The Politics of Yoga: How will it Alleviate Hunger and Malnutrition ?

Narendra Modi is a past master at distracting attention from the pressing problems of India. Here is a country of 1. 2 billion people which as per conservative estimates by the UNO  has a malnutrition and hunger problem for 500 million people: which is more than the entire population of Europe.


Hence what is the priority for India ? It is alleviating hunger and giving food to children who go to sleep at night without a full meal.  Yet the Indian PM is not concerned as he goes about distracting the people with infructuous events like Yoga Day. Pray Mr PM, I want to know how yoga is going to benefit a hungry child or a man who goes to bed on a sparse meal devoid of nutrition? Is he expected to do yogic asanas and will these asanas help him fill his belly?

Narendra Modi has his priorities wrong. He has soft pedalled on corruption and impropriety of his cabinet ministers, one of who is hobnobbing with a known evader of law and another is moving around without any qualification and what ever she has is a fake degree. The sad part is this person  Smriti Irani is  given an important portfolio like HRD. Can anything be sadder  ? One must remember in the last BJP ministry the HRD was handled by a qualified veteran like Murli Manohar Joshi who was a MSc in Physics.  What a mockery this man Modi makes of important portfolios.

We also have the case of Sushma Swaraj who is the foreign minister. She must be a shameless lady to hang on to the post despite being brought out that she has violated all canons of propriety by hobnobbing and worse helping a known wheeler dealer and evader of Indian law. She is helping this man remain in London and goes about still with a bland smile on her face. In this case the less said about Modi the better.

Modi knows how to detract attention from pressing needs of the day. the man who sits in Yogic asana  in Public, is in fact a callous man. He has no time for veterans of the age of 80-90 sitting and fasting in the sun for OROP as also with propriety in public life. All he is interested in is his own image. I have already brought out the effect of the Napoleonic horoscope which is there in his chart and we all know what happened to Napoleon.

 Modi had  an excellent chance to get to brass tacks and See that food is available for all. Have you sir any plans for it OR another stint at Yoga will serve the purpose ?
