50 years of Congress rule - A case of the Blind leading the partially sighted. My reasons for saying that: 1) Congress has gradually "erased" the glue that held India together in the 1940s - mishandled the Muslim League, Kashmir. From 1970s onwards, it has mishandled "secularism" and "reservation" to take off some more of the gule that held India together. 2) has "talked" of many noble things: Five Year plans, "Democratic Socialism", "Garibi Hatao", "Aam Aadhmi", "secularism", "unity in diversity", the "sacred" Constitution of India and so on. To "implement" this talk, what has Congress govt's done in those years?: Created a HUGE Babudom, paid them so low that many started taking another salary "under the table", Created a huge body of laws and rules that even the Babudom did not know how to "implement" them. Ram Manohar Lohia and Jayaprakash Narain of the Praja Socialist party saw through Congress very early: That Congress was not serious about any implementation. Created shameful shortages of everything, even food. Starvation deaths were very common. Congress-influenced media shut out news that was bad for Congress. Even today leading media in India serve the Congress. 2) Every party that came after Congress copied its political strategy for India: a) Keep the Hindu vote divided along caste lines, through "reservations" and b) Keep the Islamic community "conservative", to be willing to listen to Mullahs - that vote bank has to be "intact". Analyse, "secularism".
