I am not an admirer of Akhilesh Yadav

One of my senior colleagues asked whether I  am an admirer of Akhilesh Yadav.  Absolutely no. Never I can. why should I   be a fan of politicians? I am not a seasoned politician. I never fought elections.I am a full time journalist and it is my proffession.  I use to observe politics. It is my passion to watch political developments.    I use to support and encourage new generation. because it is need of the hour. young generation with political clarity must emerge.Akhilesh Yadav is now elevated to the throne of UP CM. Hence I tweeted

 ' you are  elevated not only  to a particular position. But ur the successor of the Socialist Movement of India. Hence Your responsibility is very high.`

 Does it mean that I am an admirer of Akhilesh? What is wrong in it. why should we underestimate a person whom we don't know. Why should we curse him on his victory? Of course I am curious to observe his performance. Of course I am disturbed and disappointed about his cabinet colleagues.The   presence of Ambanis in the swearing ceremony again disappointed me. But let us wait and see how he performs. If he go wrong every one has the right to criticise. I will be in the forefront to do that.

But we should not under estimate persons. In UP He has a thumping victory. It is a peoples verdict. It is a people's mandate. We all must respect it. because I am sure If I had contested there with my ideological monopoly I could not  gather even 1000 votes. It is a reality. Peoples' mandate is more than every thing. If I failed to gather people's support it is my duty to accept and analyse my failure. Why blame others?

Mrs.Thacher the Saviour of European Economy

CRISIS OF MODERN CIVILISATION
BY
P.V.KURIAN

The British people as a whole are carried not by idealism but by pragmatism. The Labour Government brought many fundamental changes in the economy and they were on the whole in the right direction. But unfortunately the Trade Unions began to function as a heavy stone around the neck of the Labour Government and dictated terms to the Government. The British People enmasse resented this arrogance of the Trade unions. Trade Unions started endless strikes which which shattered Britain's economy. The labour Government lacked managerial efficiency. The traditional conservative British People preferred efficiency in management of  the Governmental affairs to policies and and voted for Mrs. Thacher and Tories.
Mrs. Thacher, the iron woman was an able administrator. She put a stop to the drifting of affairs. The economy showed some sign  sign of improvement. One may be surprised to know that Mrs. Thacher is looked upon by the British People as a great revolutionary. Mr. Winston churchill saved Britain from Nazis and Hitler. Mrs. Thacher saved Britain from economic chaos and collapse. The trend in Britain  for managerial efficiency in economy reminds one of the weimer Republics, the economic collapse of the post war Germany in the thirties  which led to the rise  of the Nazis and Hitler as the  saviour of German economy. In Italy also economic chaos  led to the rise of the Facism and Musolini who promised the Italian people the glory of the Roman empire. Economic  collapse led to the failure of  Liberals and Socialists in the Europe since European Socialists were mostly concerned  with distribution  of National Wealth than stepping up of production and giving new dimensions to socialist thought and action.

Socialist Unity again

Akhilesh Yadav is now the CM of UP. He is elevated not only to   the throne of UP CM alone. Now he is considered as the successor of the historic Socialist movement of India lead by great leaders like Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia and Jayaprakas Narayanan. may this responsibilty lead and strengthen  his thought and actions. He along with  SP has a great role to play in the arena of indian politics . Being the major Socialist group in India it is their responsibility to initiate the process of unity. A  total unity is not an  easy task .but this is the right time for such initiations.
Hence the relevant questions before the socialist leaders are

1.If  they could sit together to form a separate Socialist  block in the parliament?

2,Parties like  SP, RJD, JDU, BijuJanathadal, Janathadal (secular) come together to build a common platform?.
3.Will they  think of a Socialist confederation?

If they could do this it will be a historic move in indian politics.but It is not an easy task,  because these  leaders are victims of past and they still  haunt by it. But history is not    the story of continuous  war and mutual  hatred.      It is also  the story of tolerance,  patience and mutual trust for a greater common good. whether this leaders learn from past experience?

GREAT BRITAIN TODAY

CRISIS OF MODERN CIVILISATION
BY


P.V. KURIAN

European intellectuals, scientists, humanists,liberals, socialists and communists under the false belief that the present West European civilisation is the be-end and the be-all of human progress and that its science, technology and liberalism are the panacea for the ills of mankind and will eradicate the poverty of Asia and Africa and Latin America. But it is the other way.

The present day rich Euro-America and the poverty stricken  Asia and Africa cannot coexist together on the surface of the earth for very long. The poverty of Asia and Africa will hamper the progress of Euro-America and will in turn result in the breaking up of their dominance, standard of life and civilisation. The development in Soviet Russia are  only the precursor to the decline and fall of present day civilisation, its technology and science, in the rest of Europe and America.The picture which Mr. David Day gave of the present conditions in Great Britain and West Europe is dismal.

Great Britain is no more an industrial Nation. She has very few manufacturing industries. Major section of the populace are employed in service industries like Railways, Airways , Telecommunications, Banking, Insurance etc. The employees in these industries which form the bulk of the labour do not like themselves to be called working class. They detest the very word 'working class` and like to be called middle class. Most of the industries nationalised by Labour Government  have been de-nationalised by the Tories.
