King Khan at helm in Pakistan


"When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity." - Napoleon Bonaparte

The quality of political leadership in a country has both long & short term influence on its economy politics and culture. You could conclude that the quality or the lack of it determines the very survival of a country. Therefore citizens in a democracy must vote very consciously on merit alone than any other consideration of religious beliefs, cultural identity without personal or social bias. The difference between developed and under developed countries could be attributed to many factors including the nature & quality of the local culture/s followed by the majority population. Social scientists and sociologist agree on the positive impact of great leadership on team performance.

A poor leader without verifiable competence and sans an inspiring track record may end up damaging the team prospects & its future productivity also. People tend to emulate the feat of their achievers who lead them to victory in sports, literature, economy or politics. Between India & Pakistan which country has better quality PM? Who among the two has better achievements in education, sports, career and life? Management or administration is a craft that requires leadership qualities which can't be imbibed through hard work and superior intellect. David Ogilvy warned his colleagues to differentiate between pygmies and giants and depend upon on giants alone for success. India clocked stellar economic performance under Dr Manmohan Singh who became PM after a great educational attainments and a scintillating career full of inspiring achievements. 

Can you point out what Narendra Modi achieved in education & professional front? Modi was not even a MLA before LK Advani appointed him CM of Gujarat. The RSS don't claim to be a university where its missionaries learn & teach the craft of designing excellence in any field. Numerous vociferous RSS guys are seen pontificating in mainstream media that they want to turn India into a Hindu Rashtar that lives only on ancient Hindu superstitions and rituals. Funny that 'Good Day' is a biscuit brand from Britannia India  not by Modi's favourite enlightened yoga exponent Ramdev. 

Despite his expensive publicity blitzkrieg Modi failed to strengthen the Brand India in global market. Has Narender succeeded in keeping the economy on track or failed to match the performance of his illustrious predecessor Dr Manmohan Singh? Nobel laureate Dr Amritya Sen has recently remarked that Narender pushed the Indian economy into wrong direction. If you wonder why current PM failed to perform then look at his educational and work record. Why Modi didn't achieve success in education, career and social life before he was made the CM of Gujarat by his political mentor? 

Unlike Dr Manmohan Singh the current PM was lucky to be born in independent India and that too in its richest & most successful state? On the other hand Dr Manmohan Singh excelled in education & career despite pains of the partition of India. Imran Khan too achieved world class success as a sportsman winning the cup for Pakistan. Successful people inspire billion others to work hard and achieve success in their chosen field. Only success offers assurance of survival and growth, failures only leave behind bitter lessons. 

The Hindus were always in majority in Indian subcontinent & have substantial achievements much before RSS came on the scene and took upon itself that task of saving Hinduism in India. Unfortunately Narender Modi wasted his youth in RSS camps whiling away precious time doing nothing. How can a man who failed to get a regular job in his youth understand the employment situation in India and provide jobs to fresh graduates? Didn’t Dr Manmohan Singh do first class jobs throughout contributing to economy of India? Dr Singh got the jobs of Finance Minister and the decade long stint as the PM purely on personal competence and merit? There are many CMs in various states of India who neither studied nor worked hard in their youth. Can such guys lead the society towards a better future? RSS Hindus can learn from Pakistan where no religious extremists have won in elections this time also. Why should Hindus elect those people who are accused of spreading Hindu extremism in India? Its disgusting to see that in the post industrial modernist world the Hindus of India continue to promote dubious characters by electing them into power.

Political leaders like Imran Khan have the potential to inspire a whole generation to emulate him and create excellence. Imran has earned a name for himself with his stellar contribution to cricket winning the world cup for Pakistan. He married a jew lady which confirms his secular credentials. Narendra Modi never worked on any job before becoming CM and has no record of achieving any success in any field whatsoever prior to getting the chair of Gujarat CM. Modi earned his Hindu Rashtar Hero image post 2002 Godhra riots which gets him Hindu votes since then. 

Victory of Imran Khan in 2018 Pakistan elections would certainly help the people of Pakistan aspire for a better life and greater future. A country can lose a lot and struggle to survive if the people at the helm have no winning track record. Pakistan is lucky to have Imran Khan in the driver’s seat to lead it to greener pastures.
