11/9 For You! Absolutely Historical! Both For India And The World! And I Am Indeed Happy!

I had decided to delay this month’s editorial for The Sunday Indian till 11/9 (writing 9th of November the American way) because i wanted to write the edit on the next American President. But as the jokes go, Modi decided to upstage the American excitement, at least in India!
But before coming to Modi, let me finish writing on why Trump as POTUS makes me reasonably happy! I followed the elections in the US with maximum enthusiasm till Bernie lost. Have written earlier too that I wanted Bernie to get the Democratic nomination like no one else ever, including Obama! And had it been Bernie, today most likely, Democrats would have been the guys celebrating!
Post Hillary getting the nomination, all excitement died. Yes, I would have loved to see a woman finally breaking the Presidential glass ceiling! But did that mean supporting Hillary? When Susan Sarandon was asked why wouldn’t she support Hillary when the man she supported – Bernie – wanted support for Hillary, she said, “I don’t vote with my vagina”. That’s the crux, you vote with your brains.
And I am glad Americans used their below average brains to vote. So the result? First the sad one… Bernie lost and Americans proved that as a nation, they were still intellectually dwarfed. Next, the better one. Trump won. And Americans proved that though they are less educated as a nation on the whole, they are not complete idiots yet. So why am I happy at Trump’s victory?
Well, I quite disliked that (as Trump loves to call her) crooked woman for certain. Trump has been a case study of business success in B-schools all over the world and is quite transparent. You get what you see. An arrogant, boisterous billionaire with scant respect for anyone… and absolutely practical. To me, Trump represents in every which way the majority of Americans. From the Great American Dream of unlimited wealth in their eyes to their multiple partners, marriages and divorces to being absolutely coarse and racist illiterates… He is America! Rarely has anyone ever represented today’s America more, at least in the Oval office.
As I told a friend of mine as she stood in a queue to vote, I wouldn’t vote at all if I were in her place; but if I had to, I would vote for Hillary and hope that she loses… That way, I wouldn’t live for four years with the guilt of electing an unscrupulous lady of totally suspect ethics and values nor live with the guilt of voting for an openly racist misogynist.
Hillary has forever used her and her husband’s name and their joint official posts to join hands with the worst corporations and fascist rulers around the world for personal gains directly or indirectly through the Clinton Foundation. Also, I believe it’s better for women to have Melania out there inside the White House than Hillary… I almost mean for women as well… It’s better to have a woman who posed nude for magazines, and did so proudly… than to have a woman who for all claims of feminism couldn’t take a stance on her husband when he cheated – even if it was to tell the world boldly that so what if he got a blow job, I am absolutely happy to be with this intelligent man with so many other exceptional qualities. She didn’t. Neither did she divorce him. For feminists like Susan Sarandon, no wonder then Hillary was a strict no........

  86% Indians fear losing their jobs due to the Pandemic as per a recent online survey. The fear has completely stopped economic activities and spending. We must remove the fear and start the economy. For that we need to guarantee everyone that jobs or no job, they will be economically secure through a minimum unemployment allowance (double of which should be the minimum wages). It requires a simple four step process: 1. Create an online database of job seekers based on their Adhaar Card number. 2. Make it totally illegal to employ anyone for any kind of job without registering his/her Aadhaar Card number. 3. The moment Adhaar Card number is fed in the list of employed, it gets automatically removed from the job seekers register and they stop getting unemployment allowance. 4. Everyone getting unemployment allowance will have to necessarily do 4 hours of social and community service as directed by the registry. Employers will also know who is seeking jobs where and their qualificat...

D ear Arvind Kejriwal, As my relatives, acquaintances and students die avoidable deaths; I am completely mad on the current regime at the centre. But for every death - in reality a MURDER - in Delhi, you have equal blood on your hands. You were sitting and spending 150cr advertising yourself just between Jan to March this year while the cases increased. You did nothing for the last one year when Delhi needed at least 20,000 extra ICU beds if not more. And each bed obviously means extra oxygen facility. You have no shame to say that PM CARES fund didn’t come. Didn’t you have calculations? You are from IIT. Didn’t you know that making a few oxygen plants cost nothing compared to your state budget and so called landmark health budget? And you are FOOLING EVEN TODAY by saying lies like tomorrow even if there are 30k cases per day Delhi is now going to be equipped. You are a congenital liar. In case your IIT brain can’t calculate properly, let me help you. For every reported case in Delhi, ...

No PM after being elected should ever again be allowed to abdicate his responsibilities and go missing during every crisis. To strengthen democracy in INDIA, the entire MEDIA should come together and demand a LAW which makes it mandatory forever for any PM of INDIA to interact with the media once every fortnight at least for 60 min, & take a minimum of 15 questions from different journalists - 5 each from leading print media, electronic media & online media - with top 20 media houses from each field getting minimum of one chance by rotation to ask questions every two months. This will permanently end the godi media fraud. We can never ever again let a leader of India be unanswerable to it’s people - who are represented by the media - or develop a cosy relationship with a few media houses and keep the people of the INDIA in dark. Arindam Chaudhuri Arindam Chaudhuri Those who say I unnecessarily criticise Modi should know as recently as Aug 2020 I had written praised New Educati...
