The mindless aping of every superficial and symbolic gesture of the current American administration points to the deep cultural and intellectual void created in the Indian society. Socialism is partly to blame, as that ideology basically kills creative and intellectual spirit little by little. Cultural invasion, aided by the secular Government also shares some of the blame.
As it is this reduces a serious business like Governance into a popularity contest or a limited overs cricket match. This "100 days" concept sounds even more silly when you consider the fact that there was no regime change in India. At least in America there was a change of guard.
The media is playing along. We know how this will end, celebrations and mutual back pattings galore, perhaps a mini award ceremony. To us, it just looks more comical than 60s plump Bollywood heroines wearing obsolete designer clothes from the West, in two sizes too small.

Thank God its not just me who noticed this bunkum. But dude, look at the hypocrisy. The same Muslim Rightist Congress and sellout media were deriding Mr. Advani for asking wimpy manmoron singh for a live TV debate saying this is not a US presidential election. But now they are so happy at conveniently copying this foolish 100 days idea. Before elections, the mythical economist said he will revamp Bharatiya economy within 100 days if re-elected. What the f**k were you doing for past 5 years?
