Even if this shocks some people, I can accurately predict that a second emergency, like that we witnessed during 1975-1977, is coming in India, may be in about one year's time, in which democracy, freedom of speech and of the press, and civil liberties will all be totally suppressed.
Consider the facts logically :
1. This government came to power on high expectations with the slogan of ' vikaas ' or development. This meant, or at least was perceived as, millions of jobs for the youth, industrial growth benefiting businessmen and others, and general prosperity for the public.
2. We are now 7 months since the new government came to power, but one can see no traces of vikaas ( see my articles ' The Shape of Things to come ', ' Vikas ', 'Healthcare in India', ' Malnutrition in India ', 'Unemployment in India;, ' The Trickle Down Theory ', etc on facebook and my blog justicekatju.blogspot.in ), but only stunts like Swatchata Abhiyaan, Ghar wapasi, Good Governance day, etc. In these articles I have demonstrated that under the economic policies being pursued by this government there is bound to be further economic recession and further unemployment, malnutrition, farmers' suicides and poverty, though a handful of big businessmen may benefit.
3. Consequently this government will become increasingly unpopular day by day, as people, especially the youth, get disillusioned and realize that they were befooled and taken for a ride by our superman who promised a paradise and Shangri-La in India with his accession to power, but have left people in the lurch.
Presently no doubt the BJP is winning state elections, but that is because the Congress party has given a walk over by persisting in retaining a discredited Sonia and Rahul Gandhi as its leaders, not because the BJP has fulfilled its electoral promises.
4. This disillusionment and disenchantment, coupled with the terrible economic hardships and distress the Indian people are facing, with rising prices, rising unemployment, widespread malnutrition, farmers suicides, etc, is bound to lead to widespread popular agitations, disturbances, and turbulence all over the country
5. To deal with these, harsh measures will be employed by the Government, in other words, some kind of Emergency which we witnessed from 1975-1977, will be imposed in the country, in which all civil liberties, freedom of speech and of the press, and all vestiges of democracy will be suppressed
wow! It's great post.thanks for shearing it.

With due respect again, totally disagree with your observations... Infact couple of factual assertions cited by you is also incorrect, as such so-called "only stunts" were not sponsored or supported by the Government of India... You being such a noted & eminent personality and also holding a very important post, one does not expect such irresponsible/ incorrect assertions... And, even if I am just like any other 'aam aadmi' of this great nation, but atleast I can take responsibility and vouch that your views expressed in this blog are totally out of context, immature and irresponsible.. Today being January 7, 2015, lets mark this day in our respective diaries and we will see what happens by January 7, 2016 in respect of the aspects on which views have been expressed by you here... Such views only create stir in the society and disturb its peace and wellness, when one should have been devoting time, energy and efforts in making their and India's future bright... It is not only Government's responsibility to work for the development of the nation, it equally is our responsibility to work towards that...
ReplyDeleteMr Thakur, You are a fool if you voted for Mr. Modi on development because he has track record of preventing voilence.
DeleteFor your ease of reference, here is a link to an article only on certain facts by an external agency: http://t.co/nbkIajI7Jz
ReplyDeleteI would not mind to go with your prophecy. It is a probability. But then the world is not what it was in 1975. And I wonder if the present generation will not be restive. The mammoth and tantalising promises have indeed attracted people like flies to honey but as you said reality will be a shocker soon. Fantastic rhetoric and a governance based on favouring the elite may be the nemesis.
ReplyDeleteSurely 6 more months down the road will tell if Modi is a zero and an air balloon opr is a man of substance. Going by his past it seems to be heading into bad times , worse times.
Yes! Thats true. Things which happened in Gujrat will now happen in India.Only publicity and add nothing practical. Inequality among rich and poor will grow at much faster rate then it happened earlier.
ReplyDelete"INERTIA" is the FIRST Law of Motion. And to galvanize this nation into positive action needs some time, I suppose. If Katju thinks it should be six months, well.. I beg to differ.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I am confident that in another year, the rate of improvement of the economy will be good.
Many of the current BJP cabinet members fought the Congress party imposed emergency and were jailed for 16 plus months..... If history is any guide, then we could infer that BJP has a greater respect for democracy and free speech than the Congress Party.

ReplyDeleteHah removed my comment after I exposed you.Coward
DeleteDidnt expect this kind of kiddish article from person of your stature.Atleast allow modi governmnet to give budget of their own.You have showcased that only modi is responsible for unemployment and everything.This is baggage we are carrying for last 65 years due to caste based reservation instead of reservation based on economic status
ReplyDeleteAadat seh majboor hain
DeleteThis is sheer bullshit from Katju .. I think he was not offered any position by BJP govt . Idiotic article .
ReplyDeletei 100% agree with you
ReplyDeleteUnder BJP umbrella aall parivaar organisation trying to polarize hindus for Hindu rashtra!!it already created troubles in the mind of secul;ar hindus ,cristians and muslims.in keral we could see "Ghar vapsi" they make converted Dalith cristians to dalith Hindus.they are exploiting their poverty,backwardness,which is done 100% for getting govt reservations. So conversion of religion is a matter to live.so it is very pity for hindus...
With this article Mr Katju has laid a strong claim for the title of "Dumbest Author of 2015". And the year has only just began. Hats off to you sir!
