Time Travel Politics: The Art of Escaping Accountability




In today’s India, we seem to have invented a new political formula: whenever someone asks a tough question, the government doesn’t answer in the present. Instead, a time machine is switched on, and we are transported straight into the past.  


Ask about the farmers protest, the Eduquity scam, the wrestlers protest, the Voters Id issue or the collapsing state of social security. Raise the issue of  banking scams or corruption, and you’ll get the same recycled reply:  

"Congress ne yeh kiya tha… Indira ke zamane mein aisa hua tha." and how can we keep the most favorite out of the conversation "The Nehru Ji". 


It’s almost like accountability has been outsourced to history.  

                                    

Think about it. Imagine India loses the World Cup, and Rohit Sharma is asked: “Why did we lose today?” And Rohit calmly replies: “Arre, Ganguly ke time bhi toh India haara tha.” 🤣 Would that be an explanation or just an excuse? Unfortunately, that’s exactly the standard of reasoning we get in politics today.  


Growth or Illusion?  

Yes, there is growth. But let’s be honest: economies grow organically over time. If another party were in power, there would still be growth of some kind. The real question isn’t about whether GDP graphs are moving up or down. The real question is: what kind of treatment are ordinary people getting? Is life becoming easier, fairer, more dignified? Or are people told to be satisfied with statistics while struggling in reality?  


The Masterstroke Distraction  

But here’s where the real political genius comes in—the distraction playbook.  

- Ask about unemployment, and suddenly the debate shifts to Hindu vs Muslim.  

- Talk about inflation, and immediately there’s a new campaign on Temple vs Mosque.  

- Question corruption, and overnight you’ll see breaking news about Pakistan or a debate over renaming a city.  

Religion has become the favorite toy to keep people permanently busy. Hate is sold in easy installments, packaged as patriotism, and consumed daily on primetime television. News channels don’t look like news anymore; they resemble a reality show called “Bigg Boss: Hindu vs Muslim Edition.”  


The Strategy of Anger  

Why this obsession with religious divides? Simple. When people are kept angry, they stop thinking logically. Anger takes over where reason should be. It’s easier to make a crowd chant slogans than to make them ask about jobs, healthcare, or education.  

So instead of answering, “Where are the jobs?” the reply becomes:  

"Look at that Aurangzeb Grave!"


Instead of addressing, “Why are prices so high?” the focus shifts to:  

"What’s your religion, what’s your identity?"  


The Punchline  

What we’re left with is a country where leaders promise to rectify history, while ordinary citizens just wish someone would rectify electricity bills, unemployment, and scams.  

Because at the end of the day, history lessons don’t pay the rent. Hate-filled headlines don’t bring food to the table. And time travel may be fun in movies, but in real life, it’s the worst excuse for not fixing the present.

Elisha and the Gold Beneath His Feet


Once in a quiet village, there lived a man named Elisha. All around his house flowed a river, deep and wide. 

Unknown to Elisha, beneath that riverbed lay a rich deposit of gold and precious stones—enough to transform his life and the lives of everyone in his community.

Elisha, however, was poor. Every morning, he would go to the neighboring town to beg for food. He struggled to pay his children’s school fees and often cried himself to sleep, wondering if God had forgotten him.

One day, a traveler passed through the village and saw Elisha scooping muddy water from the river.


“Do you live here?” the traveler asked.

“Yes,” Elisha replied, sighing. “For many years now.”

The traveler paused.Do you know what’s under this river? I am a geologist. 

There’s gold beneath your feet. You've been walking over wealth, begging while you're seated on abundance.”

Elisha stood frozen. For years, he had lived in suffering—not because provision wasn't made, but because he didn’t know it was there.

That day marked a turning point. With guidance, Elisha began to dig. Slowly, what was hidden became revealed, and his life changed forever.

Moral Lesson:

Lack of understanding turns abundance into affliction.

Nature has already made provision for your needs—your strength, wisdom, wealth, and purpose—but if you’re blind to these truths, you’ll suffer unnecessarily. 

Knowledge is not just power; it is freedom.

Just like Elisha, many people are seated on treasure but still struggle because they don’t know who they are or what they carry.


The moment light enters your heart, struggle begins to end. 

So pray not just for blessings, but for revelation.

Because once you know… you rise.
