Alchemy leadership

Subject decides the king's nature and king decide the subject's fate.

Leadership is one of the most prominent factor in deciding nations destiny.

It has always been argued that which type of leadership is best suited for any type government or governance. From divine theory of kingship or leadership to democratic leadership theory, all possess its own consequences. It has only been the need of hour and society that which type you justify. As far as style of leadership is concerned we need both autocratic as well as democratic. Wars like situation never demands for democratic leadership it always prefers to be autocratic on the other hand we need democratic style on our land acquisition. Neither the format is absolute in itself.

Being the student of public administration what I came to know is that leadership is functional and situational and beyond the barrier of caste and religion and all other parting ideology. Democracy gave us an institutionalized leadership which curb down the chances of being autocratic. Leadership and its emergence have so many pros and cons, none the aspect behind its emergence can be ruled out.

In a country like India where the democracy is naive and the turmoil society is going through transition period along with economy and polity, leadership has to play extra dynamic role as leadership in itself is a dynamic activity. As far as the history of Indian leadership is concerned this soil has given veteran like Vivekananda and Gandhi, whose leadership and remarks were followed world-wide even today. But those days have gone  and Gandhi too.

Here leadership simply means PM and CM i.e. political representatives not the ethical ideologist like Gandhi and Vivekananda whose leadership gave real Midas touch. Communicative and interactive leadership is best suited leadership in democracy, but unfortunately we don't have it and if sometime it happens, it happens  only after five years. Even after five year it proves to be one sided interaction where leader dictate and we the “Subject” pay holly heed towards their cosmic words. Yes we are subject not citizen, for the nation we are citizen and for our leaders we still are subject. Not only we are supposed to be so but we are also self-ordered to be so without questioning.

Both at national and provincial level our leaders made their own actual ground castle by making our dreamy castle in air with their lucrative and decorative funny words. There is no doubt that after independence we have seen several leaders who viewed India from common Indians eyes (sorry it’s better not to named them here, we all have our own choice). They were really alchemist whose Midas touch felt forever. 

But in the meantime some tactful witty politicians well trained in solving caste and communal puzzle made leadership jungle gambling show were everything is fair except losing the game. Neither the caste nor the religion based leadership is an evil both has its own advantage and needed for socio-national development. Therefore the makers of Indian constitution made proper arrangement for it. But these arrangements has been very smartly manipulated for the sake of vote bank and in order of being alchemist leader whose touch will change the destiny common mass as our leaders think of it. Thanks to their development punch-line which sounds like “khul-jaa-sim-sim”.

Not only the existing government who used all its Midas knowledge to came in power but also the ruled out government used all their alchemy mantra to save their chair with all means. For both of them it’s only their luck that whose mantra works when. Now the Bihar game begins and every priest will utter their mantra with all their puzzling knowledge. Now Again its time to hold our heart beat, dream of our own castle and start checking our account God knows when we become “Lakhpati”and may be fodder of our pets come back any time. 

Thanks to all our ALCHEMIST.
