Post of 2nd September 2022
USSR was dissolved on 26 December 1991 and its last leader, Gorbachev died on 30 August 2022. Thirty years later, President Putin of Russia again became expansionist in the Ukraine like the old Soviet Union and created an energy crisis bigger than 1970s.
In 1973, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia changed the world by applying oil embargo on America and the Western countries, those who supported Israel during the Yom Kippur War.
In 1971 after the independence of Bangladesh, Indira Gandhi was called goddess Durga but Mrs Gandhi was removed from power by the violent JP movement in 1977. The JP agitation gave India, hundreds of new political leaders. Those leaders formed Janata Party as an alternative to challenge pro-Soviet Congress Party.
In 1979, China gave up its Marxist revolution and made a written friendship with America. The Soviet Union saw the developments in India and China as its shrinking power in Asia. President Brezhnev invaded Afghanistan in 1979, showing a false KGB report to its Politburo members.
Saudi Arabia, which had ended its diplomatic relations with USSR in 1938 supported America and Europe in Afghanistan and forced the Soviet Union to flee Kabul in 1989. Consequently, the Soviet Empire was dissolved on Christmas day in 1991 and the 15 independent countries rose from the ashes of the Soviet Union.
Next 25 years, United States remained the world’s super power after break up of USSR. In 2008, Barack Obama became President of America and he started the Arab Spring to destabilise Arab worlds in 2011. In India, Obama also successfully installed BJP in power in 2014.
Seeing Obama’s destructive attitude in Asia, China made Xi Jinping its President in 2013 and King Salman of Saudi Arabia asked Putin to enter Syrian War in August 2015.
In 1980, the Janata Party imploded in different fashion, every leader formed its own Kingdom in each state. The Mandal castes tasted its success and other higher castes started Kamandal agitation in the name of Babri Masjid. The era of coalition government in India started because no party could garner enough support as alternative to Congress Party. In 2014, BJP got majority on its own and formed government under the leadership of a successful right-wing leader.
#The energy crisis of the 1970s weakened Europe, broke up the Soviet Union, America made China the world’s largest manufacturing hub, the Middle East became the world’s largest energy centre and gave jobs to millions of people around the world, Marxism paradigm vanished.
#Now the energy crisis of 2020s will create inflation, unemployment, social unrest, the character of right-wing leaders will end, capitalism and the era of privatization will end, the era of public sector will be new norms, Asia age will begin, Africa will develop, American democracy and the way of life will be threatened by extremism.
The world of 2050 would look back on the early 2020s as a significant turning point for a wider shift in the foundations of world geopolitics.
#Conclusion: The majority of Indians overlook that the history tells us the blind loyalty to a single leader and the willingness to engage in political violence is always failed the countries in the past. Thus the “changes are inevitable in India”
