THE BEST INDIAN PRIME MINISTER-III
No one else become a PM and connected with the people, the party, the opposition and the world,
like Atal Behari Vajpayee did. He earned the respect of his partymen, the general, world leaders,
even opposition in the same breath and same Godlike reverence. He made INDIA important in the
world, Clinton had to come and embrace INDIA, and realise his mistake of undervaluing the largest
democrcy in the world.
While the jury still out on the topic who's the best PM yet, a point is often overlooked: INDIA is too
big of a country in the geographical context and probably the biggest in the diversity of culture, ethnicity,
language, population and issues as well as problems related to development and governance.
No king can be greater than Akbar and Ashok, or Shah Jehan and Chandra Gupt. Bibmbisar,
Harsh Vardahan, Prithvi Raj Chouhan, many many glorious names come in mind.
But to rule the 21st century 120 crore strong INDIA was really tedious. So Vajpayee was no different.
INDIA is a country where problems grow triple the rate you solve them. So the India of Atalji was not
the ideal one, but she was definitely better then ever. His Bus-Yatra to Pakistan, his Golden-Quadrangle
Project, his Neuclear ordeal, his Single-Vote defeat in Lok Sabha, his re-emergence in the subsequent massive
electoral victory and his Ultra Super Image against contemporary opposition leader's Mega Nano Dwarf Image
all the time are some memorable timelines that rewrites his stature larger than life. His personal Charishma alone
was larger than his party. He somewhat stands like a Heroic figure who is known for his galore and sacrifices and
not his personal achievements like Sachin's 100th ton which has become more important than Team India' victory;
and not for his tyranny like Narendra Modi's or like Nehru-Gandhi [family] Dynasty's whose interests weigh larger
than the interests of party or people. Besides, whether successful or not successful, Vajpayeeji will be remembered
as a person who really thought for the people and the country. At least, we, the people, remember the Vajpayee era
when we were not being convicted/sacrificed for the interests of the government, especially a family. And there was
always a hope. A strong INDIA, under an honest but boldest Prime Minister, on the way of winning the world, inevitably,
eventually...
