Delhi needs the old Arvind Kejriwal back


Ever felt like something is missing in Arvind Kejriwal the Chief Minister of Delhi? Well he certainly seems to look so. The hunger and the thirst to serve for the common people's cause and uproot corruptions were his key agendas before he enter into the array of politics. The sheer determination and do or die attitude seem to have withered like a flower.

Born on 16th August, 1968 no one would have expected this man to lead Delhi with such strong majority. He is the seventh current chief minister of Delhi after they won the election with a resounding victory by defying all odds.

In 2012, he launched the Aam Aadma Party and defeated Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in the 2013 Delhi Assembly Election. His enthusiasm and passion to fight for the common was just breath-taking. In fact it was Arvind Kejriwal who somehow made me take some interest in politics. I started following his press conferences as he kicked of his campaign pointing out the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders notably Nitin Gadkari. Everything was on the right track.

His resignation from the post of the Chief Minister came as a huge shock for me. Well it turns out he was aiming for a bigger fish - the Lo Sabha election which turned out to be a disaster for them.

Then came his U-turn as people often termed it. He re-united his party and bang - got 67 seats knocking out Kiran Bedi and his party in Delhi. All the tall promises made by Arvind Kejriwal and his party seem to be forgotten. Free WiFi, implementations of new schools and colleges are not fulfilled till now. In fact Delhi the capital of India seems to be rotting and becoming a laughing stock to the other countries. Pile of garbages everywhere. Who is responsible? Well everyone who is responsible.

Delhi needs the old Arvind Kejriwal back to save the capital of India. He is much better than this and people want to see his old self. If his policy of blame-game continues and fails to fulfill the promises he made before the election, I'm not sure for how long he will last as a reputed and respected politician.

Of course its all down to the people. Anyone can vote for anybody and Arvind Kejriwal can mislead people on many occasions. But i'm not sure for how long he can mislead the people. Kejriwal is an admirable man. I like him for his qualities and his desire to fight for the common people.

It will be great to see the old enthusiastic and passionate Arvind Kejriwal. People like him without a doubt. He has been a revelation for thousands of people. But it is worth pointing out that he has changed drastically. If he continues like this, I feel that he will be the author of his own downfall.

Gender Roles: Redefining Gender Stereotypes

Image
What are gender roles? Gender roles are a preconceived set of ideas whereby men and women are arbitrarily assigned certain roles determined by their gender. It causes unequal and unfair treatment in most cases because of a person’s gender. Although massive progress has been made towards gender equality, women are still held back because of their gender. Gender relations remain unbalanced to a great extent. Women are still held back in many areas— limiting their education no matter how promising they may be, hindering their freedom and barring their civil rights. Gender stereotypes dictate that women need to learn certain things starting from learning how to cook, to cleaning the house and keeping the house clean.             So how do we unleash the full potential of women? In order to ensure gender equality, we need to ponder seriously as to why women are discriminated in the first place. The issue which really needs add...

Faux Feminism

Image
Feminism is the belief and aim that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men. Feminism at its commencement by popular definition was to acquire the right to vote for women. But although suffrage could be rightly termed as the focal point which ignited feminism, the word has evolved to embrace multifarious beliefs deemed favourable for the overall elevation of women. Feminism is about gender equality, and not gender sameness. Men and women need to have equal rights and privileges. Having said that, men and women are different, and have contradistinctive qualities and attributes, and that’s something which we should revere and hold in respect. If we reminisce about the wave of feminist movements in the past, the purpose was to get equal status as men which include the right to vote vis-à-vis the role of women in society. It also gave emphasis on the issues of gender and race inequality, and the campaign for women’s rights and interests. Mary Wollston...
