JaiRamesh2 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Modi Government on a roll, quarterly annualised GDP growth figure of 5.7% beats even the most optimistic estimates! :nice: And best figure in over two years. September also a big month for government in terms of high level diplomacy and potential big ticket foreign investment. The government has more than exceeded expectations in the first 100 days, whilst moron opposition and media too busy swimming in trivial filth hand in hand.

Sachin=GOD Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 PM’s live Teacher's Day address a must view for all schools All schools across the country have to ensure children watch PM Narendra Modi’s live televised Teachers’ Day address on September 5, a directive from the human resource development ministry has said. Schools will have to arrange for television sets, cable connections, projectors and amplifiers so that students can see both the address and the subsequent question-and-answer session, to be telecast live on Doordarshan between 3pm and 4.45pm. School timings will also have to be tweaked so that children remain in school till the broadcast ends. Most schools start early in the morning and get over by 2pm. Arranging television sets and cable connections in remote areas may also be a challenge. After receiving the order — issued to all state education departments — the Delhi directorate of education (DOE) asked all schools in the city, including private unaided ones, to comply. It instructed all government single-shift schools to hold classes from 1pm to 5.30pm on September 5. Other schools are free to choose their timings. The DoE has also warned schools against any laxity in implementing the orders. http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/allaboutmodisarkar/pm-s-speech-a-must-view-for-all-schools/article1-1258040.aspx WTF Forcing children to listen to The Dear leader's speech. I guess next up would be the number of times each student is expected to clap during the speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FischerTal Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 You really have no problem with kids being forced to watched a speech? No. It's a national day of celebration. Unless speech has political overtones, nothing wrong with praising teachers for their hard work and encouraging students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its absolutely ridiculous that a PM directly reaching out to students is considered "criticism-worthy" - Literally scraping barrel bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotating Potato Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 There's nothing wrong in a speech - what is wrong is forcing people to watch it. Young kids need to be motivated. None better than Modi himself to do that. Imagine if you were a 10 year old and your PM exhorting you to take up the cudgel for your country's future in stead of just passing school, getting a degree and running after a profitable job outside your country. I dunno about you but I'd be pretty motivated. That being said, if his speech contains propaganda material then that'd be highly deplorable. I don't think he'd do that though.

It is a medium for the PM to directly address our future generation. I just cannot understand what is wrong with that. Now if the interaction has political undercurrents I will be the first person to deride it. But knowing Modi, it won't be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachin=GOD Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 PM Modi is not a listener; so be prepared for it Mark Tully August 30, 2014 Prime Minister Narendra Modi has come to remind me of an old-fashioned headmaster. He reportedly treats his ministers as schoolchildren, telling them what to wear, who to meet, and what to say. Modi is apparently relying on his bureaucrats to keep him informed about events and advising him. But his office is vetting ministers' private secretaries and barring any who are felt to have been particularly close to the UPA government. From there it's only a short step to bureaucrats feeling that the prime minister wants a civil service committed to him. Committed civil servants tend to tell their political masters what they want to hear, not what is actually happening, unless it's good news. So Modi is in danger of getting distorted information from the source he relies on most. The party should also be a key source of information for any prime minister. After Indira Gandhi's defeat in 1977 the Congress president, Dev Kant Barooah, famous for saying "India is Indira and Indira is India", told me the party members were so overawed by her and, even more so by Sanjay Gandhi, that the information they passed on was all doctored and presented a wholly unrealistic scenario. That he believed was one of the prime reasons for all that went wrong. Modi has entrusted the party to someone known as one of his closest colleagues, Amit Shah. Is there not a danger that Shah's dominance will block the BJP's channels of information? Then there is the media, a source of information Indira Gandhi thought she could do without. She went so far as to tell the director general of All India Radio during the Emergency not to bother about credibility. But Indira Gandhi discovered to her cost that rumour-mongers flourished when there was no credible media. She once told a director general of the BBC, "I never lost the affection of the people, they were only mislead by rumours." Today the prime minister believes that the media should merely report what the government says and not question it. So he, his officials and his ministers communicate with the media through Twitter. This robs journalists of the opportunity to probe the information they receive more deeply and so their reporting is not as informative as it could be. More importantly, journalists' questions reflect the concerns the public might have about government policies and therefore Twitter will make another vital source of information less reliable. The judiciary is a vital guardian of the people's rights, preventing overweening governments from trampling on them. That was why it was decided the government should have no role in selecting them. They should be selected by their fellow judges. But now that the government has re-entered the process, is there not a danger that judges or lawyers who the law minister thinks are too independent-minded will not be appointed? Lastly Modi doesn't seem concerned about listening to the voice of experience. There is a widespread feeling within the Congress that Rahul Gandhi depends too much on inexperienced advisors with fancy foreign degrees. Modi has not surrounded himself with young inexperienced advisors but he hasn't shown much respect for experience. He is without most of the top leadership of the previous NDA, and the prime minister himself has never been involved in government at the national level. So the first 100 days of the Modi raj indicate that India doesn't have a listening prime minister. It is therefore possible, I believe, that he will become isolated from reality. That Modi is not a listener was confirmed early in his government when he posted a statement on his personal website abruptly telling those who were not used to the change he intended to introduce "to get used to this for the coming years". http://www.hindustantimes.com/comment/analysis/not-listening-to-experienced-voices-can-isolate-modi-from-reality/article1-1258325.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
