Total (Dis)Revolution

In the July 1974, Shri Jay Prakash Narayan roared, “If the agitation succeeds, it will engulf the whole nation within a year. This is a revolution. A total revolution”. The hard-hitting word came, when rampaging students in Gujarat managed to bring down the State Government, and that time he was mulling to repeat this experiment in Bihar, UP and other states.

Highly educated, highly qualified and well-versed JP who studied at University of California, Berkeley and University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA returned to India in 1929, and straight headed towards Congress Party and participated in freedom movement. Glowing with radiant as well as militant ideologies against British Raj, he soon got disenchanted with Congress party politics and then declined to join Nehru cabinet after independence and finally opposed the party-based politics and devoted his attention to “reconstruction of the Indian Polity” - village, district, state and union.

A passionate man, who was enflamed with the desire to see corruption-free India, stood against the rising corruption in India in 1974. His myopic vision led him to die in a very painful way. The reason, Shri Lalu Pd Yadav gave us yesterday. The failure of JP movement is that he was talking and painting about corrupt practices in Government sectors based on his old ideological philosophy. He did not recognize the same lot of person around him who were waiting to loot the coffin of Government.

I, too, give the credit of 1974 movement to Shri Lalu Pd Yadav who realized his dream of 1974-77 during his rule in late 1990s. This movement created complete anarchy in Bihar, inculcated chaos in the minds of majority amongst us. Criminal-minded students fooled JP and got free ride to assembly and parliament crushing the sentiments of JP and common people as well. A determined Indira Gandhi too retaliated in the same way in 1980 election to return to power citing “Nature demands Symmetry”. Thus what happened to our state is known to us.

I am thankful to our Railway Minister that he is accepting the fact that he was the brainchild of this most infamous 1974 movement. Indira Gandhi was right. Yes, not only Smt (Late) Indira Gandhi but also visionary people of India criticized JP as an irresponsible rabble-rouser out to destroy democratic government and the social fabric of the country. Certainly these people were seeing the sinister design of his (JP) cohorts.

Anyway what happened is happened. Truth from Shri Lalu Yadav surprised many of us. I hope he will now truly follow the path shown by Shri Jay Prakash Narayan except his most infamous style of “defensible violence”, which he missed in 1974 due to his own brain-child policy (corruptive defensible violence). Lets’ hope that his party RJD will be the first party in India completely free from the clutches of iniquitous hustlers.

Truth has been released.

 

Comments:
Lalu Prasad Yadav is at his height of JOKERaai! The soul of poor JP should feel lucky that Lalu is not running around saying that he made JP a grown up leader (from a kid to a leader)! This is called 360 degree PULTI.

I wish God bless Lalu to be gutful to also confess as how for 15 years he and his genius close associates destroyed dignity, economy and almost every system of Bihar. - Naren Singh, India/USA - Apr. 27, 2007
