Where is India's Obama ?

Everybody is angry, this is not the first time we are hurt, we always talk of the spirit of Mumbai and our country whenever we are hurt by these so called terrorist attacks. But this is the first time that media has started various campaign and received overwhelming response. We do not know where is the problem ? do we really know ? We blame politicians, police, administration as well as media for the happenings, but we never ask ourself what we can do. Do we ?
This is the time to ask ourself and I hope we will start finding answers instead of asking those worthless politicians and waiting for answers.
Yes, we can change India in the next Lok Sabha elections.
I have posted this piece at http://emergic.org/2008/11/12/who-will-be-indias-obama/#more-10567 on 17th November 2008, which is after Obama's election as US President and much before the Mumbai attacks.

We can get India’s Obama in the next lok sabha election. Weired it seems ?? Nope…I am not kidding.Our media TV/Newspaper/Internet/mobile/say to a women/all are collectively more powerful than U.S. media. Only thing we need to have is a simple marketing strategy just like when we launch new products etc. Corporates do it more nicely..an example, few years back Reliance mobile was introduced and now it is among top operator in Indian telecom, there are soo many success stories every corner. All this means we are not short in resources but short in vision. We need to elect all lok sabha candidate with qualifying criteria minimum MBA ( since they will run the country’s business as MBA’s run corporate world ). Presently, any candidate having muscle power and/or political affiliation can get tickets from all political parties. We need to create an environment where all political parties are forced to float MBA’s.To start with:Float a political outfit focussing on development and corruption as the main thing. (no jaat paat).We need to run a campaign and call intellectuals to come together and form a forum to design a similar system for selecting candidate just like Obama’s party did in selecting him as presedential candidate. Here, we can have competent, capable, screened, candidates on merit basis in all constituencies.Once selected, we can run election campaign (use all media available) focusing the core issues of development & corruption.Present a development programme and zero corruption roadmap to the people.(For example: we can abolish Income Tax completely……,yes its possible and i can explain how ! many economies do not have it.)Let us privatise all business including railways and education.We have seen the fruits of privatisation…..telecom, automobile to name a few..as we all know Governments can only be a regulator and cannot run business.We can have this based on the data on income and expenditure of government.Launch campaign for all Obamas of India and I am sure we can change everything downside up right. Thanks.

This is the right time to start, let us start the campaign.... Please post your opinions now.
