POLITICAL SYCOPHANCY ~CHAMCHAGIRI !
The ever vogue art of political sycophancy has been integral part of Indian polity since decades.Ever ready to crawl when asked just to bend,epitome of appeasement-cajolement-sycophancy [all in one] politicians along with their respective rank and file have been always there on the stage,though faces of real life actors have exchanged their places from time to time,strictly in accordance to their vested interests,convenience and ulterior motives. They have perfected 'science' of chamachagiri to the extent that they always find themselves well placed on the right side of executive kursi. The chamch culture has survived with innovative excellence irrespective of political tags and ideologies [if any].During infamous days of emergency [1975],Deba Kant Barruah was there to eulogize Indira Gandhi with innovative slogan-Indira is India,India is Indira and today in 21st century we have got Hiren Pathak with his brand new political innovation-Modi is India,India is Modi. Accordingly,following tradition,glorification of the personality cult and larger than life personification of Modi ji is virtually order of the day.
The Indian politician is always peculiar when compared to his fellow politicians world over.The average Indian politician likes to be flattered.The degree of flattery or the height to which it reaches depends on the party to which he belongs to and to which part of India he hails from.The south Indian politicians especially from Tamilnadu and Andhra are adept and amusive in taking sycophancy to great heights,Sychophancy makes them feel happy and brings pleasure to them. On the other hand candour earns their wrath easily.This may be because, fanatic hero worship of the tinsel world is so common in these two states.In these two states there are many film star-turned politicians and sycophancy is also handed down as a legacy from their past connections.Those who want to become their favourites choose the sycophacy route to be in their good books. Of late the sycophancy level has reached new heights and is nauseating.The distressing part of this servility is that many new comers to politics and new political outfits also take this as a benchmark and resort to this kind of subservience to reach their goals.The degree of sycophancy is measured by its size and how large it is.One can guess the size of the sycophancy by the size of the garland. The more it is, bigger are the sycophants
