PM Modi from talking business to talking about rape: This is how Country Changed.

In 2015 when PM Modi had his first visit in the UK since he was banned for Gujrat riots, he attracted 60,000 people in Wembley Stadium where he met ex- UK Prime Minister David Cameron. He talked about the British Indian diaspora visa problems, the decrease in the number of Indian students, business trade, work permits, diplomacy and how he has taken care and is taking care of the responsibility of the largest democratic country in the world. Modi received an overwhelming welcome in the English country with lots of British Indian chanting the famous “Modi Modi” Slogan. 
Let’s look at few things which changed in these 30 months when Indian Prime Minister again visited the United Kingdom. Those ‘Modi Modi’ chants changed to Silent protest through banners for the increasing number of sexual abuse in India and demanding justice for Aasifa in Kathua rape case. From Modi talking about diplomacy and visa issues in 2015 to talking about Rape case politicizing in recent submit in London something has changed.
Just imagine those British and British Indian people hearing about the rape case from a prime minister in a foreign land, how much it would have affected the image of India. This is not the image we India want to create in other countries. There were several foreign media who would have covered the summit and made a headline on PM of India talking about the rape of a minor Child in “Bharat ki Baat Sabke Sath” program held at Westminster’s Central Hall in London. Just imagine about all those people who know less about India, who were excited to see the dynamic Prime Minister in UK would have heard or read about the rape. Imagine the image which People who were new to knowing India would have created.
However, Prime Minister of both the countries Theresa May and Narendra Modi did talk about the work-permits, visa related issues, movement of Indian professionals in UK, Indian Students in England, diplomacy, trade, and politics but the highlight was Modi taking on opposite party for not making rape of a minor a political issue.

If this is how we want to show our country to the world I am not taking a part in it. I would rather identify myself a visitor than a resident of the country. This is really shameful for all the people who call themselves a proud Indian. This can only change if we initiate it. I have written a whole article in the previous blog on how we could change things.

Democracy allows protest, not violence and death with it.

We have seen many popular protests in India. Some were democratic and some were non-violent and undemocratic. Famous Anna Hazare’s agitation for Lokpal Bill in country’s Capital was non-violent and very cooperative. Jat Agitation in country was violent and the government lost crores. And then there were people who went mad over arresting of Ram Rahim Baba. Here also we lost capitals. Before few days farmers were protesting in Maharashtra which was very silent and non-violent. Protests and agitations makes democracy beautiful but on the name of them if you are involved in killing of people how could you justify it. Great Mahatma Gandhi had many shades, his best one was non-violence. However, some people think that there were instances where he should have gone against it. The country lost millions of Capital with the Bharat Bandh today when people were on road protesting against the decision of supreme court in making changes in SC\ST act. Disagreeing with the decision and marchi...

Chapter-5, A story of “HE” and “SHE” and how dream made him do things.

…after that they have only seen each other on Instagram or Facebook.   (continued from chapter 4) After few months they stopped talking to each other on WhatsApp. It felt like the end of his one-sided short love. Next morning “HE” woke up with a dream in which they were fighting against all the odds for their love. The guy took some inspiration from the dream and didn’t want to let his love down. His love wasn’t mutual so he had very little chance of succeeding in it.  He thought, he better tells his feelings to her before it gets too late otherwise he would regret it his whole life. He was very sure this time unlike other times that he would tell her about his love. The guy was playing his last card to make her own, but God had written some other fate for both. “HE” finally wrote a proposal and thought twice before sending it to her. I would have loved to quote his proposal but that will be breaching the privacy line. The proposal was precise and had a lot of inf...

Chapter 2, We played Cricket on mountains

In chapter 1, I opened about how I got into this mass communication. In this chapter I will tell you about the experiences of field. When I was done with graduation, I was looking for a job. Even though I wanted it to be related to journalism but I didn’t get one. There were people back from hometown telling me to find one and utilise my time.   My brother had a friend, who got me hooked with my first job as a content writer which didn’t last more than 20 days. Neither I enjoyed working there nor they paid enough for me to stay. Once, when I was working there I got a call from someone whom I knew from my previous internship asking me to work for a   web portal in Himachal Pradesh. I was more than happy to take that offer into consideration and after talking to my parents I finally decided to take that. That’s how I reached Himachal Pradesh probably one of the beautiful places I have ever been and found myself a dream job. It was really awesome roaming between mountain...
