Biden-Harris a Welcome Change for USA?

Many (or at least it appears so), Americans are on top of the world. They are boisterously exhibiting a sigh of relief, a reassurance akin to victory of ‘good over evil'! No doubt, Harris' niece Meena had once publicly portrayed her (Kamala Harris) as goddess Durga, a goddess owing allegiance to Hinduism. Meena had also depicted Donald Trump as a demon. Aha, so the enmity and furore had reached that level! Probably the several Indian-origin Americans didn't mind all that, or were ready to forgive and forget the divinity case — It was all about going all guns blazing against Donald Trump, come what may!

So, is this the change that the doctor ordered? Is this change God-sent? I don't know. Probably the Americans know better, or they think they know better! Biden, 77, strategically didn't stake his candidacy on any distinctive political ideology. Then what made him click? He simply galvanized a broad coalition of voters around the notion that Trump actually posed a threat to American democracy. The ‘jump the bandwagon’ strategy proved effective, resulting in crucial victories in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, onetime Democratic strongholds that had turned to Trump in 2016.

What will the ‘holier than though’ skipper and mate now do? Oh, they have a lot of things to undo. They have many people to please, scores have to be settled, policies have to be changed, Trump needs to be taught lessons, illegal immigrants and hopeless (or hope-less) citizens need to be appeased…phew, that’s too little, though more than enough to spend one term and prepare a platform for another term, another Democratic term! Weed growers were already ecstatic — probably with the provisions previously signalled by the Indian descendent Harris — about whom many Indians and American Indians are gaga about; perhaps many of them don’t know head or tail about Kamala, nor may she be knowing what actually hurts India and Indians. Anyway, does it matter to her? No, a resounding no!

Biden-Harris have taken up the mantle for reforming America, for making America great again, and for healing her. And Hillary? She may be on top of the hill, or Little Rock, possibly coming to terms from the 2016 shock.

Why couldn’t Trump win again? Was it because he’s outspoken? Because he is not a diplomat? Or simply as his many detractors firmly believe that he was a failure right from the start and hit the American hearts like a pointed dart? While the Americans seem to have hit the bull’s eye (by ousting Trump), it’s time to wish this new duo all the best, who have or may put to rest: ‘In God we trust’.

Malavika Sangghvi does an Arundhati!

As if Arundhati Roy’s statements were not enough, here comes another writer and renowned journalist, Malavika Sangghvi, wife of another popular writer & journo, Vir Sanghvi. For all of you who are wondering as to why Ms. Sangghvi is compared to Ms. Roy, for her (Ms. Roy’s) inflammatory, uncalled for and weird statements on August 18, 2008; Ms. Sangghvi has done anti-Indians and rabble-rousers proud by her undesirable piece of writing on page 10 (Mumbai edition), Sunday DNA, one of India’s frontline newspapers. This divisive article is also easily available on the worldwide web. It is definitely a matter of utmost shame and pity as a ‘responsible’ journalist like Malavika Sangghvi is creating furor and chaos to the already worrisome situation in Kashmir, an integral part of India . Why don’t well educated Indians understand that their irresponsible personal statements involve and affect the country as a whole? It is all the more paradoxical as Ms. Sangghvi claims to be a daught

Either Arundhati Roy’s faculties are not in place OR she needs to be banished from India…

Seems author Suzanna Arundhati Roy is on a totally different ‘trip’ and ‘high’ on an unusual note! Indian nationals who support the cause for a united India will empathize with this statement as Ms Roy, the so-called activist made absolutely weird statements on August 18, 2008. She went on to say, “ India needs azaadi from Kashmir as much as Kashmir needs azaadi from India ” . Not only are her statements bizarre, they will undoubtedly add MORE fuel to the already existing fire in Kashmir ! Most of the Indians in India and across the globe, plus millions of people the world over are aware about the Kashmir issue, which has turned into a hunting ground for India’s ‘neighbour’, Pakistan, foreign mercenaries and local terrorists. Is Ms. Roy aware that so many Kashmiri Pandits have fled, RATHER were forced to flee from their own homeland? Is Ms. Roy aware of the Simla Pact? Doesn’t Ms Roy know that Pakistan and Bangladesh were parts of India and divided as independent nations for

India Shining, at the Olympics…

Indians are FINALLY making their mark in Olympics, the international multi-sport event. It is unambiguously a moment of pride, guts and glory, not only for the emergent winners, but also for the entire nation. Abhinav Bindra set the ball rolling by winning the FIRST individual Olympic gold medal for India . Presumably he was the trend setter, and tangibly set the adrenalin flowing… Akhil Kumar, the fearless pugilist, unnerved the current world champion in the bantam weight category and marched on to the quarter finals where he fell- valiantly fighting, may be it wasn’t his day but he did set the standard in the Indian (and international) boxing circuit, emerging as the ‘winner’. Sushil Kumar also made his mark as the Indian wrestler. Even though boxer Jitender Kumar went down fighting in the 51 kg category, he made us proud by registering a quarterfinal berth. Now, the entire nation will wait and watch their hero, pugilist Vijender, perform and excel for another place in his
