एमपी इलेक्शन: सर्वे की कोख से निकली लिस्ट

Image
  Kamal Nath is going out of way to prove he is not anti-Hindu MP Assembly Election Update: 14 October 2023 NK SINGH कमलनाथ के प्लान के मुताबिक काँग्रेस की लिस्ट इस दफा सर्वे-नाथ ने बनाई है। प्रदेश के नेताओं में आम तौर पर सहमति थी कि लिस्ट इस बार सर्वे के आधार पर बनेगी। पर क्या यह महज संयोग है कि यह लिस्ट राहुल गांधी के गेम-प्लान के मुताबिक भी है? वे अपनी पार्टी के क्षत्रपों के कार्टेल को ध्वस्त करना चाहते हैं, जो 10-15 एमएलए के बूते पर प्रदेश की पॉलिटिक्स चलाते हैं। सर्वे की कोख से निकली लिस्ट कमोबेश जीत की संभावना के आधार पर बनी है। एनपी प्रजापति जैसे अपवादों को छोड़कर कोई सप्राइज़ नहीं। बीजेपी की लिस्ट देखते हुए, काँग्रेस इस बार फूँक-फूक कर कदम रख रही थी। भाजपा उम्मीदवारों की पांचों लिस्ट 2018 के मुकाबले काफी बेहतर थी। नाम दिल्ली ने तय किए, प्रदेश के किसी भी नेता के प्रभाव से परे। चयन का आधार गुटबाजी नहीं, जीत की संभावना रही। इसलिए, दोनों तरफ के उम्मीदवारों का लाइन-अप देखकर लगता है, मुकाबला कांटे है। टिकट न मिलने से निराश नेताओं की बगावत का दौर शुरू हो गया है। यह हर चुनाव में होता...

Subramanian Swamy's Shadow Over Delhi IIT

Image
  IIT Delhi NK SINGH Time virtually is running out for Delhi's prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, where with every passing day the academic and administrative atmosphere is slipping from bad to worse. There has been widespread trouble on the campus - one of the families of five which cater to the special technological needs of the country during the past three months. The Institute, which is supposed to be among the best in Asia, has been vitiated by demonstrations, gheraos, strikes and intimidation of individuals. At present it looks like a mini-battleground with two jeeploads of policemen stationed inside the campus and two truckloads of Central Reserve Police force posted at the outer gates. All this because the IIT Employees Union has chosen to march on the warpath in support of its two main demands: implementation of the departmental promotion rules and reinstatement of a professor of economics who was sacked on December last by the authorities because of alleged part...

Guru Golwalkar's Views on Uniform Civil Code

Image
NK SINGH Inaugurating the Deendayal Research Institute in New Delhi on August 20 last, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief, Guru Golwalkar, said that a Uniform Civil Code had nothing to do with national integration or nationalism. Sniffing a deep philosophical question involved, the Motherland and Organiser rushed the next day to interview their Guru. Reiterating his view, Golwalkar said he had no quarrel with any community or sect for wanting to have its separate identity. Propounding his thesis of the "flatterers and flatteners" basically being the same, both treating the Muslim community as a thing apart, he said the flatterers wanted the Muslims' vote, "the flatteners wanted to extinguish the separate identity of the Muslim community. The Muslim is welcome to his way of life as long as he loves his country and its culture." By way of an obiter dictum , he added that uniformity is the death knell of nations, nature abhors uniformity and all the various wa...

Shimla agreement and Jana Sangh

  Shimla agreement                                                                         NK SINGH   There are very few important moments in the history of a country such as that of the Simla Agreement. Naturally, the event and its aftermath were given wide coverage in the Indian Press. Almost all the newspapers praised it as a step in the direction of escalating the Indo- Pak cordial relations and of course towards a permanent peace on the sub-continent.  The lone voice of dissent was that of the Jana Sangh-oriented journals like Organiser and the Motherland. And scrutiny would bring out the fact that these two journals gave more space to the subject than any other newspaper in the country. The motive as well as the work- method of the communal Press becomes clear from one single story which c...
