Now I am a person of limited knowledge when it comes to politics and few other dozen topics. But with the overflow of information in the Bansal household, thanks to the biggest Modi fan I know was enough to teach me a bit. Now Mohit Bansal who was on a self-granted 3 month leave from everything that involved the house so he could campaign for Modi on social media has agreed to return from the exile and impose himself to the family again. Even Modiji has acknowledged the sacrifice that I have given for these 3 months in giving him my husband through the letter enclosed here. Anyhow, I have understood the meanings of certain words in these past few months thanks to the atmosphere in the country and everywhere around me.
Campaign-
What it meant for me- Till 2 months back, I only knew of Social Media campaigns which onlinepokernews.in ran for its readers. Now I know otherwise.
Right Wing/Left Wing-
What it meant for me- Some sort of political parties with some sort of views.
Pseudo Secular-
What it meant for me- Word No 1 prevalent in every article in every newspaper. I have no clue what it meant as a phrase. The husband used it multiple times every day for the past 3 months. I don't have an opinion on whether being secular is a good thing or no.
Minority Appeasement-
What it meant for me- Word No 2 prevalent in every article in every newspaper. Now I knew what the two words know separately. Keeping the minorities happy. Why that is a controversial one, I don't know. Clueless and don't plan to understand. It sounds like one of those 'divide and rules' sort of words.
Communal Riots-
What it meant for me- Word No 3 used in every article in every newspaper. This is one word every Indian is used to reading and so hates. I learnt the true meaning of this word in the context of the Indian Electorate(another word I learnt) through the past months.
Gujarat Model-
What it meant for me- Word No 4 used in every article in every newspaper. This word was something I understood when I visited Ahmadabad in Dec 2013. Only a visit to one of the developed cities of Gujarat can explain this 'Gujarat Model'.
Hindu-Nationalist-
What it meant for me- Word No 5 used in every article in every newspaper. Clueless and don't plan to understand. It sounds like one of those 'divide and rules' sort of words.
Governance-
What it meant for me- The rule that India was subjected to these past 67 years was some form of governance. What is the good side of governance is about to begin NOW. Knock Wood.
AAPtard-
What it meant for me- For a long time, I thought it was a non-abusive word coined for everyone who followed AAP blindly. I only realised the connection with the word B@$^@%D a month back. Call me stupid or plain gullible.
Bhakt
What it meant for me- People who visited temples regularly and believed in the God All mighty. But these are supposed to be another category of Bhakts who opine, debate and support BJP(read Modi) to any extent.
Dynasty Politics-
What it meant for me- The only Dynasty whose rulers I could remember by heart till a few months back was the Mughal Dynasty. But now I also know another Dynasty in India. Are they done and dusted? Only time will tell.
My political vocabulary repertoire is still very limited and I do not wish it increases too much if the colors are in black above are the ones which will be added. Happy to add the colorful red color words and hopefully Modi will bring about this brightness in our lives. The grey colored words are the ones that the country can get rid of immediately.
Take a Bow! Awaiting Good, better and bestest Times! We rest our faith in Modi, lets hope and pray he delivers!
