Good days
More than 50 days have past since Narendra Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of our nation. His ‘victory’ was a rather dramatic one – the direct result of his eloquent speeches, catchy slogans, and his penchant to stimulate development and progress. However after the ‘Union Budget 2014’ a rather sceptical notion is taking its toll on the party's momentum. Sceptics like AAP’s Bhagwant Mann are claiming that “Acche din” is an empty promise, an illusion, a lie to the nation’s people. The opposition's deliberate mockery has added fuel to the fire successfully.
Modi’s 17 point agenda boasts rapid and secure intranational facilities, including highways and metros, as well as international ones like docks. Labour, food, and energy reforms, transparency in political transactions, elimination of black money and infrastructural progression are one of the many highlights of his agenda.

"Ache Din Aane Wale Hain" has transformed from a pivotal slogan to a chant, which now, is slowly ebbing into silence. So here we are wondering what the “Ache Din” people are referring to actually mean and when are they coming?
The Hindi phrase literally translates into ‘The Good Days’ but numerous definitions for this phrase exist.

Good days for a country like India can be diminished rates of poverty, increasing employment, a sustainable rate of GDP or in fact, the completion of any other macroeconomic objective that a country strives to work towards. In light of recent events, countries have realised the importance of eradicating socio-ethical issues like female foeticide, rape, corruption, etc. However, I still pose a question at you, “Will culmination of all these issues end despair, sadness, helplessness?”

Technically, they might. But the world does not run on calculated technicalities; it is driven by emotional and social interaction. I believe the good days will begin when all the dogmas will be left out to dry, when society will be driven by a humane mindset, when

    Yet, in similar subject matter to Suzuki, Gandhi presents a need for change, exercising ideas of social equality, the environment and unity. She elevates her audience to go beyond limitations of male superiority, persuading her audience to make change, allowing Gandhi’s voice to come through as empowering. Being cultivated in a political context whilst being the prime minister, she expresses a sense of patriotism, acknowledging “friends of India” personifying India into having “the quality of India herself”. She makes her purpose clear by the accumulative listing of “inequality and injustice between the affluent and developing countries…the need to protect this our only Earth, from rapacity and exploitation… of ancient truths regarding our own utter dependence on the balance of nature and its resources.”. Gandhi makes light of these issues with frequent use of emotive language to convey her awareness and create emotional rapport with her audience, engaging them into a different insight of the world.…

    My Vision of Future

    • 3257 Words
    • 14 Pages

    most of us have a massive psychological barrier against looking seriously at the future. Many nurture the not unnatural, latent fear that any engagement with the future will turn out to be an acknowledgement of their mortality and the transience of their world. Different cultures handle this fear differently. In India’s middle-class culture, attempts to look at the future often end up as tame, defensive litanies of moral platitudes or as overly dramatic, doomsday ‘propheteering’. Even those who avoid these extremes usually view the future either as the future of the past or as a linear projection of the present. If one is a fatalist, one sees no escape from the past; if not, one often desperately tries to live in the instant present. Those who see the future as growing directly out of the present also often narrow their choices. When optimistic, they try to correct for the ills of the present in the future; when pessimistic, they presume that the future will aggravate the ills. If one views the future from within the framework of the past, one arrives at questions like ‘Can we restore the precolonial village republics of India as part of a Gandhian project?’ or ‘Should we revive Nehruvian nonalignment to better negotiate the turbulent waters of India’s inter-…

    1. Memory is the process by which we recollect prior experiences and information and skills learned in the past. The three types of memory are episodic, semantic, explicit, and implicit memory. Episodic memory is memory of a specific event. Your memory of facts, words, concepts, and so on- most of what you know is semantic memory. Implicit memories include practiced skills and learned habits. On the other hand, explicit memories are memories of specific information.…

    Once Again is a piece of social criticism against Indian politicians/voters and targeted at the average Indian voter. Its purpose is to inform the audience of the propaganda they are subjected to and confront them with them hatred they hold onto, allowing themselves to be manipulated. Inspired by the belief that “the best books… are those that tell you what you know already,” (1984 pg. 208) my creative take a premise that the audience is semi-aware of; the blatant abuse of religious sentiments in order to generate political support (Natarajan, 2012).…

    onsider the handling of irregularities in spectrum allocation and in coal mining rights. Instead of swiftly ring-fencing problem areas where there are allegations of culpability supported by prima facie evidence, then striving for good policies going forward, the ruling coalition and the Opposition are in a war of attrition. What began with the United Progressive Alliance’s turning a blind eye to the spectrum awards has turned into the Bharatiya Janata Party’s heedless flailing to tear down their opponents. Meanwhile, the confusion created by the pronouncements of the Comptroller and Auditor General and previously of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has vitiated conditions for constructive reform. Any solution that fails a populist screen is likely to be guillotined in the streets. Contention versus co-operation There seems to be quite a contrast between our manifest contentiousness and our apparent friendliness. From our…

    If catchy slogans could win elections, the NDA's "India Shining" refrain should have reaped the BJP-led coalition a whirlwind in the 2004 Lok Sabha polls. It didn't . India Shining was felled by the humble Aam Aadmi and to the BJP's shock, a Congress-led front rode to power that year on a wave of disenchantment with saffron triumphalism. Media generated hyperbole proved to be no match for an old-fashioned ground-level campaign by the other side.…

    Secularism in India

    But the sense of pessimism has been encouraged again and again. Sometimes through the Sikh riots and sometimes through the incidents like Babri Masjid. And horribly enough even with India stepping in the 21st century with a never before economic growth rate elections in India can be easily won by playing the “hindutva” card. Narendra Modi a person who brought so much development to the state of Gujarat was not assured by his hard work but was satisfied with the knowledge of strategic communal politics in order to ensure that he will be called back in the state legislative for the next five years again. In very vivid words it is a matter of shame how the legislature and the politicians have been cheating the common Indian for a prolonged period. Corruption and all other issues are undoubtedly black spots on the nation but compromising with the very principles on which the nation was built is simply unacceptable. More so when the compromise is invited on grounds of humanitarian ethics.…

    An emotional security hypothesis that builds on attachment theory is proposed to account for recent empirical findings on the impact of marital conflict on children and to provide directions for future research. Children's concerns about emotional security play a role in their regulation of emotional arousal and organization and in their motivation to respond in the face of marital conflict. Over time these response processes and internalized representations of parental relations that develop have implications for children's long-term adjustment. Emotional security is seen as a product of past experiences with marital conflict and as a primary influence on future responding. The impact and interaction of other experiential histories within the family that affect children's emotional security are also examined. Conflict and emotional security play a major role in child development psychologically and the purpose of this paper is to address the current issue.An emotional security hypothesis that builds on attachment theory is proposed to account for recent empirical findings on the impact of marital conflict on children and to provide directions for future research.
