Modern Indian Superheroes…

India gets its own brand of superheroes…

• Is it a lobbyist? Is it a spy? No it’s PR Woman!

• Hounded by the media, reviled by his opponents and painted as a vicious Dark Knight by sundry NGOs… yet Gandhinagar City turns to only one man for its development and progress… Modiman!

• Raja-man, Raja-man,
Does whatever a scamster can.
Spins a telecom web, any size,
Catches politicians, journalists and industrialists just like flies!
Look out!
Here comes the Raja-man!

• Some time back, the first Prime Minister of India took a Phantom-like “Oath of the PMO”…
“I swear to devote my life to the destruction of the enemies of the Congress… and my sons and daughters and their sons and daughters shall follow me!”

Business consolidation versus Political fragmentation

In business, it all ends in consolidation. Companies get larger and keep swallowing smaller companies.

In Indian politics, it’s all about fragmentation and disintegration.

After 1980, the Janata Party disintegrated…

After 1991, the Janata Dal fragmented into the RJD, SP, JD(S), JD(U), BJD etc.

The UP vote bank share has got divided between the Congress, BJP, BSP and SP.

The Maharashtra vote bank share has got divided between the Congress, NCP, BJP, Shiv Sena and MNS.

The latest to join the fray is the Andhra Pradesh vote bank…

…now Jagan will start collecting votes along with the Congress, TDP, Chiranjeevi along with the Telagana factor…

The Congress has split on many occasions, but luckily the splitting pieces mostly melted into the background.

As far as the BJP is concerned, while the party is intact, it is the leadership which seems to be disintegrating…

Post 2G-Radia tapes, a totally new terminology is required…

Radia Activity: The sheer scale of lobbying conducted by Niira Radia involving political parties, industrialists and journalists, which came under the Radiar of the Enforcement Directorate.

All India Radia: This title is given to the Social Networking sites as most of the mainstream media decided to boycott the tapes.

Radia Gaga: Move over Lady Gaga, a new lady has topped the Google Search index in India.

Radiation: Lobbying activity and subsequent tapes which have scorched many a bigwigs in India.

Media Radia: What Niira can call herself, emerging as a Media industry in her own right.

Radiacals: A totally new breed of lobbying radicals emerging in India.

Radiacule: What the Indian media is facing after making everyone else at the receiving end for years.

Niiravana: What enemies of Barkha Dutt and co. are feeling.

Step 1: Question him.

Step 2: File charges against him.

Step 3: Ensure a fair and speedy trial.

Step 4: Convict him.

It’s a Herculean task to just go anywhere near Step. 1.

Thereafter, there’s many as slip between each and every step.

Not to mention the thousands of hours of TV coverage and millions of words written on the issue that all go into a Black Hole…
