Question arises despite having 242 million strong population and abundance of resources, why we failed to develop in the past 77 years. Answer is very simple; inept policymakers, absence of realistic priorities viz. global trajectory, vested interests, orthodox approaches, missed opportunities and inadequate physical and incompetent human infrastructure. Today, we have a cadre of trained and highly skilled human capital, desire to develop, availability of energetic and competent leadership at-least in Punjab and Sind (CMs), however, orthodox mindset of some of the already tested but failed elders continues to hinder the change by influencing the decisionmaking & priority-setting process. This undue intervention with an aim to run the system with traditional and obsolete style cannot have traction amongst masses. Youth will throw it in Arabian Sea. Better, we must realize the dynamics of change, identify the complexion of tech-driven global supply & value chains, transform our industrial & economic model; making it compatible to the international system, hone the competencies & expertise of human capital, build digitally & technologically smart infrastructure and develop flexible, nimbler, linear and creative policymaking mechanism. Entire system should be underpinned by the advanced ideas propelled by the contemporary and futuristis educational, technological innovative and entrepreneurial drive.

In politics, what you don’t say can be just as powerful as what you do. Sometimes, silence becomes the loudest voice in the room. 100 Political Insights from Leaders: When Silence Speaks Volumes Narendra Modi’s Strategic Silence During the 2002 Gujarat Riots As Chief Minister of Gujarat during the 2002 riots, Modi faced intense criticism for not openly condemning the violence. While the decision drew backlash internationally, within Gujarat, his silence allowed him to project an image of a leader focused on governance, not rhetoric. Why It Worked: The strategy resonated with a section of the electorate that viewed him as a decisive leader who prioritizes actions over words. Despite criticism, this phase became a stepping stone in his rise to national prominence. Key Takeaway: In politics, silence isn’t always weakness. Sometimes, it’s a calculated move to let actions—or perceptions—speak louder than words. What’s your take on leaders using silence as a strategy? Effective or evasive? Let’s discuss below!

Leadership Lessons from Rahul Gandhi's Transformation: 'Pappu' to "RaGa-The LOP" "डरो मत, डराओ मत" With Rahul Gandhi's amazing speech in Parliament, raising critical issues like the Manipur crisis and the NEET scam, it seems democracy is finally back on track. This shows how far he's come as a leader. Not long ago, people laughed at Rahul Gandhi, calling him "Pappu". But now, he's become a strong voice that even his critics respect. His story teaches us a lot about becoming a better leader. Here's what I learned from his journey: [:] Connect with Your Base: His 10,000 km Bharat Jodo Yatra demonstrated the power of grassroots engagement. [:] Embrace Digital Platforms: An enhanced social media presence significantly boosted his reach and influence. [:] Persist Through Challenges: Gandhi's resilience in face of setbacks highlights the value of determination. [:] Build Strategic Alliances: Successful coalitions, as seen in Uttar Pradesh, underscore the importance of collaboration. Result: His party, Congress, got almost twice as many seats in the 2024 election compared to 2019. His story proves that with hard work and smart choices, anyone can change how others see them and become a better leader. What do you think? How can you use these ideas in your own life or work? #BecomeABetterLeader #NeverGiveUp #WorkTogether #ChangeYourImage #Day2 #30Days30Posts
