Justice Katju once said “90% of Indians are Idiots, They do not have brain on their heads”. That was an outrageous statement. RGV used harsh words on people’s thought process that “Every mouth has an opinion”.
Pavan kalyan conveyed the same message gracefully with dignity by saying ‘Our Telugu people are emotional and can be easily manipulated’.
He was modest, charming, patient, interesting, upraised curiosity, shown serenity and optimism in attacking opponents with excellent oration skills. That is the heart of the Pavan Kalyan we all know. His opinion came from his heart probably for same reason all spectators instantly connected with his thoughts simply because every common man thinks with his heart and acts emotional as same as him.
Mega star positive image as film hero helped Pavan to establish himself a successful one whereas his flop star image in politics helped Pavan to become hero in politics instantaneously with just one marathon speech.
The extremity of anguish and pain he has shown in that speech was accepted by audience with roar. His honesty silenced his opponents; in fact they were speechless. Naturally the anguish and frustration of Pavan should have affected every member of the Congress party including his God brother because every party is for, by and of the people. In reality, congress is party formed with good ideologies and intentions (many of us may not know: To be a member of Congress Party, one should not touch Alcohol) but it was polluted with selfish and power hunger people like his brother.
Treating his brother as God and lambasting other leaders in the same party did not go well with many because what he exhibited was truly against his ideologies of nepotism.
Prejudice is another angle of corruption. His empathy towards his brother was dubious that did not mean he should have criticized his brother too but he should not have excluded him when he did so.
Pavan is largely inspired by his rebellion guru Che Guevara. He spoke highly of socialism, equal rights, equal justice, and eradication of system miseries. That means his dream of society with no Nepotism, Casteism, and corruption.
Che was largely successful as leader because his ideology was strong and situations prevailing in those days are helped him to sustain his revolutionary thoughts but he was unsuccessful as politician because ideologies are not practical. Ground Politics is not as easy as reading political science in a closed room. He should have followed the approach of AAP that treating all political parties are enemies of society and attacking strategically at the ground level. He should adopt the shrewdness of AAP in attracting young and intelligent common man otherwise his ideologies will die like another Loksatta party.
Pavan exactly did opposite of what AAP has done because Pavan is struggling between his honesty and practicality. He is emotionally honest and honestly emotional. Someone said "Action without thought is Impulsiveness, Thought without Action is Procrastination”. He did both in his second meeting in Vizag, the result: his political graph is skewed right where as his ideologies are skewed left.
Throughout his speech he mentioned moral sentences, referred many instances and quoted many famous personalities like Gaddar, Kanchi Ialaiah, Bhagat Singh etc. Kanchi Ialaiah is known for his famous book why I am not a Hindu. He is against Hindu caste system, and in equalities. Gaddar is, was against dictatorship and spent whole life in fighting for social justice.
All the famous personalities he referred are socialistic and democratic spirited leaders. After speaking Ideologies of these people, he joined hands with immoral, non-communal, pro capitalist- Modi who is also branded as democratic dictator. That means his actions are very different from his speeches.
Probably, he is in hurry to remove the congress from gross roots level in Andhra and to do that he find solace with another congress enemy. To be a political party leader, thinking should be straight. There is no party in the history which formed an alliance with another party before its formation.
If both party ideologies are similar, then there is no need for new party or support is only for an individual, you don’t need party to support him either. You cannot keep both ideologies (socialistic and capitalistic) in one sheath.
History has many examples of people and countries that are failed in striking balance between them. That can be Ideological blunder for any political leader.
Modern politics are astute and there is no ideologies people are interested in. But when you speak of them you need to follow them. Rajiv Gandhi once said “8 paisa of one Rupee is reaching the beneficiary”. Now it must be 8 paisa for every Rs100. Growing selfishness, socio economic reasons are behind this change. One needs to understand them with global perspective and globalization effect on Individuals and society. Mere reading of political science with revolutionary thoughts will not help.
Sometime back there were slogans everywhere in India that youth and educated should come in politics to change them.
Modern politicians are highly educated and they do know the theories of political science, ideologies of famous people in the world but they are showing a friendly face by hiding a shrewd political mind.
For that matter, all bureaucrats, NGO’s and regular employees are well educated. What happened? It is getting worse day by day. Now everyone wants system to change in fact people thought process needs to change. People change when it is necessary for them to change. They don’t change because someone said so. Pavan should have realized this with PRP experience.
Closed room discussions, ideologies are nothing but self-answering for self-Satisfaction of Self-raised questions.
Pavan must be wishing something really big for the Telugu people with honest thoughts but as of now he just expressed his anger without any clarity. Our PM- Man Mohan is honest person on the earth but what is his contribution to the country as a PM. Efficiency with progressive thoughts, Dynamism with balanced aggression are most important qualities of a leader.
Brain releases endorphins when we are singing, talking with passion or emotion that makes us feel relaxed and happy. That is the exactly the reason why singers, devotees (in Bhajana) and speakers feel happy when they voiced out.
Pawan must be happy for voiced out his opinions emotionally and his fans must be happy for shouting slogans in favor of him. Common man, who are watching him from a closed rooms are confused with PavanISM.
