to the modern Hindu mythology than reality.

A Hindu alternative to Valentine's Day? 'Shiv-Parvati was first love marriage in Universe'

By Rajiv Shah  The other day, I was searching on Google a quote on Maha Shivratri which I wanted to send to someone, a confirmed Shiv Bhakt, quite close to me -- with an underlying message to act positively instead of being negative.

Will Bangladesh go Egypt way, where military ruler is in power for a decade?

By Vijay Prashad*  The day after former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left Dhaka, I was on the phone with a friend who had spent some time on the streets that day. He told me about the atmosphere in Dhaka, how people with little previous political experience had joined in the large protests alongside the students—who seemed to be leading the agitation. I asked him about the political infrastructure of the students and about their political orientation. He said that the protests seemed well-organized and that the students had escalated their demands from an end to certain quotas for government jobs to an end to the government of Sheikh Hasina. Even hours before she left the country, it did not seem that this would be the outcome.

By Harsh Thakor*  N. Venugopal has been one of the most vocal critics of the neo-fascist forces of Hindutva and Brahmanism, as well as the encroachment of globalization and liberalization over the last few decades.

Authorities' shrewd caveat? NREGA payment 'subject to funds availability': Barmer women protest

By Bharat Dogra*  India is among very few developing countries to have a rural employment guarantee scheme. Apart from providing employment during the lean farm work season, this scheme can make a big contribution to important needs like water and soil conservation. Workers can get employment within or very near to their village on the kind of work which improves the sustainable development prospects of their village.

A significant event that has revitalized fundamental right of freedom of expression for journalists

By Vikas Meshram*  The recent remark made by the Supreme Court -- that cases can’t be lodged against journalists for criticising Government -- is a significant event that has revitalized the fundamental rights of freedom of expression for journalists. The core of journalism in a democracy is to examine the policies, plans, and governance of the government and present the truth to the public. For this purpose, it is necessary for journalists to have the right to criticize fearlessly.
