Dr. Kalam

Dr Kalam was a storehouse of knowledge and wisdom and a powerhouse for motivational talks and writings.

Probably he had nearly 14 hours a day for this purpose in the last 10-12 years, it seems. The most successful man in time utilisation in the absence of any family commitments and bad habits like others in the society!

Lee Kuan Yew

A law student from Cambridge, otherwise born into the third generation middle class Chinese family in Singapore in 1923, had the opportunity to form the People's Action Party  in 1954 and win the elections in 1959. Lee became the Prime Minister. After an initial merger with Malaysia, Singapore parted the way after two years and started its forward march under his rule since 1960. 

In the next three decades he transformed a tiny and sleepy fisherman island into an economically powerful city nation. Now the per capita income in Singapore is around  U S. dollar 55000/. 

Reason for success:

Enterprising and dedicated leadership

Incorruptible and strict government

Control on freedom of speech and media

Single party rule for 3-4 decades with no opposition

People's cooperation with the government

Is it possible in India to repeat that system given the constitution of India, diversity in race, religion, language, culture, history, geography etc? Not really.

A disciplined democracy, with press freedom subordinated to national goals, pronounced and practised by selfless individuals at the apex level and supported by a bureaucracy committed to the Constitution of India and the socialistic pattern of Indian society alone can pave the way for transformation of India into a world class nation developed in all aspects.

Can the Modi's role and rule be expected to usher in such a transformation in India?

Do or die

A big battle is expected in Bihar during the ensuing Assembly elections between BJP under Narendra Modi and others under the leadership of Nitish Kumar.

BJP National President Amit Shah has started the campaign today with 160 raths from Patna. Caste factor may or may not work in anybody's favour this time. Powerful oratory skills would be deployed by the PM.

Nativity in Nitish would be tested for his sincerity and honesty with which he has worked as CM so far  in the state. It is a political battle worth watching in the days to come.

The PM would  take this election in a much more serious way after the debacle in Delhi. If he wins this time, nobody can challenge him easily for the next ten years. If he fails it would be a big blow to his stature and hard work.
