BJP came with new decision of not
allowing people aged more than 75 years. This canceled out many
veteran politicians from the platform of politics in India. In this
post, I want to chat on viability of this decision and its effects on
our politics. Here we shall see two ways of learning things from
life. In one way, person learns during his life and that is called
learning by experience. In second method, one learns taking coaching
from some training place, by reading books, by taking tips from
teachers and that way he gets theoretical information of many things.
However, in this method what he gets is only information of things
and not experience of those things. Important difference in these two
methods is vital for us to understand. Person can acquire much
information by second method in a very short time. We know of courses
in educational institutes where young people are trained. A complete
novice becomes expert in that subject in a very short time. What they
acquire is information on the concerned subject devoid of any
experience. We consider these young people as qualified to take up
work and often they get jobs in that vocation. However, we come to
know that they are not trained enough in that career. They frequently
fail in delivering results. We always see advertisements in
newspapers requesting for experience of 3 years, 5 years and so on.
This indicates that mere information is not enough to make a person
competent in any profession. Political career is no exception to this
rule.
In first method, that is not the
problem. A person having spent much time in a profession but without
any theoretical information can deliver better than the one who has
enough information of the theory but no experience. Therefore, in any
business all prefer experienced people over trained but with no
experience.
When we compare work of these two
types of people, we clearly see that trained person works more based
on, his imagination causing failures whereas, experienced one has
experience to guide him and so his work is perfect and failures are
not encountered. Here we see that work based on imagination based on
information and that on experience make a big difference.
Modi wants to hire services of
inexperienced workers and does not want experienced ones to do the
work of development. Why he took this decision, I wanted to find out.
There are quite a few possibilities those made him take to this
decision. One possibility is that an experienced person generally
does not accept interference in his work by any body, not even his
superiors. His confidence rules out other advisers from his work.
This is not the case with inexperienced workers. They actually want
somebody to interfere and help him do his work. They are easy to
manage. I feel this possibility is behind Modi's strategy of removing
all experienced persons from his team and keep only half-baked (raw)
ones so that he can manage with them properly. There are advantages
of this policy and there are disadvantages. Advantage is he shall
have no resistance from his team and disadvantage is he may become a
failure if he does not get work properly from them due to their being
inexperienced. Having experienced team reduces workload for him and
the work can develop much easily. Disadvantage of having experienced
people is very bad; he will get resistance from them as their
experience conflicts with that of Modi. It appears from the way Modi
is planning his tenure that he prefers increased workload to
resistance. This is also the sign of a making of a dictator. All
dictators have similar policy with their aids. Gandhiji had many
well-experienced followers but he did not rule them out. He allowed
them to function in the way they wished; this is sign that Gandhiji
did not want to be a dictator.
There are other things in it. Very
often experienced people are senior to the boss, here Modi. Their
being senior influences their behavior and at times, they become less
responsive to the boss. This makes working of a dictator difficult.
They begin to undermine boss, which a person like Modi who wants to
become a dictator, cannot tolerate. This is probably the reason why
Modi took this decision. To avoid differences of opinion while
working is the matter that concerns them. Over confidence in Modi is
all responsible for this decision. I am afraid, if Modi fails in his
task the country may suffer immensely. Modi feels that he has five
years to do what he feels to do. Moreover, that has made him
arrogant. This is not a good development. We should not allow anybody
become a dictator in India, if that happens it will destroy our
democracy. His repeated talk of calling him kamdar, servant and such
terms is not a good sign. Something in his mind makes him say all
these terms to hide his real intentions. If he is allowed to become a
dictator, that will make him a monster next. Our hard-earned
democracy will be lost and we may have to begin freedom struggle
again.
Recent election in Maharashtra
revealed example of how an inexperienced person given authority to
take vital decisions can somersault. Shiv Sena appointed son of
Uddhaw Thakeray to take decision about alliance with BJP. He insisted
to have certain number of seats and that broke the alliance. What
caused this to Shiv Sena is more than losing seats in assembly. BJP
realized that they could contest on their own! If alliance had
continued BJP would never have come to know this; keeping Shiv Sena
in power over BJP. Cat in the manger is now out! It appears that
henceforth, Shiv Sena will be operated my children of leaders. If
Modi takes a cue from this, he would understand that total removal of
elders is not a wise decision. Elders do have their misgivings and
prejudices, bigotry, intolerance or injustice but they can be sorted
out amicably. For example, Murli Manohar Joshi has typical Brahmanic
arrogance due to his superiority complex, which is not good for
healthy development of BJP cadres. Although they are difficult, they
can be managed skillfully.
This is why one should not allow
inexperienced people to be in vital positions. They have to spend
time learning under some senior and first acquire sufficient
experience and not work based on their imaginations or raw
visualizations. Modi is going to learn some hard lessons in due
course for being over confident; he had acquired by his success in
Gujarat. In the process our poor country is going to suffer, that
bothers me.
Some expect that raw inexperienced
candidate will be educated by experienced bureaucrats; but that may
be detrimental to the purpose of BJP future. This I say because most
people in our bureaucrats are pro congress! Moreover, our
bureaucrats, themselves, are not competent to understand problems of
our country.
