Will a Woman
become the strongest person in the World?
Democratic
nominee Hillary Clinton has a comfortable lead in the polls. The campaign of
Republican nominee Donald Trump had been dealt with multiple blows stemming
from the “Access Hollywood” tapes. Ms. Clinton
still enjoys an overwhelming statistical probability of winning the 270
electoral college votes required to secure the presidency. She maintained a
statesmanlike poise throughout the presidential debates, and in Email-gate the
FBI has failed to unearth any evidence of criminality against her so far. Thus more than 21 months of feverish campaigning have ended.
During the past
elections in US the following things had come to light: (1) intimidation of
vulnerable sections of society such as citizens of African, Latino origin,
often depriving them of their right to vote on the basis of flimsy,
manufactured pretexts. (2) Except Maine and Vermont, all U.S. states prohibit
felons from voting while in prison (3) Requiring eligible citizens to register
to vote. Thus US pontificates from every pulpit and platform on the virtues of
democracy, freedom and capitalism; and warns the rest of the world to adopt
democratic norms.
Government of
India should learn a lesson from above. The disparity between rich and poor is
MORE staggering in India than in the West, and it is growing at a faster rate.
And ‘robots’ will replace manufacturing jobs, just as they are doing in the
West. India needs to revamp its engineering courses (it matters less now as most
do admin jobs afterwards, not engineering), as well as ‘skill’ its workforce
for this new manufacturing environment of robots (when India has not fully
experienced the world of ‘mechanisation’). Also, Artificial Intelligence in
medicine (e.g. IBM Watson Analytics) could help solve huge shortage of medical
professionals.
Politics is
same whether it is in India or elsewhere in the world. The main aim for
politics is to get Power. Whoevers win in America, their status will rise and
he or she will obtain enormous power and try to crush other opponent, same
theory as adopted by our politicians. In India’s recent surgical strike, some
opposition try to prove it false, some try to raise question on the encounter
of SIMI terrorists just for vote bank, some even don't know the issue and what
is going on but want to say something and show his or her presence in public by
spitting anything. Scams are the main issues, corruption are their common goal
and raising salary without any consent of public who feed taxes are their
hidden agenda for passing bills in parliamentary session.
America is a
great nation with a democratic society and civil liberties and hence it is
hoped that a righteous and honest community server will be elected to look
after the American people. The American President election is a step by step
move right from selecting the candidate till the counting of votes and
announcing the result. Face to face criticism, digging personal secrets of the
candidate, mudslinging - all lead to a nasty campaign. A country which takes
global lead for opulence and 'monitor attitude' towards other countries polity
has election system where candidate's personal records are analysed at the core
level. But in India the image of the party dominates and very few candidates are
selected for their image in a big democracy.
However, Hillary
should move forward bravely although there are many hurdles and stumbling
blocks on the way. The question everybody asks is ‘Will a Woman become the
strongest person in the World?’
