ARVIND KEJRIWAL : ANARCHIST OR FASCIST

Top post on IndiBlogger.in, the community of Indian Bloggers

The political weather in India is very hot these days and people are leaving no stone un-turned to blame each other and bring each other down. In all this chaos the new bee of Indian politics are being targeted the most.



It has been really amusing to see some of these acquisitions though. You may have heard many say on national television that AAP (or Aam Aadmi Party) is fascist and Arvind kejriwal is fascist at the same time they even go on to say Arvind Kejriwal is anarchist. I just wondered how the same man can be anarchist and fascist at the same time.

To explain it better to you, let us understand what these terms mean

Anarchist is a person who tries to abolish the government and the social system based on voluntary mass movement. He is a person who wants to bring disorder and is anti-establishment i.e, against any establishment or institution like government.

Whereas Fascist is a dictatorial person or a person who behaves like a dictator.He is authoritarian who believes in oppressing people right. In order words he wants the total control over the Establishment or Institution like government.

One can easily understand that a person can't be anti-establishment and pro-establishment at the same time. These are totally contradicting terms used to define him. This is how intellectually challenged the people who are opposing him are.

From president terming their way of politics as "populist anarchy" and BJP's  leader of opposition telling Arvind kejriwal to rise above his anarchist attitude for which he says president has given him warning.

Even his comment "I'm anarchist" was bend by media. He said Some people are calling him anarchist but if fighting for people's right is anarchism then he's anarchist.

Some people who called him and AAP anarchist are now the once who have want to fight election on AAP's ticket. The impact is so high that even the harshest critics are changing into true supporters.

India wins Nehru Cup by defeating Cameroon

(Published on my earlier blog on September 2, 2012)

Indian football team wins the Nehru cup tournament for the third time in succession. India defeated Cameroon in the finals of the tournament by a margin of 5-4 in a penalty shoot-out at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.

The match was played with great spirit as both team tried to play possession football. The match was well poised till the full time at 2-2 after which extra time was taken. As no goals were scored during the 30 minutes of the extra time, the match went to penalty shoot-outs.

India and Indian goalkeeper, Subroto Pal are extremely lucky to be the winner of this showdown. Though Subroto pal with his charismatic skills have made India the winners during the last edition (2009) but this time it was the heroics of the shooters that made India look a better side. India scored all the 5 shots while the Cameroon missed their last one and gave India a historic victory.

Cameroon who is ranked far above India will be definitely disappointed with this performance but for India it marks a new beginning as Indian youngsters performed wonderfully.

Sunil Chetri and Robin singh looked formidable in the front and mid field was highly organized, Sunil Chetri was also awarded with the Man of the tournament award. Cheers to Indian Football.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose : Remembering the legend on his 118th birth anniversary

India is a country with many diversities. We have diversity in religion, languages, food preferences and many other things but are we a nation which can tolerate diversity in opinion? I'm asking this question today because of a very specific reason. The reason is Subhas Chandra Bose who is fondly called Netaji (Respected leader) whose 118th birth anniversary was celebrated across India on 23rd January, 2013.

There are two very important points that has to be taken into account here which shows that why a different view is not tolerated in India.

1. Netaji Subhas chandra Bose was a leader of national stature and around 1930's he can he said to be the tallest leader in India. Some people believed that he was more loved and respected than any other leader in India during that time.  He held the post of secretary in INC around 1927 and also became the president of INC in 1938 but just because of his difference in opinion with Gandhi, the man was thrown to oblivion. His birth anniversary is not given due importance and his bravery and his work for freedom struggle is not promoted. He doesn't even get half the space in the text books which Mahatma Gandhi or other leaders get.

2. Second point regarding the difference in opinion is related to his death. Some people believe that he died in a plane crash with 3rd degree burns but most of his followers and admirers believed that it was just an exit strategy from him.

Even Wikipedia writes that he died on 18th August, 1945 but that is challenged by most of the people. Many commissions were formed to investigate the validity of his death but all the results have been futile. People in India still believe that he remained alive many years after faking his death.

Interestingly,this belief has its roots in the fact that Netaji in his real life was a master of disguise, he escaped many times by fooling the British army. The people obsessed with colonial culture in India described him as the British did. They were not interested to honor him and were just interested in their own honor.

The obsession with Netaji is such that people who fought war with him still remembers him, the family of those people who grew old listening to the stories of Netaji and his bravery, still consider him among the greatest freedom fighters India ever had. 

Even in the current election season the head of the chief opposition party,Rajnath Singh,has demanded an investigation on the mystery of Netaji's death. (News article 1, News article 2 )This shows how much is the respect and affection people still have for him.


  • He gave the slogan "JAI HIND"
  • He gave the slogan "Tum Mujhe khoon do, Main tumhe Azadi Dunga" (Give me your blood and I will give you independence)
