This is a story of ‘Red Rats’ of a walled kingdom of eastern civilization, an ‘Angel’, and ‘Timmy Cat’ of a far away land of liberty monument of western civilization. All of them live in a crisis ridden planet earth. However, in the ‘walled kingdom’, not only red rats live, but there are many ‘white pigeons’ who have become ‘red rats’ out of fear from ‘revolver wielding red rats’. Red rats were perturbed recently, when more than five thousand white pigeons assembled at ‘
Red Rats advocate that, it is essential for the safety of fellow ‘poor rats’ getting harmed from their arch enemy naughty ‘Cats’ to keep ‘revolver’. They consider all the ‘Cats’ very naughty always engaged in stealing their grains and creating hindrance in making ‘an ideal planet earth’, where ‘tiger’, lion, monkeys, goats, squirrel, crow, dogs, hen, chimpanzee etc. could become red and should only eat ‘grains’. In the ‘ideal planet earth’ of ‘red rats’; monkey could marry a tiger, lion could marry a squirrel, and goat can marry a crow etc., wearing one pattern of cloth and could live in the same type of houses. However, leaders of Red Rats don’t live in ‘common houses’ as per the objective of their philosophy. But in ‘palaces’ of pigeon monarchs replaced in red revolution. Red rats strongly believes in red reading, red drinking, red eating, red sleeping and even at night they chant – give me red…give me red…give me red! They say it is scientific.
In ‘liberty land’, majority population comprises of white pigeons and minority black pigeons and not of ‘cats’. Their philosophy gives space from changing pigeon to become cats. So some cats also live in liberty land. They don’t consider cats as a threat because at any danger they can fly away from cat attacks. Cats can’t fly if any thing goes wrong. To run their liberty land, they have formed two groups – ‘Dommy Pigeon Group’ and ‘Roopy Pigeon Group’. In recent election, pigeons voted for ‘Dommy Pigeons’ to run ‘liberty land’ and they selected ‘a graceful black pigeon’ as their leader. After getting elected, the black pigeon leader started world tour of ‘green pigeon land’ and offers to debate about the issues rather than fighting. Roopy Pigeon group now in minority got alert by new ‘Dommy pigeons’ leader approach to the problem which might endanger the security of ‘liberty land’ and many among them started shouting – ‘he is not a black pigeon but a ‘red rat’ in a costume of black pigeon bent upon destroying our ‘liberty land’, beware of him…beware of him! Now-a-days, both groups are engaged in attacking each other giving little attention to their own history of unity and strength required in any crisis.

Recently, after a long hard work red rats have developed an ‘ice-cream’ worth 200 billion dollars. Red Rats are very happy as all Cats of the world are now running towards their walled kingdom to get the tasty bite of ‘ice-cream’ and offering them to open ‘ice-cream parlor’ in their kingdoms. Although for red rats as they say, they don’t like bitter taste of ‘ice-cream’ and prefers to live by eating ‘grains’ like poor brethren rats. As they strongly believe in ‘poor rats of the world unite’. However, at night, leaders of red rats used to taste ice-cream, which is not for all red rats.
Since ‘liberty land’ is facing crisis of ice-creams, so they have selected ‘Timmy Cat’ to manage the procurement of tasty ice-cream. Timmy Cat has long experience of ice-cream making and also has good links with walled kingdom. So he made a trip to walled kingdom to convince red rats to give their ice-cream for safe keeping in ‘liberty land’. Timmy cat assured leaders of red rats that their ice-cream is in safe hands and will not melt away. But red rats know the naughty behaviour of their arch enemy cats. So they organized a meeting of expert red rats to seek opinion on the issue and majority of them suggested it is not safe in the hands of cats. Although, Red Rats finally opined that, ‘Timmy Cat’ is there so we can be sure of the safety of our precious ice-cream. The pigeons of liberty land has forgotten that strength of their nation doesn’t lie in fatal ‘ice-creams’ eating. But realizing the inherent potentiality of their land as well as setting example from leadership to change the eating behaviour of white pigeons.
Moreover, the new leader of ‘Ganges land’ in turban seeing cozy behaviour of ‘liberty land’ with ‘walled kingdom’ also started saying – we also want multi-faceted cooperation with walled kingdom. Red Rats also announced walled kingdom has to learn many things from

The poor white pigeons of pagoda land are confused what to do in this awkward situation? Some time they make an appeal to liberty land for the freedom of Angel, sometime to Red Rats, sometime to the new leader of white pigeon in turban of

Have you seen China's new trick article published in the people's daily on 11th June - India's unwise military move? They are saying they have developed advanced political system. What is your opinion?

Dear Aakash,
I think most of the questions about the so called theory of ‘advanced political system’ of China have been well addressed in the previous posts. Moreover, one thing which I missed to mention in the last post, that, ‘all cats are not ugly and bad’ and there are many good benevolent ‘cats’ in the world of ‘open society’. If you look rationally then you will find that, ‘so called advanced political system’ of China as utopian or irrational concept. I consider it as a regressive forced political model based on ‘violence’ which majority of freedom loving Chinese doesn’t like. It could be best compared with ruthless monarchy of medieval age which restricted individual freedom of opinion. If it so perfect then why they haven’t achieved success in checking corruption, bribery, prostitution, which are often reported in Chinese official media after six decades of forced control? Moreover, if the so called ‘advanced political system’ is perfect, then why it is required after six decade to amend the constitution of China to give place to ‘religion’ in the amended constitution of 2007? In fact they have accepted ‘religion’ in their constitution to cover the demerits of original concept and fool the world.
However, it is for the Chinese people to decide which model is best for them. In addition, majority of the new generation of Indian people believes that, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal are her natural ally and not as the official article wants to project. I don’t think that, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and any other nations of world would like to change their society into regimented forced model. Although, it is for other nations to decide, which way they want to go – in medieval age or in the age of freedom of 21st Century?
