Brand India. What's the future ?

Reposting something that I had put up on my old blog two years back. I guess not much has changed in those past two years.



What type of a Nation can we be, if our 'Heads' have no brains ???

Cases in Point :

* Congress workers turn philanthropists on Rahul's birthday

* Rahul Mahajan's Druggery

* Sonia Gandhi's Office of profit Drama

* Uma Bharathi's tantrums

* Deve Gowda's back-door coup in Karnataka

* Abhishek Singhvi's dick-headed press notes

* The recent drama in the Indian Army w.r.t women cadets

* Shiv Sena's Taandav in Mumbai

* The No-Commital stand of all parties on Reservations

* Arjun Singh's boot to equality

* Congress and Left party shenanigans on petro price hike

* Advani's Yatras to nowhere

* Manmohan Singh defending every move of Govt to please Madam

* TV mela in TN

* Left, which does nothing right

* Narendra Modi's monarchy in Gujarat

* Chidambaram and his nakhras with the share bazaar

* HD Kumaraswamy and his land grabbing on the Bangalore-Mysore route

* Taran Gogoi and his Assam Bluff Rifles

* Amar Singh and his interviews

* Y S Rajashekar Reddy and his undoing of Naiduwork

* Sonia Gandhi and her only Ambassador

* The Mullahs of India and their secularism

* Laloo-Rabri jugalbandi

* Buddha's penance

* Vasundhara and her majestic strides

* Amma and her gazillion chappals

* Sri Sri Ravishankar's megabuck penance

* Kanchi Seer and his troubled Millions

* Maneka Gandhi and her unheard voice

* M F Hussain and his treasured trash

* Achuthanandan who ?

* Rajdeep Sardesai and his splattering idiotisms

* Indian Metrological Dept and Bejan Darruwalla

* Dalmiya's hand-wrestling

* Sharad Pawar's arm-twisting

* Chautala and his Chornagri

* Horrifying Hurriyat

* Greg Chappel and his expreiments

* Sheila Dixit and her sweet talk

* K P S Gill and his gilli-danda

* The Great Indian Reliance Challenge of the Ambanis

* D

* Narayan Murthy and his high-voltage nakhras

* Dr Venugopal and his 'AIMS'

* Rahul Dravid's inconsistent men

* Mulayam Singh's easing in the UP Chair

* Shah Rukh Khan's crankiness

* Ekta Kapoor and her swanky melodramas

* Navjot Sindhu and his impromptu tongue-of-war Sidhuisms

* A B Vajpayee and his pauses

* AB and Jaya's tax bills

* Sania Mirza and the First Round Exit Door

* Renuka Chaudhary and her travels

* Salman Khan and his 'bucks'

* Medha Patkar's patka

* Ramadoss the Boss

With all these great cases as examples, should we expect a better future for Indians?

Note: This is just a list of the leaders India has, whom ideally we should have looked up to as role models.


We need to get rid of many such people. Only then can we say Happy Independence Day !!

@ HOBO

Not really.. in fact we dont do that :(

Vrijilesh Rai said...

@ Sachi

I'm not sure if the said spirit exists in everyone. I'm assuming it does only in the RDB type of folks. 999 out of 1000 care a damn.. :(

Vrijilesh Rai said...

@ Veens

All I can say is Amen! to dream..

Makes me wonder, will India ever be free from all of the things tht u hav mentioned here. :( I fear not!

Sach1 said...

We have a huge population..remember?So even the 0.1% could make a difference. As they say, better than nothing. :)

Keshi said...

OMG AMEN TO THIS POST VRIJ!

**so that THEY can feel better

SunRays said...

If we were to derive our identity from the politicians then all of us belong to the nation of scoundrels... But thankfully most of us dont..cause we aspire and identify with an Ambani or Narayanmurthy...not Modi or a Laloo. Cheer up ... its not all that bleak.. yet!

Chalo Cheers and take care!

I felt it was a lil too pessimistic, I guess there are a lot of things about India and Indians to feel proud about as well, just try writing a post on that, I am sure the list will be longer!
