So very happy to see a front page article in the Times of India on Monday in which Madhu Koda has declared that in good time ‘kissi ko chhoddunga nahi’. My heart went aflutter again after the DNA carried a picture of Koda saheb campaigning and all smiles.
Thank God Koda sir is back. I had started doubting my country and its ability to not recognise a genius when it sees one.
In a nation where the brute majority of people are like me –average looking, lower than average brained and higher than average jealous- it would be a shame to send Koda saheb to jail for his crimes.
It is just that some geniuses cannot except the rules framed by some other geniuses just to keep in check people like me or you. Do you ever see anyone call out to a lion when night falls so that he can tied to his post in the cowshed. No. Those rules are for cows and calves, not for lions of course.
Similarly how can we expect someone as exalted as Koda saheb to follow simple rules of ethics, morals and taxation and submit his genius to such things meant for commoners?
Now just imagine how vile it is to go after a man who has given the power of attorney of crores worth of his wife’s property to a constable who says I have no clue about it (Mumbai Mirror front page Tuesday). Does anyone care to know that this man- the politico- came into this city as a hawker and built a fortune encompassing several crores here in this city? Why should he allow your morals to dim what he is capable off? Why should anyone have a problem if he has two PAN cards?
I think we Indians must let go of our inherent streak of jealousy and allow such geniuses to flourish.
The only silver lining is that a vast majority of Indians have already begun realizing this line of thought. Look at the number of such geniuses in our Parliament and state assemblies.
I’m sure the people of Jharkhand will once again reiterate this awakening by giving Koda saheb enough votes and seats for him to become chief minister another time. At least my vote is firmly for Koda saheb.
