The determination to " do something" for the Desh- Dr Navtej Serna's take on Narendra Modi

With his mother (Pic courtesy- PM's Official FB Page) 

"It is precisely because of this Kleptocracy ( Govt for, of and by the Corrupt), that a simple 'Chaiwallah', from a very ordinary background ....whose father was a tea vendor in a small village and who himself was a tea vendor at a railway station, now finds himself in the avatar of the most powerful man in the third largest economy on the planet. 

No Oxford/ Cambridge education , no elite /Public School education, no aristocracy in his blood , no magnificent pedigree/ lineage, no grasp of the so called elitist culture and mannerisms, no real understanding of International Relations etc etc, no real command over the English language either yet  with a sound , almost rustic and agrarian , down to earth simplicity , frankness, clarity and even brutality, an RSS preacher and activist from the age of 9 yrs,a non consummated childhood marriage at the age of 17, no real clique of sycophants or courtiers yet full of the deepest of determination  "to do something for the Desh"as his fundamental goal and ambition in life, has managed to romp home to victory on a 'Modi' wave that has guaranteed success to at least a hundred BJP  candidates solely by the sheer mesmeric spell that he has managed to cast on this very India , which is neither a Democracy,  nor an aristocracy ,nor a theocracy.  etc , etc , etc..

Just shows the world and mainly India, that despite a tainted reputation,   a record of good/ very good governance in only one state,  despite being a hugely divisive and polarizing  figure , even in his own party, ULTIMATELY what the 'aam aadmi' looks for is leadership material, strength of character, good communication skills, focus, determination and of course in this 2ist century of technology,  good presentation , marketing and packaging( all of which were found in the persona of Narendra Bhai Modi).

Now,  of course people are expecting miracles, just as they did of President  Obama, people are expecting India to top China and maybe even the US, in the next 5 years ! Of course, none of this is going to happen. But what  I can  confidently predict is , that the Hindu Muslim Civil war, that the Congress etc were so alarmingly predicting , wont happen. Minorities won't suddenly become the flavour of the month either, but they'll be left alone and may even prosper.Pakistan will be handled a little tougher and some breakthrough on Kashmir may even come about.China too will be kept on a slightly tighter leash.The economy is bound to improve , but there won't be any miracles.

All these things will come about not because a great genius of a man, with a great understanding of International Forces etc is now at the helm. They'll happen because a simple, rustic , clear headed , determined, ruthlessly efficient man is now at the helm and with such a huge mandate, that all the bickering, dillydallying, infighting , stalling of Parliament etc

( what's been happening in the last 5 yrs) will suddenly and swiftly be gotten rid of and forgotten about..

In fact, these guys could be around for quite some time to come. A second term is definitely on the cards and with the kind of ruthlessness that Mr Modi possesses, the Congress, the AAP etc, could virtually be wiped off the radar.....

Let's just hope he keeps his head on his shoulders and doesn't get drowned by his own 'wave'. "
