India has had a Prime Minister from 2004, who does not appear in the media.
This is an unusual situation in a parliamentary democracy. The consequence is that the people do not know what kind of a person rules them.
Dr. Singh was never a politician; he was a bureaucrat that obeyed his employers. He did what he had to do for his Boss in silence.
He continues to be a bureaucrat and continues silent obedience. He gets things done for his Boss.
As in the past when he had been with the World Bank, he still has a White Boss.

somebody do share my thoughts..
ReplyDeleteMany do, actually. What do you think of the latest joke of austere living, Economy class travel etc? Sasi Taroor is already in trouble after calling the Austere-s Holy Cows.
ReplyDeleteHe should have had enough sense to know that Indian politicians do not know much English; and that the Cow is something that their elders touch on the posterior and worship.
aren't you being a little too harsh? do u want a PM who utters inanities?
ReplyDelete@PJ:
ReplyDeleteNo, no.
His only utterances have been 'It is a national shame" about almost anything.
And seeing him on TV is no pleasing sight, anyway. One prefers Sonia or Sasi Tharoor.
