Name Game

1.The Quote of the day :

SURNAME HELPS

Looking at the history, what could have been an innocuous christening moment seems to be a calculated move.

Pt. Nehru never claimed himself to be a Hindu, rather he expressed his distaste on being termed so.

He aptly put a R in India, to make a famous name.

Similar calculation appears to have been made when her daughter wanted to marry Feroze Ghandy. Some ruckus  was made and Mahatma Gandhi gave his name including THE surname’s spelling.

Feroze Ghandy’s family still uses the original spelling.

2. The Law of Diminishing Return :

       17 Years – Pandit Nehru ruled the country from 1947 to 1964.

16 Years – Mrs Gandhi ruled the country, first from 1966 to 1977 and then from 1979 to 1984.

5 Years – Rajiv Gandhi ruled the country from 1984 to 1989.

3. The Law of Uncertainty :

19 Years – that is more than the period any Nehru-Gandhi scion had ruled the country - have passed  and the country has for the FIRST TIME -

- seen a Full term Non Dynastic Congress rule in the form of P.V.Narsimha Rao Government.

-         seen a Full term Non- Congress Non Dynastic rule in the form of

Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government.

        - seen the present set up which is ruling the country - despite its inherent lack of cohesiveness - not for any governance but merely for the known fear/agenda of keeping the other group from ruling.

In these years, the surname holders have tried to woo the country without much success.

In these years a whole lot of new age voters have been added who neither know these historical contributions  nor care to know and on the other hand, the old faithfuls have served their visit to this planet.

There were comparisons in the FAITHFUL and COMMITTED newspaper, to show the ineffectiveness of the present scions to convert MOB into votes.

Any more taker for the surname ?
