This article does not dwell into the casteism politics per se we see around in Today's Politics in India. But we try to compare this on a more wider perspective. This article may be long, so please bear with me.

Historical Perspective

Just, after independence, the dynamics of Indian politics shifted towards a protected socialism, aided by Nehru.

His ideologies though were of being self reliant or being "Aatmanirbhar ", but was built on a lofty ideology of the Russian Model of centrism.

Though his work of setting up the Planning Commission was a relatively good initiative. These five year plans were not tremendously successfull but did pave way for a Green Revolution, Indian Institutes of Technology, University Grants Commission. Even the Infant Mortality Rate decreased contributing to the population boom we see around 1960-1990.

Even the latter five year plans did well but could not touch the hearts of common Indians. (Fun Fact- P. C. Mahanalobis was the co chair of the second five year plans) and he attempted to determine the optimal allocation of investment between productive sectors in order to maximise long-run economic growth. It used the prevalent state-of-the-art techniques of operations research and optimization as well as the novel applications of statistical models developed at the Indian Statistical Institute.

But all came to a halt when the Balance Of Payment (BoP) crisis shattered all plans. It started in 1985 after a huge Current Account Deficit occured(CAD), a huge Gross Fiscal Deficit and a dried up loan market hit the government at both centre and state level.

Moreover the two gulf wars had a devastating effect on oil prices further , shooting up prices of logistics and further plummeted the Rupee.

Rise of New Champions!

Remember 1985-92 was a fragile period of Indian Politics as all the infamous incidents happened starting from the Chandrasekhar led government not being able to pass the budget, Babri Masjid, L. k. Advani ji led Ratha Yatra and even Lalu Prasad coming to power in Bihar on the promise of social justice.

Indian politics have changed a lot over these years and every lay man can understand it's shifts as for India it's a flipped case where the poor and uneducated sections understand politics far better than the elite class hypocrite who only say "Yeh hona chahiye tha, Woh hona Chahiye tha" but never say "Yeh hum karenge". While in USA it's a classic case where the poor know whom to elect but fail many a times.

The new century was earmarked by the Atal Era whose charm, majestic speeches admirable jokes and firm nature did us good in the long run, you believe it or not.

Recently I came across an interesting survey and report by India Today.

India Today’s Data Intelligence Unit (DIU) has found that for the last 20 years, the average age of Lok Sabha MPs has always been above 50. The same holds true for the 17th Lok Sabha.

These are senior politicians who have worked their way up the ladder by mass movements and support of the janta.

But there are true exceptions always.

The exception being a flock of young dynamic leaders with whom several people may not relate their ideology but their fiery speeches, number crunching, pragmatic approach has fascinated quite a few people, I am among those.

Though I would like to keep my political identity silent but myself amused how they are working in a different approach.

Few of these young leaders include Tejaswi Surya, Tejaswi Yadav, Chirag Paswan, Kanhaiya Kumar(JNU fame) .

But the main agenda will be to focus on the headline of the Two Tejaswi Theory.

Narendra Modi said, "Aap toh Tejaswi bhi hain, aur Surya bhi" for Bangalore South MP of BJP Tejaswi Surya.

The other Tejaswi being the younger son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, fighting hard for the CM seats as I am writing this article on counting day. The question whether he will win or not does not create a stir in democracy but mere presence of such a young leader who gave a strong befitting reply to the incumbent NDA alliance led by Nitish Kumar is a good sign for Bihar Politics.

The party to which these two gentlemen belong are miles apart in ideology, thought on social issues, economy and reservation.

The Tejaswi vs Tejaswi Battle

Surya and Yadav belong to different states being Karnataka and Bihar respectively but the societal nature is quite same as far as I know. Both are conservative and caste driven. Though their economies are hugely different their politics of 'mafia' and 'dabang ism' is quite same.

It is a matter of time that both meet at the same house some day or other but they should not falter on the Constitution as the hope of revival of our country as Vishwa Guru will shatter.

Surya is now BJYM National President while Yadav is the CM candidate of Bihar this time! Surya is more Capitalist in approach and talks about modern technology ,jobs and gender equality while Yadav is more focused on jobs and social justice ,socialism per se. I hope this creates a good mix but it is quite impossible if both fight their way against each other.

We know all people fear the so called "Jungle Raj culture" but we have to give people a chance as we have given Congress and even Modi. If they fail, they may learn but not at the cost of human dignity and life.

Thus it is the voter who speaks but not the politics if power grabbing at last. Though India as a democracy is not on the top list ranking only 51 out of 165 nation ranking by EIU.

India's overall score fell from 7.23 in 2018 to 6.90 in the Index that provides a snapshot of the current state of democracy worldwide for 165 independent states and two territories.

This we as a responsible citizen should not think on 10 lakh jobs or 15 lakh rupees in accounts, but be more cautious in choosing and should avoid propaganda and misinformation at all cost, otherwise the Constitutional values will diminish.

I hope you liked this article but if not tell me where can i improve!
