"Its not that a silent lamb can't speak, rather it shouldn't speak."
Days before when our prime minister rose to rostrum to mention his connect to "aam aadmi" , for people of my age group it was an event of historical mention.It was like a serendipitous discovery of an extinct specie .It was like a silent lamb breaking the silence of valley.It was like a professor with an explanation ,unnoticed since years.Moreover It was some thing different from the monotonic podium generally marked by Indigenous saree covering Italian flesh.
1.Speech with a difference:Speech was loyal,written in plain text layman's language ,tainted with political protectionism and talking about slashing of economic protectionism in retail sector.It was not like the budget speech by the finance minister (1991).
It was like an appeal lined with leniency ,a promise questionable.
"My dear brothers and sisters,
The UPA government is a government of aam aadmi."
In the same context ,the 1991 speech(some times considered as the most knocking speech after tryst with destiny) was a masterpiece ,a mark of independently worked script.
"Sir, I do not minimise the difficulties...... But as Victor Hugo once said, “no
power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.” ......... Let the whole world hear it loud and clear. India is now wide awake. We shall prevail. We shall overcome."
2.Diesel dictum:As the prime minister continues "we raised the price of diesel by just Rs 5 per litre instead of Rs 17 that was needed.....much of the diesel is used by big cars and SUVs....should the government run large fiscal deficit to subsidise them?
Considering self sufficiency in agriculture the most of the diesel is used in tractors and pumping machineries .A price hike in Diesel strikes those aam aadmi who are the major owners of tractors will distribute this hike on their customer (aamer aadmi :the lower middle class farmer).Considering 72% Indian population in 638000 villages this Diesel dictum is going to be a big deal, an albatross around their neck for the aam ,aamer ,aamest aadmi of the country.A country like India can never rely and be represented by scooter and motorcycle driving ,office going tie holders.
As the prime minister said "we reduced taxes on petrol by Rs 5 per liter.....so that middle class who drive scooters and motorcycles are not hit..."
3.FDI and gas subsidies I believe should be considered as an inevitable step.When an economy like India is under the scan of survive or perish , a step of this sort ,may be risky and edgy in some senses ,yet they are required.Instead of criticism I believe we should cooperate,Instead of clamour we should debate and discuss,Instead of gherao we should learn to march in cooperation with the rest of the world.
Hope for the best.Lets ring the bell.Remember the goldman sachs' prophecy that India is to be the third largest economy by 2035 just after USA and China .
If winter is there can spring be far away................

On a softer note:
Last year on 27th July 2011 our the then finance minister Mr.Manmohan Singh's LPG model celebrated its 20th birthday.LPG model was ,is and will continue.What matters the most is its stand for_____________.
Pro 1991 it was License Permit Government Raj,
post 1992 it was Liberalization Privatization and Globalization,
and 20 yrs on it is Loot Plunder Goonda Raj.
Hope this redemption let Mr. prime minister to bury all clamours, to bury all coalgates,to bury all defamation to the past and unsung memories.
