Indian Congress: Then and Now

Congress, the grand old party of India, holds the distinction of being the largest and the one which helped in channelizing the efforts of our freedom fighters to win freedom for India. Though there is contrasting school of thought which states that WW –II along with several other factors, not the congress,  won freedom for India.  A lot of facts can be produced in against as well as in favour of this argument however focus of this topic is not to analyze the factors behind the Indian independence but  on the positive and negative contributions of congress to our nation.

There was time when congress was studded with the galaxy of leaders which includes the stalwarts like Gandhi, Nehru, Bose, Tilak, Patel and several other leaders who because of their sheer determination and indomitable courage put forward an example of extreme patriotism which in modern time is almost impossible to emulate. Though a lot of arguments can be put forward against Gandhi and Nehru however it should be kept in mind that nobody is perfect and they all were human being. Moreover the contribution of Gandhi is not confined to freedom struggle alone rather he gave us a legacy and principles, which if followed, can lead us to  become a great human being in general and a greater nation in particular.

However the congress during pre 1947 was not free of error it had committed some blunders which we still find difficult to undo its effect.  Acceptance of separate electorate for Muslims during the Lucknow Pact, preference of  Nehru over Bose and Patel by Gandhi, use of religious symbols by Gandhi,  inability to foster the trust of Muslims etc are few instances which can be cited to support  what blunders congress had made in the pre independence  period . However, inspite of all such blunders, Congress, at least till the death of Nehru, was one of the most progressive and popular  political organization in India.

Nehru was one of the best PM India has ever had. His Foreign policies, his attitude towards imperialism, colonialism and cold war had earned a lot of accolades for him. His attitude towards industrialization, though was against to Gandhian principle, was also welcomed. However his hunger of earning the stature of a global leader was robbed by china in 1962 war in which India suffered a historic shameful defeat by the hand of China. Nehru’s attitude towards china was though friendly but very ambiguous. At one place he gave the slogan of hindi- chini bhai bhai (India and china is brother) and at another place he welcomed the refugees from Tibet in India. Becoming of Indira Gandhi a congress president even during the period of Nehru had given the glimpse of future of dynastic politics in Congress.

After the sad demise of Shashtri, Indira Gandhi became the first and last woman PM of India. With her began the era of political dictatorship, dynastic politics not only in Congress but in India also.  She fought war of 1971 which helped in bifurcating the Pakistan and thus a rivalry with Pakistan became more intense. Can anybody explain why a country would not spread terrorism and would not produce a breed of people who would hate a country which helped in dividing that very nation? If china would have helped in dividing the northeast from India what could have India done? However  coming to Indira Gandhi  again, She also holds the distinction for imposing the emergency, placing puppets as CMs, imposing president rule for more than 50 times(unimaginable!!!) etc.  Nobody had harmed Indian political and democratic system more than what she had done. To sum up, she worked like an autocratic queen rather than a democratically elected PM.

Her death has given the way for Rajiv to become her successor in the same way the Mughals, Guptas, Mauryas and likes used to find their successors.  Though Rajiv was soft spoken but his alleged role in Bofors and anti Sikhs riots (1984) contributed towards his crushing defeat in next general  election.

PVNR was the best PM after Nehru as he initiated several policies which have changed the very face of India which includes opening of economy, look east policy, beginning of indo-Israel relations and several such other progressive policies. But pseudo democratic Congressmen and the army of sycophants   were unable to find the merits of PVNR over Indira and Rajiv.

Entry of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi was another instance which justified that congress was never interested in country’s development and always endorsed the person from Nehru-Gandhi family and is working more as a company rather than a political organization. See the courage of Sonia Gandhi that she started dreaming of becoming the PM of India. But when opposed by other political parties especially right wing BJP she wisely chose to keep herself away from the post and subsequently our congressmen termed her the goddess of sacrifice. This very behavior of congress is unparallel and unmatched in the entire political history of mankind.

Everyone knows why MMS is preferred over Pranav Mukherjee for the post of PM though later was more eligible and deserved candidate for the same post. MMS has made India a virtual slave of western world. He is more interested in becoming the darling of west and gandhis than that of Indians. Coming to Rahul Gandhi, he did not have any quality other than being the grand grandson of a person who was himself (Nehru) the spiritual son of late Mr. M.K. Gandhi. I don’t find any reason why and how Congress sees PM in Rahul Gandhi. He does not have any views and opinions on any topics of national and international importance.

To sum up, it can be said that congress has undergone a revolutionary change. What has founded to counter the British and propagating certain ideologies has turned into the nursery of political sycophants. Moreover its involvement in a lot of scams has further tarnished the image of congress. Moreover its attitude towards minorities is more because of vote bank compulsions than its intentions. What a paradox, the grand old political party of largest democratic country is not itself a democratic party.  

India as compared to China.

There is hardly any doubt that China is far ahead than any developing economy including India. Pathetic infrastructure, terrifying unskilled population, wide rampant corruption, naxalite problem is the few factors which pulls India way behind China. But if we look at future prospect, scenario is very different.

China's rise is more because of manufacturing revolution while India’s because of services sector. To counter this, India is coming with a new plan of establishing NMIZs (National Manufacturing and Investment Zone) for repeating the success of services and making India a manufacturing hub. This will try to address the problems regarding inflexible labour laws, infrastructural bottlenecks, FDI inflows and such other problems. Further, India has already established the National Skill Development Corporation to tap the demographic dividend of the country. Huge and massive investment in to infrastructure is planned and will surely erode the infrastructural bottlenecks to a larger extent.

Beside other factors, one major factor which contributes towards China's phenomenal rise is the absence of venues which can offer them stiff competition in terms of investment. As they say, it is much easier to enter into China but very difficult to operate in China. Google controversy is not hidden and manifests this fact. Now when a country i.e. India, the largest democracy, the oldest continuing civilization on the face of earth, is slowly but steadily marking its presence felt, it is not very difficult to imagine where India will share this space with authoritative and communist china .

Moreover, most of the western countries are becoming sick of industrial productions because of rising concern of climate change, aging population and dwindling profit at home. This would certainly make these plants to shift to newer and much profitable places. And no place will be more lucrative than democratic India with largest young and English speaking population.

Since the manufacturing sector requires huge raw materials, it would be very difficult to sustain this higher growth with the domestic raw materials and resources in future. This will enable the China and other countries including India and other emerging economies to look for the raw material away from their homes. This will generate huge competition among the developing nations, eroding the competitive advantage of China.

Moreover, India’s strategic location in the Indian ocean, places India in much better position than China in exploiting the raw material and other resources from Africa , Australia, southwest and south east Asia. India is being encouraged by various ASEAN members to actively participate in their region to counterbalance the rising presence of China. Further, various south west Asian countries are actively being encouraged to invest their oil earned forex in India.Further, the friendly and old cordial relation with mineral rich Russia would also an advantage for India in near future

Further, as far as service sector is concern, India, with largest English speaking population in world, will continue to climb the ladder much faster than any country across the globe.

Moreover, it is not all about becoming the super power and comparison of growth rates rather it is the comparison of both the nation as a whole. It is impossible not to be astonished by India. Nowhere on the face of Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions, races and tongues. Enriched by successive waves of migration and marauders from distant lands, every one of them left an indelible imprint which was absorbed into the Indian way of life. Every aspect of the country presents itself on a massive, exaggerated scale, worthy in comparison only to the superlative mountains that overshadow it. It is this variety which provides a breathtaking ensemble for experiences that is uniquely Indian. Perhaps the only thing more difficult than to be indifferent to India would be to describe or understand India completely. There are perhaps very few nations in the world with the enormous variety that India has to offer. Modern day India represents the largest democracy in the world with a seamless picture of unity in diversity unparalleled anywhere else.

As rightly said by Mark Twain, “India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only”.

Securing India’s future in science

Science involves the study of any phenomenon, event and object which can be distinctively observed, scientifically measured and can be objectively reproduced. Though science has been the part of our culture and tradition since time immemorial but its development on the modern line is the gift of western world in the aftermath of industrial revolution. Further, the achievement of industrial revolution had generated the quest in the mind of curious scholars who led the way for modern discoveries.
India, which is the cradle of ancient civilization, has been highly influenced by the scientific development of western world during its initial phase. Modern scientific development of India can be divided in 3 broad categories.
1. Pre independent phase
2. From 1947 to 1991
3. From 1991 to present

During the colonial period in pre independent phase the scientific development of India was imported from western countries. The ruler of India i.e. English were least interested in any sort of development. It was mainly imported from west. However the individual achievements of likes Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose, C.V. Raman and others cannot be underestimated as it has to provide much needed confidence, inspiration for generations to come.

After the independence India witnessed the formation of democratic setup in political sphere which not only realized the importance of independent scientific research policy but also took certain steps to promote the scientific research in the country. The works of Homi Jahangir Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai and others can be illustrated in this regard. This coupled with green revolution of 1960s and white revolution of 1970s has provided much needed good launching pad for India’s future scientific developments.

In the post 1991 phase when our economy was liberalized and opened for global interactions gave quality impetus for fast paced scientific growth which is still continuing and in all probability would continue in the time to come.

Today India’s scientific development revolves around the policy which envisages India as dominant world power in terms of scientific development, being second to none. This vision can be realized only through proper planning and multipronged strategies.

Scientific development of any country should be backed by proper Research and development. As we know that socio economic condition of India does not permit us to invest a large sum in to R&D. beside this, India is surrounded with large number of tiny and unstable countries which eats up substantial portion of our defense budget leaving very little for R&D. This problem can be eliminated by promoting the foreign assistance and investment. Moreover, today masses have largely become money oriented with almost no interest in R&D. further the rigid attitude and traditional outlook of masses is the potent weapon which hampers the growth of modern sciences. This can be reduced through imparting quality technical and moral education and by injecting nationalistic sentiments into the masses. This investment should not be limited to mere financial transaction but also should cover the technology, skills etc which promote the indigenous research.

Infrastructural bottleneck is another factor which discourages the promotion of scientific development. With investment coming up, not only it would promote the infrastructural development but also provide an attractive background for involvement of future generation in the field of scientific research.

The success story of pharmaceutical sector in India is phenomenal. The reason for it is the competition amongst various players striving for excellence, which not only promote the scientific environment of the country but also providing an attractive avenue of employment for future generations. This success story can similarly be adopted in other sectors of researches like defense, nuclear energy, nanotechnology, biotechnology etc.

One of the most important factor for the fast paced scientific development is the collaboration with foreign countries. Instances of Brahmos , chandrayan 1 and 2 etc. provide ample of evidences that signifies that mutual ties in this regard cannot be underestimated .With likeminded countries India can tie up to ripen the fruit already earned by those countries by providing a win-win deal.

One of the biggest challenge before the country is the bureaucratic red tapism and corruption in the administrative circle, which alone consumes substantial portion of budget allocated to the R&D. with the introduction of transparency, RTI, e-governance and IT, it can be reduced to satisfactory level if not eliminated completely.

India’s achievement in the past one decade or so is very impressive if not stunning. Our achievements in this regard are more remarkable than our developing counterparts. However for a country striving for scientific excellence, this cannot be taken as for granted and we should evolve a good foundation for solid educational system which promotes the creativity amongst its students and help in creating altogether the new breeds of curious scholars who would work as engine of scientific growth in the time to come.

Further, according to an estimate of UN, Indians are very efficient in formulation of policies and planning but when it comes to implement those strategies we fare poorly if not worst. So a proper and effective implementation mechanism should be set up to monitor the progress of relevant policies.

Moreover in the post financial crisis when economic growth of India is phenomenal India witnesses its rise in statue and it can no longer be labeled as third world country and consequently being known as emerging economy. This provided India much needed attention in the world affair and now when India deserves a better place in a new world order; it is in the position to negotiate with other countries on its own term. This is self evident from the fact that Japan, which was earlier opposing any nuclear pact with India, is now in no mood to wait for inking the nuclear pact with India any longer and expressed a great intention for such pact with India.

Any conclusion to such issues, that involve the scientific development, will be half hearted attempt if one does not mention the name of Israel. Israel is the country of limited natural and human resource and surrounded by number of unstable enemies which are the threats to its very existence. Still the achievement of Israel in scientific sphere is, in all standard ,more than wonderful and provides a thoughtful lesson to other countries that how to excel in any field.

Today, India is having largest number of younger population in terms of demographic distribution. This can be made useful with proper skill development. This coupled with proper planning and effective implementation can do wonder for this otherwise old and traditional civilization.

Are we a soft state?

This topic has attracted huge debate in the academic circle of Political Science and International Relations. Various theories and views have been put forward to explain the true nature of Indian Foreign Policy and its constitution. Before examining the nature of Indian Foreign Policy and constitution, I would like to explain the circumstances and bases which accounted for the formulation. It is important to note here that formulation of any such policies and documents for any country requires a special and concerted efforts and skills. This becomes even more complicated for the country like India as we belong to the nation which is the home of the people of diversified interests and aspirations and any radical and fundamentalist policies will only work for the disintegration of one of the oldest civilization. On the other side policies of the countries like US and countries of north western Europe are much simpler and less complicated due to host of factors like homogeneity in society and their stable boundaries and friendly and developed neighbors and moreover they also share common interest and elitist attitude with each other.

India’s recorded history started with the Indus valley civilization and since then it has come to an age. Various factors helped in enriching her culture and tradition and finally led to the formulation of composite culture. Mauryan King Ashoka was among the first in the subcontinent to spread the feeling of fraternity and brother hood. Further, various attacks and invasions to her frontier led to the accumulation of people of number of cultures. However all the invasion, right from mighty Greeks to ubiquitous Islam, led to enrich the diversity of the land and its people. All of these invaders were not only absorbed by the superiority of her culture but also they settled across her frontier and in due course of time they became as much the part of the land and its people as their earlier counterparts.

However the arrival of Europeans was dramatically different. In the early 18th century society of Hindustan was caught in the vicious web of social obscurantism and religious superstition and had become the pool of brahminical dominance. While on other hand Europeans were enlightened and had already organized on the modern lines in the aftermath of Renaissance. Interaction of these two, altogether different, societies led to the revival of our social structure and rise in the educational base of the country. However the biggest achievement of this phase was the birth of a nation which we today called as India. Here I would like to quote the difference between a nation and a country. Country really refers to geographical characteristics while nation refers to political and social characteristics. A nation is made up of states and a country is a nation defined geographically. This provided the much needed and solid foundation for the freedom struggle as it helped the Indians to be Indian and also provided a common identity to the nation.

With this background, world witnessed the rise of one of the greatest man of the century, known as Gandhi, who led India to independence with his charismatic leadership and principles of truth and non violence. It is often argued that Gandhi delayed Indian independence. Though it is very difficult to test this fictitious hypothesis but one thing is very true and well justified that this man has given India a base around which our might democracy revolves and because of this we earned the accolades of being the largest and one the most stable democracy in last six decades or so, inspite of its diversified interests and aspirations of her sons and daughters.

After the independence, a need for an acceptable constitution and independent foreign policy has risen and subsequently it led to the formulation of constitution and foreign policy. However any document of national important would not be acceptable until it accepts the principles and cultures which it inherits from its history and thus a constitution and a foreign policy was documented by keeping these things in the mind.

Now I would like to look into the notion if we are a soft state. Indian independence came into the time when World War 2 had already come to an end and world was being lobbied into two blocs. For the country like India which has the exploitative past and which was gifted with wretched poverty and has the hopelessly underdeveloped social structure, it would have been the easiest foreign policy to join any bloc especially of the USA in the hope of their merciful response. But what did India do? We not only rejected such proposal to join any bloc but also we went one step ahead and helped in the formation of largest group of nations, after UN, NAM and decided to judge any international issues on the basis of its merit. Can a soft state do this?

On the issue of terrorism and Pakistan, Indian policies have hugely criticized for being soft. Most of the scholar and so called intellectual class of Indian elites compared it with USA and went to the extent of saying that, had USA be in such condition response would have been drastically different. I pity them. The policies and measures opted by USA to counter the 9/11 attack is much different than Indian action would have been. Why? Because USA is not waging these wars in its neighborhood but India is. How can India be as hard as USA? Any aggression with neighborhood will only attract instability and violence in the region as is the case of Israel and south west Asia. Further we should not forget that Indian neighborhood is much different than that of developed world and so called elite states. We are surrounded with number of instable, underdeveloped nations, dominated by traditional society which is divided on number of ethnic and religious lines. The presence of China is only making situation worse. How can India be as hard as USA and other such other nations? Instead, we evolved a novel foreign policy which is based on the ideologies which we inherited from our great ancestors.

Similarly on the issue of nuclear deal, we were able to clinch the deal that too without signing CTBT and NPT inspite of strong opposition from China, Pakistan and such other nations. At the same time we successfully demonstrated our support for nuclear disarmament by publishing our “No first use policy” which is unparallel and unmatched in the world politics. How can a country like India be called as soft?

On the issue of Global warming, too, we successfully asserted our opinion and views which was, though, opposed by so called developed world. But instead of succumbing to the pressure we put forward our interest and aspiration regarding the issue which was again based on shared responsibility. How can we soft?

Time and again India has demonstrated the politics of ideology and asserted the power of “Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam”. If being soft means being weak then India is neither weak nor soft but if being soft means following the ideologies and values, based on its cultural heritage, then India is not the soft country but the softest country, showing light to the rest part of the world.

Burning Kashmir and its Solution

Perhaps Kashmir is the most puzzling problem Indian polity has ever witnessed. The exact solution of this problem is yet unknown even to the governments of both sides of border. Before looking into the possible solutions of this problem I will give a brief note on the genesis of problem as most of us don’t know what exactly the problem of Kashmir is.

The dawn of Indian independence was accompanied by the bifurcation of the country which was based on the two nation theory proposed by Mr. Jinnah. With this division, a struggle has begun for gaining the sovereignty over Kashmir between two newly freed nations. At the time of independence the entire Kashmir was under the control of a Hindu ruler of Kashmir however the demographic division was in the favuor of Muslims. Keeping this in mind Pakistan attacked on Kashmir with the intention of claiming its sovereignty over the region. And instead of counter attacking the Pakistan army we went to king of Kashmir with a proposal that we would defend them only when they acknowledge India’s sovereignty over Kashmir. By the time we got the assurance form Kashmir, Pakistan had already occupied almost one third of Kashmir by hopelessly defeating its army. And instead of throwing them out from the portion they have already snatched from Kashmir, which is still in the control of Pakistan and now called as POK(Pakistan Occupied Kashmir), we just blocked their further advancement towards Srinagar. We didn’t stop here and finally we made the biggest mistake in the history of independent India by going to UN and making Kashmir a disputed territory. And henceforth this issue has been pending with UN. Our war with China also aggravated this problem and was one of the main reasons of the friendship between China and Pakistan. Further, we fought 3 wars with Pakistan which has worsened the condition in the region. However in the decade of 80s Kashmir pundits were thrown out from their home region making Kashmir almost a Muslim region. With the rise in Islamic terrorism Kashmir problem has become puzzle to solve. The ultimate tragedy lies in the fact no one has a readymade solution which is acceptable to both side.

Now question arises that what should be the solution of this political dilemma. With the awareness level rising day by day it is almost impossible for any country be it Pakistan or be it India to give up their portion. So it is prerequisite for the ultimate solution that present condition is resumed and LOC should be made permanent boundary. Once India gets its part of land, the next step would be to create a pro Indian sentiment in the valley. For this I would suggest two pronged strategy. Firstly, India should involve itself in the developmental work of the region and by taking suitable and relevant projects a engine of growth can be generated but while doing this, participation of local individual should be ensured so that simultaneous development of a feeling of belongingness should take place among the peoples of region. And secondly, India should also look at the transition of demographic distribution of the area by encouraging Hindus to settle in the valley so that a balanced demography could be achieved.

However this solution is not as simple as it looks to my readers. Certain hurdles are bound to arise, for an example Pakistan is not interested in making LOC a permanent boundary. Moreover, the growing influence of China in the region can not be ignored. This becomes more important when we consider that we are still fighting on boundary issues with China as well and our relationship with our mighty neighbor is not cordial. Further the increasing closeness of Pakistan with China is also a cause of concern. So, according to me, while solving the Kashmir problem, our disputes with China should be settled as early as possible so that Pakistan could not bargain on the name of mighty China. Here the role of geopolitics is inevitable. As India and China both are rising at the same time, a bond of friendship can be developed as the aspirations and interests of both countries are almost same. Further, the historical ties can also be taken as morale booster.

While bargaining with Pakistan Indian should be ready to make some minor sacrifices to maintain the peace in the region as India is a responsible nation in the world and is known for its principle of peace and non violence. It should also kept in the mind that beside being the biggest nation in the subcontinent, India is also surrounded by numbers of poor, underdeveloped and tiny nations, the price of which India has to pay in the name of minor sacrifices . However any such sacrifice should be made by keeping in mind that there are number of separatist movements active in India and such sacrifices in no case should work as a morale booster for these separatist groups

Should States be divided?

Recently in the wake of Telangana issue, once again the issue of dividing the various states has got the ground in the political sphere of our country. A demand of dividing one of the largest state in the country i.e. UP has gained ground to such an extent that its echo can be listened even in state's assembly. A long pending demand of dividing UP in 3 or more part has once again came into prominence.

Now, it is pertinent here to think how useful is to divide any state and create a new one. It is often said that smaller states has more prospect to grow than larger one and this statement can even be supported by citing the example of Punjab,Haryana etc. Perhaps because of this or only because of this belief Assam was ruined and divided into various part keeping in mind that it would also helping creating the engine of growth .But needless to say what happened to our North eastern states, not only they could not ripe the fruits of development but also the demands of further division of states have risen periodically. So dividing larger states into smaller one is not the ultimate solution.

Further, i will ask here a question, which state in India has the potential to be on the top? Mh, GJ or southern states... any guess...i will bet for Jharkhand....it is the most prosperous stete in the country in the term of mineral wealth. Also , it is endowed with natural beauty which only enhances its prospect of becoming prosperous. Bihar was divided and Jharkhand was born in the winter of 2000 with the hope that this would usher an era of development but needless to say what is the present condition of Jharkhand. So even the availability of resources should not be the taken as assurance for the development of state

In India, most of the states are dependent on central aid for their survival as their own income is not high enough to feed their own population. So by just dividing states and creating new one will only aggravate the burden of central government. Moreover the financial assistance required for the setting up the administrative machinery will only do the worse. Further it is the centre which has to bear the additional cost of erratic election caused by irresponsible state politicians. So any further division of any state will thus create only additional burden on the centre. Then what is the solution?

Before looking into the possible solution, just takes a case study. What is the difference between PB, HR and UP,BH . An ordinary person will say that first league of state is more prosperous than later but I will say second league of state has the potential to make 100s of PB and HR out of them. But why are they lagging? Because they are large or they don’t have resources? The eastern UP and northern Bihar has one of the most fertile land not only in India but also in the world but still they are lagging. But what is the reason? The answer is the psycho-social condition of these states.. The reader will be amazed to know that more than 70% of land holding belongs to the elite of respected areas which in no case would be more than 10% of population of related areas. Land being the only resources and agriculture being the single most important occupation of rural folks, this type of inequitable land distribution will only create the havoc in the states and such demand of dividing the state is inevitable. Similar is the case of many states in India.

So instead of dividing the state on the name of development we should look into the matter more deeply and instead of trying the solutions that is cliche we should go for more novel solutions. We should not feed the unsatisfied politicians to make their own career and work for better recourse management and upliftment of socio- economic condition of our citizens

Why I am an ATHEIST

As regards the origin of God my own idea is that having realized the limitations of man, his weaknesses and shortcoming having been taken into consideration, God was brought into imaginary existence to encourage man to face boldly all the trying circumstances, to meet all dangers manfully and to check and restrain his outbursts in prosperity and affluence. God both with his private laws and parental generosity was imagined and painted in greater details. He was to serve as a deterrent factor when his fury and private laws were discussed so that man may not become a danger to society. He was to serve as a father, mother, sister and brother, friend and helpers when his parental qualifications were to be explained. So that when man be in great distress having been betrayed and deserted by all friends he may find consolation in the idea that an ever true friend was still there to help him, to support him and that He was almighty and could do anything. Really that was useful to the society in the primitive age.

What does a woman want?

A woman is never interested in an ordinary man – no woman worth anything is ever interested in an ordinary man. A woman is always interested in something extraordinary, something majestic, something beyond the grasp. But once a woman catches hold of the man she was interested in, she starts destroying that very power, because then she becomes afraid: he will dominate, and nobody wants to be dominated.

Before he starts dominating, she has to destroy that very power. And I call it a tragedy, because once that power is destroyed she will no more be interested in the man. This is the dilemma: she is interested in power, then the power feels frightening. If the man remains so powerful then she will remain dependent; she will never be the whole – and soon she starts playing feminine tricks. And because he loves her, the man goes on yielding.

Once he starts yielding, the lion disappears and the mouse is born, and no woman is interested in a mouse
