That I can’t bend down to embrace another human

Deliver me ever from such arrogance.

Excerpts from his poem “ Oonchai ” , written on being conferred the Padama Vibhushan on April 24, 1992.

 

December 25th, this date is something as if all the GREATS have to be born on this date. It was FIRST that Jesus Christ was born on this date, then it was Mr Atal Behari Vajapayee was born on this date and again Mohammed Rafi was born on this date. The date synomises with something that relates to greatness.

It was on December 25, 1924, this pious day of Christmas, that Atal Bihari Vajpayee a true son of motherland was born in Gwalior in a respected educated family. His father Pandit Krishan Bihari Vajpayee was a school teacher with the Gwalior Gharana, the SCINDIA’s  and grandfather Pandit Shyam Lal  Behari was a renowned Sanskrit scholar.

This is the "POEM" a very SHORT one by me for him which he liked it so much that he send me his WORDS OF APPRECIATION and the peom is such-:

" Sabkay Pyare , Sabkay Nyare
Bhoorthpurv Woh , Pant Pradhan Hamaray
Sir Ghoomakar , Ungliyia Naachakar
Jawab De Joh , Dheer, Sooost Aur Satal

Wahi Toh Thhey Hamary , Pradhan Mantri Poorv
Behari Vajapayeeji Atal "




Pic :: The Xerox Copy Of The Letter Of " Appreciation " That I Had received From Him

This is the copy of his letter of appreciation to me for the poem that I wrote on him and the FIRST book of my LIFE that I had written and authored which was dedicated to him. Generally the first book written by anybody is dedicated to his family member but this was the MAN, I dedicated to, as he was the ONE who INSPIRED me to WRITE and he in a way directed me to write a book in 1976 when I first met him in a function of the " RSS " which was held on the Subedar Hall Ground at Nagpur in 1976.

My first book that I had written in my life, which hit the market and which saw it's light of the day, the book titled NOTABLE QUOTES AND NOBLE THOUGHTS OF MANAGEMENT, POLITICS, PEACE AND WAR was dedicated to this " GREAT HUMAN BEING " .

Early Education - ::

Mr. Vajpayee had his education in Gwalior. He did his post graduation from Victoria College (now Lakshmi Bai College) from Gwalior itself  and his post graduation in political science from DAV College, Kanpur. For sometime he studied, but in the midstream he chose to become a journalist, he worked for “ Rashtra Dharma ”, a monthly and Panchjanya, a weekly, tabloid that was published and is still being published by the Rashtriya Swayayem Sewak Sangh,  and Swadesh and Veer Arjun, both dailies.

The “ HEAVENLY ” QUALITIES ::

The  very sober, mild and cool, person that he always was,  the former Prime Minister who is no more now, Prime Minister Mr. Vajpayee, whom Jawaharlal Nehru had once introduced to Winston Churchill as the future Prime Minister of this country 40 years ago has really travelled a long way to emerge as India’s towering politician, a leader who commands respect and admiration not only of his party men but even of his rivals, not to speak of million of his admirers across the world. The man is loved for his qualities of head and heart, his poetry, his integrity boldness, patriotism, qualities of forget and forgive, and the principle of consensus. He is one of the few who can brave the worst travails in life and political career, and came out unscathed.

The Political Career ::

Mr. Vajpayee’s political career started when he was elected to Lok Sabha from Balrampur (UP) in 1957. He won from Gwalior in 1971 from New Delhi in 1977 and 1980 and from Lucknow 1989, 1991, 1998 and 1999. Mr. Vajpayee was the leader of Jansangh Parliamentary party from 1957 to 1977, president of Jansangh from 1968 to 1973 and founder president of Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) which was born after the split of Janta Party that stormed to the power on the crest of anti-emergency wave in 1977. During the dark days of emergency, Vajpayee was in detention from 1975 to 1977 and when Janta government headed by Morarji Desai came to power Vajpayee became the External Affairs Minister. He was one of the first, to voice India’s opposition to the unequal Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and he made it clear that his country would sign NPT only When the nuclear power gave convincing evidence of their desire to ban and destroy nuclear weapons. As a parliamentarian Mr. Vajpayee has been a member of Lok Sabha nine times and of Rajya Sabha twice. As the leader of the opposition in the tenth and eleventh Lok Sabha he served on various parliamentary committees. Twice he led Indian delegation to the United Nations and he was the member of Indian delegation to the UN at least seven times. The nation has honoured him with Padam Vibhushan and Best Parliamentarian Award.It was the Modi Government that came ino the power that bestowed upon him the “ BHARAT RATNA” .

The elevation of Atal Bihari Vajpayee as the Prime Minister of India on March 19, 1998, nearly 22 month after he had to resign as  Prime Minister for lack of adequate number of votes for his newly formed government, was the reward of his sterling qualities of patience, perseverance, liberalism and lack of bitterness even for his worst critics. After coming into power Vajpayee had to face problems but he faced all the problems with courage and sincerity.

His MOST “ GOLDEN ” WORK AND EXPEDITION ::

There were TWO of his most famous expedition of the work that he did it for the nation.The FIRST was to appoint Mr A.P.J.Abdul Kalam as the PRESIDENT of this country which was HAILED by the different communities of the world and the next was to revieve the fact that India was a NUCLEAR POWER when he did the Pokhran . The entire WORLD had forgotten that India was a NUCLEAR power as Infdia had tested the Nuclear weapon at Pokhran in 1975 but as the WORLD had forgotten that and was making India a SOFT TARGET again and again, Mr Vajapayee by again testing at Pokhran, the Nuclear arsenal just gave a warning to the WORLD that- WE ARE A NUCLEAR POWER and have or possess the capability of the same.

Was The “ FIRST ” To Caution Pandit Nehru About The Kashmir Ranckle

His FIRST foray into the WORLD-OF-POLITICS was in 1947 when in the month of December in the NAIL-CHILL-BITING  cold of Kashmir and Jammu, he completely overtook a journey by foot of Kashmir and Jammu and went as far as the deepest interiors, to guage the actual situation of the area along the line of control.He plainly told Mr Nehru that DANGER was lurking on the frontal area of Jammu and Kashmir and that India has to be ready to fae the assault of the enemy across the border.

Of what he saw he met Mr Nehru and Mr Patel, separately, and appraised them of the situation. That was the time when he and his attention grew fond towards the politics and slowly he  started developing affinity towards it. He joined the JAN SANGH then, at the behest of Deen Dayal Purohit, and thus started his political career. This and thus he became a politician, albeit the THIRTEENTH Prime Minister of India.

May 1998 :: A True test Of Our Nuclear Capability

May 11, 1998 was truly a golden day when Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee announced to the nation and rest of the world the successful underground nuclear test in Pokhran. At the same time he also made it clear that the stand ie ,  India’s stand on nuclear weapons that she wanted peace, harmony and has no intention of becoming a nuclear power.

His LOVE for ARTS, LITERATURE, CULTURE :: EXCELLENT POET AND AN AUTHOR

Perhaps Mr. Vajpayee innate love for arts, literature and culture has made him totally different breed of politician, a true gentleman with deep compassion and integrity. He has shown that to gain popularity, it is not necessary to stoop to cheap popular gimmicks. He has taken ups and downs of his political life with great equanimity and bears malice towards none. He is among the very few politicians who knows how to respect the viewpoint of their opponents and at the same time, expose his rivals to the full view of the public without leaving any trail of bitterness. He was truly a parliamentarian par excellence. Besides being a politician he was an excellent poet and writer. His poems are patriotic carrying message of love, peace harmony and goodwill.



Pic :: A Poem Penned By Mr Atal Behari Vajapayee 

True to his name, Atalji was an eminent national leader, an erudite politician, a selfless social worker, forceful orator, poet, journalist and indeed a multifaceted personality. He was an ideal for the masses.

An Ideal Man For “ PEACE ” :: Illustrations Of Peaceful Attitude And Mannerism

Mr. Vajpayee was basically a man of peace. His ‘ Bus Diplomacy ’ whereby he travelled to Pakistan in a bus to seek lasting peace with Pakistan, India’s erstwhile part (though he was betrayed by Kargil) and his declaration of no first use of nuclear option, as also destruction of nuclear arsenal provided there is full disarmament of nuclear weapons, are some of illustrations of his peaceful intentions. No wonder NDA won a majority support in 1999 elections and Mr. Vajpayee became 13th Prime Minister of the country and occupied the office till May 2004. It was his third stint as Prime Minister since 1996.

His Self Belief And His Characteristics To Pull A 23 Party Government

The clear message that clearly springs from his deeds is that even under the most trying circumstances we must never lose our values that have so long been our guiding star.  “ When you get into a light and everything goes against you, and it seems as though you could not hold in a minute longer, never give up then. For that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” This is the light imparted by and emanates from Atalji’s personality.

He was the FIRST in the ENTIRE WORLD to lead a party by the name of NDA with the help of 23 different parties from the Regional sectors aligning it with the BJP and he demonstrated how such a huge and vastly different parties with different ideologies could be mingled into one and could be led for a term of as many as six years. His attitude and his effective mannerism to deal with each of the separate parties with a separate ideologies is the FIRST of it’s kind in the world which makes him extempore, ostentatious and exemplary to anybody to follow those truce and tries.

Stunningly defeated :: The Media creation defeats him.

In 2004 Lok Sabha Election NDA of which leader was Atal Bihari Vajpayee got a stunning defeat in the hands of Congress and its allies and thus the opportunity of Vajpayee becoming Prime Minister of India fourth time was lost. NDA BJP alliance which had more than 300 seats in the 13th Lok Sabha managed only to secure 185 seats—far behind the magic number of majority. On the counting day of votes as the reports of NDA defeat poured in Vajpayee ji and his entire Cabinet decided to step down.

It was NEVER the party which did so badly that tasted the defeat.Infact the WORLD BANK in it’s report had indicated that under Mr Vajapayee for the FIRST time, the Indian Rural sector alone had contributed a maximum of 2% towards the GDP which stood at 5.5% then and that the rural sector in India under Vajapayee  Sahab, as the Prime Minister improved and rose by a whopping 4.4%. It was the MEDIA that was against the BJP and the NDA that made a picture of everything very bad for the NDA to loose and the main target always was Mr Narendra Modi and the Godhra for which such a negative picture was painted that the NDA ended being defeated.

Undoubtedly during his premiership Atal ji did some excellent works for most of them was the improvement of relationship with India’s archival Pakistan.He did it for the SECOND time in his life then. The FIRST was when he was ther Foreign Minister in 1977. At that time he send an Indian cricket team to Pakistan , totally saying that DO NOT RAISE ANY FURORE DURING THE MATCH.For Pakistan it could be a REVENGE series but for us it is a FRIENDSHIP series and we are playing for stabilizing the relationship with them. He again did that when Mr Pervez Musharraf requested him to send a cricket team under Sourav Ganguly and he responded when India defeated Pakistan by 2-1 in that series.

 On the  International for he did every possible things which might project India in a good light before the world. He is  not  alive now but his deeds are indelibly imprinted on the minds of masses and his name will be written in “ golden ”  letters in the history of India .

This is JUST a TRIBUTE to that GREAT man – ONE OF THE “ GREAT ” OF THE WORLD AS A PRIME MINISTER AND AS AN POLITICIAN. This is what I can OFFER him on his birth anniversary today 

Well , that is it and That sums it all.

Regards and Thanks
