Foreign Diplomats Land in God's Own Constituency (Varanasi)
Varanasi April 21. Foreign diplomats are on diplomatic pilgrimage to Varanasi to assess the mood of the voters.It is matter of debate whether UN charter and Vienna convention are applicable to Varanasi, a city resting on trident of Lord Shiva, so de facto, not part of the earth.. And we Banarasis simply dismiss the so called de jure notion. Nevertheless since Vatanasi is like an ever expanding universe , they are all welcome. Adi Shankar proclaimed ,"Varanasi Medini". Even counter culture prophet Kabir declared,
" sabai bhumi Banarsi " ( All land, under the sky, is Varanasi)
I found foreign diplomats of more aware of the political dynamics of India than many of media celebrities. I just mention assessment of a diplomat of the outcome of 2014 Lok Sabha elections:
1- Narendra Modi +(minimum seats) 220-230
2- Narendra Modi +( wave figure) 250-270
3- Hope- not to depend on the support of nagging political parties
The figures more or less match the opinion poll surveys.
