On Manmohan’s Economic
Reform Exercise
Some one remarked long
ago:
“After having tried
ineffiently and
Dishonestly to help the
poor,
The Govt is determined
to help the rich
Honestly and
efficiently”.
This quote was in the
early years of Reform era
Having spent two terms,
as FM and PM,
He has become a lame
duck politician.
Suddenly he became a
reformist again
To help the rich
honestly and efficiently
By opening up Retail
Trade.
He may think, he has
taken a big step forward
Time alone would tell
How this great nation
is slowly
Mortgaged to overseas
vested interest,
Inclusive of Domestic
Monopolies
And criminalized politicians
soaked in dirt and filth of various scams and scandals
What we need now is
Not second generation
of reform
But second war of
independence,
To set right the cumulative
neglect of the poor.

Sir,
As Jesus put it so eloquently in his Beatitudes "The meek shall inherit the earth". All the rich, powerful of the past are all dead mostly in ways as violent as they lived. The poor though are always there on this good earth. Where are the successors of Julius Caesar?
