This week’s Bansal and KUMAR controversy leaves me wondering that we are perhaps seeing Mahabharata play again albeit the modern way.. Policy makers bending laws and disrobing institution for personal/political gain and what is shocking is they are backed so fiercely by people at the top..
Our man at the helm is behaving like dhritarashtra who is meek, biased and unable to take tough decisions. The desire to hold on to the chair has blinded him of all the muck that is going around and has failed the country. At times he has also behaved like Bheeshma being true to THE family in right or wrong, good or bad..
I would think a weak, good leader is worse than a strong bad leader. Amazing how someone who has had such clean track record personally all through his career has tarnished his image completely just because he has kept mum.
To borrow it from a European economist who said “I fear German power less than Germany’s inaction” on the European crisis, i think the same holds true for India’s policy makers.
