Convenience and Ideology in Politics

Political parties in India and in general across countries are formed either on certain ideology or with some social-economic agenda or based on certain goal or for some specific purpose or on religious-caste lines. The inception of these parties are mostly on right memorandums and their founders always want to stick with it. Since India is a big country and hugely populated, these political parties want emerging and existing people from political fraternity to join them, take it forward along, but the representations within political parties on a broader level dilutes the essence and its ideology, agenda, goal and purpose. Its the magnetism of power, money and position which overshadows everything and convenience takes over their core political agenda and its evident that even two extreme ideology join each other. There are no surprises when it comes to acquisitive exchange of power and position, even who fought elections against each other, join hands. There are also evident cases where a party fighting election against the one in which a member of that party was an incumbent minister.

The social fabric of India is mainly based on religion, language and caste also there is now a new distinction in society on economic level where these parties carry no ideologies, rather they exploit the social-economic fabric at micro and broad levels to grab power and position.

There are seven national parties and about 50 odd regional/state parties in India. The history has got its evidence that the party at locus tends to attract members of non-ideological parties converge to find their suitable point of match with political justifications. The convenience overcomes ideology.

There is no harm in politicians wanting to be near post and positions, ultimately the essence of the profession itself is to service the citizens which can only be done by being in business and while doing so they first have to leave the high grounds of ideology. I personally have not witnessed any political party working on its main ideology ever since I started following politics.

Badminton in India – A New Chapter

Facebooktwittergoogle_plus

World Badminton Championship 2017 has started a new chapter in Indian badminton as this is the first time that two iconic players from India has shared top three positions. A proud moment for us to have P.V. Sindhu and Saina Nehwal as inspirational figures for new upcoming players.

There’s no denial of the fact that cricket still is most watched and played sport in India. But ever since players like Nehwal and Sindhu in guidance of Pullela Gopichand started winning major tournaments, it took giant steps in bringing more youngsters into the courts with racquets.

Badminton first gained popularity in the country in the late 70s and 80s which was the time when players like Prakash Padukone and Syed Modi came into the limelight. Prakash Padukone became the first Indian to win the All England Championships. The duo also won medals in other international events like the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games.

Then after there was a gap and badminton as a game lost it grounds of popularity, there were players reaching up to some level of recognition but no one could retain and maintain their positions in international level.

The major turnaround in Indian badminton came when All England Champion Pullela Gopichand started his academy in Hyderabad and Saina Nehwal became the first iconic player to maintain the position for almost a decade. She is like Sachin Tendulkar of badminton who remained an inspiration to young players. The legacy of Saina Nehwal is now been carried further by P.V. Sindhu and India is now at the doors of International league to challenge East Asian dominance in this game.
