Before I start, I want to make it clear that this article is going to be highly influenced by Narendra Modi and the new face of India - The Guardian but is strictly not about Narendra Modi or discussing Indian politics. Enough has been read, written and published about the present scenario of Indian politics. What I worry about is the politicisation of Hinduism .Fine ! As a AAM AADMI ( in aam terms, not in political terms) I am told to digest the fact that it is Politics .The whole hue and cry about Hindu, Hindutva and RSS is politics (that is what a non-political, Indian citizen would conclude by the present trend ) because for a Hindu;Hinduism is never about killing masses and violence. The idea of Pankaj Mishra of referring Narendra Modi as a Hindu nationalist With the rise of Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi reminds me of the American presidential elections 2008. Obama Elect...
There were several reasons to watch PK. The most obvious was it being a Amir Khan's movie and the other was the hue and cry over it. Though the controversy around it never affected me but I must say that I was trying to steal time to watch it. When the news were doing the rounds I was enjoying the Kavitas , chutkule and the funny cartoons trending on fb, whatsapp and twitter. Some poems were really good. Some jokes were outstanding and last but not the least , News channels did a great job in the panel discussions, in inviting people from different fields to discuss Hinduism and how the film was doing well. The debate on whether this film should be made tax free or not and I was really amazed when Akhilesh Yadav made it Tax free actually.

बात सिर्फ कन्हैया जी की नहीं है अभी , बात उन मुददों की है जो काफी वक़्त से जेहन में हैं , किसके जेहन में हैं इसका जवाब देना मुश्किल है , मुश्किल नहीं पर हाँ शब्द कौन सा उपयोग करूँ ये मुश्किल है। एक शब्द है अंगेज़ी का पॉलिटिकली करेक्ट होना । फैशन के दौर में पॉलिटीकली करेक्ट होना फैशन भी है , बुद्धिमान और बुद्धिजीवी होने का प्रतीक भी और आज के दौर की राजनीति की जरुरत भी मगर मेरा इरादा यहाँ पॉलिटिकली करेक्ट होने का बिलकुल भी नहीं है तो मैं बगैर किसी दिक्कत के लिख सकती हूँ की बात उन मुद्दों की है जो काफी वक़्त से जेहन में है , हिन्दुओं के जेहन में हैं।कन्हैया जी और उन जैसे बहुतों को दिक्कत है , दिक्कत इस बात से है की अफज़ल गुरु को फांसी हो गयी। भारत जहाँ हज़ारों मुददे हैं सरकार के खिलाफ मोर्चा खोलने को , किसी भी सरकार के खिलाफ , वो मोदी हों या मनमोहन। मुददों की कमी नहीं है छात्रों के पास। कुछ नहीं तो सीट्स ही बढ़वा लेते पीएचडी में दाखिले के लिए। थोड़ी स्कालरशिप भी बढ़ जाती तो अच्छा ही रहता। होस्टल्स में सीट्स बढ़वा लेते , कुछ भी ऐसा करते की लगता की छात्र नेत...
