A True Comandante en Jefe - Fidel

Yes, He was a true Commander in Chief of a national army and ruled his people for nearly 50 years. He overthrew Batisa and there after fought 9 US Presidents and 638 CIA attempts to kill him. Fidel Castro is a name that will live in history for many reasons notably for his Anti American activities. His life so far is a long war and he was a true warrior in every sense of it. I love him for his courage and his conviction. He was a dictator of a different kind though he lived in Idi Amin, Hitler, Polpot, Saddam era. Though he was not as gruesome as his counterparts are but he had been critical to some extent to his opponents well how can a dictator sustain if he is so democratic. I do not subscribe to the idea of dictatorship and I strongly believe that democracy is the only system that is human friendly. I liked Fidel's quality of celebrating his co-warrior and he did not down play his friend Che Guevera's contribution like most others do but it is really worrying that he has passed his mantle (Cuba) to his brother Raul Castro which sounds dynastic though Raul has fought for Cuban freedom/development hand in hand with Fidel.

Though Fidel is out of power in Cuba, he would continue to influence his country towards development and against America until and after his life on earth. He will be looked as a Comandante en Jefe/a warrior/saviour of Cuba forever in history. Good Luck on your retirement Fidel. Good Luck Cuba with your new leader.

T"(W)hack"rey's in the Rat Race........

Can politics go any nastier than this? I am sure it will if we keep tolerating to the whacky comments made by these Whackrey's from Mumbai which is dangerous to our national integrity. They play this divisive politics to gain political mileage, this is another way of terrorism thats breeding in this country. But the Junior's new MM slogan is a failed formula tried and tested by his the senior uncle as early as 70's, senior eventually moved to religious politics coz he did not gain enough mileage with the that slogan. Is Marati's all that bad? Does these guys represent them or reflect them? No they do not. A true Marati will not encourage or subscribe to this kinda division atleast the one's who came and believe to be Shivaji's decents. I say this coz Shivaji united the struggle against the Mughal's and brought hope in a lot of people and he was a force that made heads turn to him from all over the world. These so called Shivaji Sainik's are just people looking to fool people and rob this country of its pride and integrity. If this cleansing politics has not worked in the 70's, I dont know what makes these polikillers think it will work in a fast paced and changing culture/environment. This junior who uses BMW's and Mercedes fails to understand that the world is changing/changed a lot. If a person can go to USA get work and a citizenship and vote for a leader there, why not a person go and work in a different place in his country. I dont know how far this is going to help the new comer in establishing himself into politics but am for sure he is going to fade away sooner than expected. Afterall, his political birthplace and its leader who was worshipped few years ago is struggling hard to show them/himself as a force in state politics. I think we should have them read Tamil Nadu's political history where we made CM's who belonged or born in our neighbouring states and one of our greatest star is a Marata by birth and we always have felt proud and celebrated him and did not debate what he did to Bangalore or Maharashtra than TamilNadu. This is like asking a kid are you father's kid or mother's? if you ask this in a literal sense it is nonsense. It is our mother India and this is a family where Marata's, Tamil's, Keralite's are our brothers and sisters. "Get matured kid" probably you have to give away your rich GOGGLE's for better vision.

Race between Politicking and Politics!!!

The Democratic Presidential Race results have started emerging and this very moment Hillary has won 9 states while Obama has won 13 states. The delegate votes scenario is - Obama secured a total of 646 delegates votes in which pledged are 540 and superdelegates are 106. Hillary's delegate votes are 531 pledged and 193 superdelegates. While Obama leads in the number of states he has won he trails in the race for delegates with a total of 646 and Hillary leads with a total of 724. Very interesting fact here is the pledged votes secured by both the contenders. Obama leads in that while Hillary trails but Superdelegates she leads. This shows that the "Clinton" brand name has worked for Hillary and even in America an influential person can succeed over people's choice. To explain this, I have to give a little insight about what is pledged and superdelegates.

Pledged: "Voters select delegates in primaries and caucuses throughout the country (States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and the United States Virgin Islands). Pledged delegates reflect the preferences of the voters, but are not actually legally bound to vote for the candidate they are pledged for."

Superdelegates - "Superdelegates are delegates to a presidential nominating convention in the united states who are not bound by the decisions of party primaries or caucuses. Superdelegates are elected officeholders and party officials. They are sometimes referred to as "unpledged delegates," but some unpledged delegates are not superdelegates."

The notable point here is "Superdelegates were first appointed in the 1970s, after control of the nomination process in the Democratic Party effectively moved out of the hands of party officials into the primary and caucus process. The aim was to grant some say in the process to people who had been playing roles in the party before the election year."

The bold-couloured words says it all..........the beurocracy in the party has voted for Hillary and it is because of the Clinton tag behind her and it is obtained through influence over a first time senator who is supported by the primaries and caucuses which is the cadre level in the party and has direct contact with people. In way he is liked and majority Democratic workers are behind him and they believe he is the politician they want as their leader but the "Clinton's" politicking prevetns people choice. Lets wait and watch what win's politicking? or politics?
