Taj Mahal -A Parallel to AAP`Original` Modern builders on Democracy?

Rakesh Manchanda for BeyondHeadlines

Aurangzeb wanted a 2nd replica of Taj Mahal.

Bibi-ka-Maqbara was built in 1660 in the memory of his 1st. wife, Dilras Banu Begam.

Aurangzeb copy cat `passion` had resulted in a poor copy of a Taj.

Relationship for a team work in AAP is like Taj. Everybody will wonder how beautiful it is. But nobody can understand how difficult it was to build up brick by brick. Engineers failed to re-build Taj Mahal again as you see because of fault and divisions in the rank and file of the original team.

Lesson to Indians in their daily work is simple-We must never leave a true relation for few faults. Nobody is perfect. No one is 100% correct. Affection of the team for delivery is always greater than the perfection of few.

Mahatma Gandhi legacy and Taj Mahal continue to attract Global Citizens. No tourist visit to India is complete without a glimpse of Taj. Paying homage to the father of the Nation at Rajghat is seen as a must visit for a tourist.

When there is no moral or democratic code of conduct in competition or in an election within a political party then instead of focusing on `Truth` the Jhoot- lies spread. Focus on the individuals as the leaders and not on the process is the collective loss.

Mahatma Gandhi Quote today is bang correct: Nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. Absolute Truth according to Mahatma Gandhi is God’s attribute alone. Relative truth is all we know. Therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. Such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

AAP Political Advisory Committee controversy.

AAP Press note yesterday on PAC-Political Advisory Committee controversy was incomplete and several points stand missing. I am not trying to defend or blame anyone in PAC.

Having worked together in 2005-6 in person, I happen to know Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in the brief past association.

I hardly know Prashant Bhushan and Yogender Yadav and met them F2Fonly 2-3 times.

Yogender Yadav addressed Vishwas Nagar Jan Sabhas in pre- Delhi elections and later predicted 50 seats for AAP Delhi before the results were declared. AAP insiders were laughing on his prediction as many thought 40 seats will be maximum for AAP.

Past and present tears of Yogender Yadav followed by Arvind Kejriwal tears showcased on media channels may not teach followers how to add love or minus hate, but it gives AAP warriors every reason to hope that every problem has a solution provided the communication gap is plugged.

Many such positive evidences about honest AAP leaders are in Public Domain. For details of PAC confusion see my recent article title :

Stop painting AAP Leaders in Helpless Tears

Everyone may not be nice all the time is what we learn in India. There remains something nice in everyone. We must never keep a fixed image(Left or Right) for anyone based on second hand reports. People act differently at different junctures with different people based on experiences.

Swaraj real map is like a difficult Taj Mahal rebuild. To my understanding it means allow others outside Delhi state AAP activists to decide whether they want to fight elections or not like in Delhi. Forced decisions taken from Delhi for outside states shall bounce back sooner or later.

This makes my believe stronger more in relation with a system rather than becoming a person`s satellite.

Inner democracy format without any loss of AAP old human assets in near future is a must. Demand for an inner democracy in AAP forced many to sit on hunger strike in the past.

Why today`s press note released by AAP boys does not cover the future date for inner democracy format say in next 6 months ?

In Indian Political space the trendsetters of Aam Admi Party originals draw similar parallels. Anna Movement protesters claim having been challenged and were forced to join politics. Congress-BJP system as know refused to accommodate the Lok Pal Bill championed by Anna Movement and an infant called AAP was born in the political Jungle.

My African friends often remind me that Indians had send MK Gandhi to us and we gave back a new package called Mahatma.

If it was a train ride in South Africa that created Gandhi, a bus journey shaped another Gandhi known as Martin Luther King Jr. Let us see how this transformation took place ?

As a kid, Martin was travelling on a bus with his teacher when the driver ordered them to get up for the white passengers. Martin decided not to move and give up his seat but his Guru(teacher) pointed out that we must obey the law. So Martin stood in the aisle and travelled standing whole 90 miles to Atlanta. This was the turning point for this Gandhian.

African Gandhi Nelson Mandela served for 27 years in prison and fought for Secularism to end Apartheid. Apartheid like untouchablity in India is a much more dangerous evil then Corruption.

The common link between the African-Indian Gandhi remains that all wanted to bring a change. All were challenged by the rigid old system of Conventional rule and misuse of Gandhi. Package of change makers is never perfect. All including Mahatma Gandhi do not claim 100%.Gandhi`s delivery is infact full of human errors limited and balanced by the circumstances.

Arvind Kejriwal Coordinator of AAP in India correctly puts that communalism as an evil is much more dangerous than Corruption. Several political crusaders with left and right ideology- Maoist and Godse worshippers got accommodated in AAP. Communalism to my understanding is a wholesale corrupt system of a community that favours to give power to a person or a group based on religion and caste. Now it is upto AAP Top leadership to see how to filter the past and ensure the true `Ghar Wapse` of workers for a collective cause in the betterment of India.

I and others may be revolutionaries but we are disciples of Mahatma Gandhi, directly or indirectly, nothing more nothing less – Ho Chi Minh.

Originals in every human build from self to the society remain to be saved and followed. Gandhi-Godse cannot come again. Taj Mahal cannot be built again.
As a common man and as an Indian first, I reserve my right to share future evidences if the AAP boys club fail to get inclusive and unite fast to make this AAP unique experiment stronger.
