Boo Boo Munnabhai

Disclaimer: My first political blog. But very straight from the heart. I do not make any statement specifying who to vote for and who not to vote for. The blog is only my reaction to certain newspaper / news channel reports

Actors are so different in real life than in their reel life. Sanjay Dutt has just proven that.

At a Sabha recently (he is campaigning for a particular party), Sanjay Dutt says, " I was beaten up in the jail because my mother was Muslim!"

I think this is the most hedious statement I've heard in my life!! When will politicians stop spreading hatred? The statement coming from an actor who plays the good Munnabhai only surprises me.

The party that Sanjay Dutt is campaigning for also has some interesting points in its manifesto. One of them touched me completely. The party says it will be putting a BAN on computers in INDIA because they believe in the power of manual labour and want to generate employment.

What kind of a regressive thinking is this? Do we expect India to continue to be the land of the poor and the wretched? Ofcourse, computers are not the only way to achieve an improvement in the economy, but banning computers is utterly Taliban-esque!!!


Boo boo Munnabhai!! A WRONG WRONG MOVE BY YOU (in the speech) and BY YOUR PARTY (in the manifesto!!)!

Munnabhai or Munnibai

"Munnabhai will be our new mascot.", he said.

The decision led to an uproar from various sections of the society.

The otherwise grumpy man then said, "Ok ok.. if not Munnabhai, his wife Munnibai will be our new mascot."

He was the owner of a teddy bear company and were looking for a new mascot.

.. and you thought politics was anything better than a teddy bear company looking for its mascot?!

Murdering talent

Soon in the news, one would see:

  1. Shopkeepers need to sell 25% of their goods to people from certain communities.
  2. In a theater, 36% of the seats for every show will have to be sold to people from certain community. At half the regular price.
  3. People from community X will get 250 gm extra on all the milk products.
Reservation is murdering the talent of the deserving and is injustice to a section of the society.

Reservations in IITs and IIMs and now reservations in the posts of teachers at educational institutions. What more do we expect in the rat race of vote-bank politics?
