Churning In Indian Polity Not Known In Brevity

Churning In Indian Polity Not Known In Brevity

Coalition should be the rule book for all feathers of political landscape and there shouldn't be any need to ape. Be it inaccessible leader making tall promises or miniscule one with no circumspect agenda time is ripe to embrace coalition in totality even if at the helm the one required is someone with enough dose of agility. Be it brute majority or majority bordering on thin line coalition courting would be fine. The decade of '90s bears testimony to the fact that coalition convergence was there with two different regimes going for a complete overhaul be it Winter or Fall. Had it not been for coalition administrators of '90s would have fallen like pack of cards with none willing to get swayed by invites to become Cabinet Turks. The decade of '80s gave thumping majority to one party post November 84 and it almost sailed for five years notwithstanding coming at different intervals hiccups and fears. There were error of judgements and idiosyncrasies creeping in letting the regime live a life not free from trouble spots and very much akin to tied in knots. Crestfallen it would have been in the middle of tenure but firefighters were in plenty to make it five year secure. 

Three-fourth Backing In Lower House In The '80s

The verdict the grand old party secured was unbelievable with a wish it won't gain from any quarter any trouble. Some would surmise three-fourth backing in Lower House made success go to its head and that brought curtains with agonising moments felt by sections who were hurt by a series of u-turns. Despite such range of aberrations this regime had tales of success to enumerate and that was A grade. Freeing the enterprise from pivotal licence raj to a beginning where liberalisation cloaked in fits and starts (READ COMPUTERISATION), the intimacy with the masses brought revelation of sorts. For every One Indian Rupee meant for downtrodden less than 15 paisa reached the last man standing in the queue giving tell tale signs of middlemen hue. This reign came to an end in the closing months of 1989 and in came a dispensation whose term was short and too fell by the way side and at that time the future was by no means bright.

Those At The Helm From 1991-96 And 1999-2004

From 1991 to 1996 and 1999 to 2004 different dispensations snuggled under coalition comfort took centrestage with partners giving time and again the necessary nudge reminding rulers of their age. From 1991 to 96 liberalisation started in full steam giving hopes to job aspirants and their dreams. From 1999 to 2004 the campaign of India shinning invited much ridicule despite some having handy tools. Rulers came to rule bringing alongside cheerleaders and as the tenure drew to a close the political upheaval left the nation with enough bruise. From 2004 onwards post a decade of liberalisation out came an alliance whose goal was to construct a fabric to embrace all which was much lost in the melee of 97-99 when none of the powers that be could score beyond 11. But this grand design post 2004 had its downside as well as it gave enough powers to some coalition stalwarts to take decisions not based on merit and musings and that brought disrepute of untold nature leading to irreversible rupture. Two successive five years and by 2013-14 it fell way short of cheers. Since 2014 the ruling dispensation has tried to sail with course correction being the prime goal and this overdrive has led to losing one feather here and another there. The 2014-2019 period it was by no means a solo party at the helm much riding on the back of support from different allies and this was no surprise. 

Diluting The Political Script of '50s To '80s Is Unacceptable; It Has Been A Mixed Bag 

From 2019 onwards it has been one block taking decisions on its own much displaying the tenor and tone. From political firmament to economic testament it has been a mixed bag, bringing joy in some sphere, bringing neutral tidings near. Vendetta politics and politics of disrepute may have found illustrations here and there; folly judgements during course of time got duly corrected on its own or by intervention by courts and not shaking the fort. Course correction shouldn't spell the urgency to demean the opposition; the runaway target may not necessarily mean to highlight the existential dilemmas of regimes of the past; diluting the political script of '50s to '80s in one go is entirely unacceptable no matter how long is driver's seat and table. Coalition undercurrents would time and again prevail; solo runway would be hard to chase as it would signal intent to belittle constitution irrespective of emerging intuition. Come to think of nation as diverse as India with North trying to gain edge over South, East in somersault with West over who could release gainful employment and disruptive blocks taking much desired rest. No West, No East, No North, No South parallels would hold water as each territory is on its own and have disdain to engage with pawn. Come to think of a nation where conversation with the masses round the clock would hold one in good stead giving ample opportunities to access butter and bread. Come to think of a nation that takes comfort in the young population that it has and it shouldn't make judgements that are out and out crass. 

The Will To Rule, The Will To Drool

The will to rule and the will to drool would see canvas of opportunities emerge for those wishing to take the crown even if texture is brown. Inch closer to chair as it is a five year fair. Inch closer to a reality as coalition is round the year necessity. Inch closer to a fabric that gives respect to all and stays miles away from unfolding brawl. Inch closer to opportunities that guarantee nation security. Inch closer to judgements that illustrate the longevity of a nation and illustrious innings played by torchbearers from time to time and retaining shine. Inch closer to give nation the gratitude it deserves for manifold applause gained from quarters that don't shirk. Inch closer to give traction to over 1.5 billion plus people aspiration as they have all along been nudged by inspiration. Democracy Is Here To Stay, Coalition Would Be Much In The Fray. Hail Democracy, Hail India.
