Celebrating Life ! Celebrating LK Advani !

As the power struggle between two fledging and non-compromising partners Shivsena and BJP reach its concluding phase, the Eternal Laxman of Indian Politics and former Deputy Prime Minister it India Shri Lal Krishna Advani quietly turns 92 today.

The patriarch who was once was called the second ‘Loh Purush’ of India, today finds himself isolated and out of current media focus and widely treated as a retired head of the BJP.

The BJP, which was once known as untouchable RSS face of the politics had two soldiers in Vajpayee and Advani who weathered the storm and humiliation of having only 2 MPs in Parliament and the younger of the two even struggling to find a safe Loksabha seat for himself. 

With no third option available, Advani took it on himself to dedicate the party for the cause of Ramlalla and BJP rose a Phoenix flight to land itself as an opposition party with a substance. As the party grew, so did the stature of the party and when the opportunity was there to lead the government, a true Laxman in Advani ensured that the Ram of BJP, Vajpayee was made the Prime Minister.

Sacrificing himself all his life and taking a backseat became the norm for this grand old man of Indian Politics. With his protégée NaMo taking over a center stage, the last sacrifice saw Advani leaving the reins and decisions of the party to a younger generation. Whether the back seat was on his own or party’s call will always remain a close secret with the grand old man and that’s how the real Advani was, is and will remain forever.

The journey which started from Karachi, Pakistan where Advani jee was born, to lead a life as a political leader and then finding himself in jail for an emergency is a life worth respecting and adoring. He might be targeted for not going to jail during the freedom struggle, but there is nothing sadder than going to jail in your own independent country, for the cause of having an opinion which the people in power don’t seem to agree with.

When all the current politicians fight for their legacy, piece of power and push nepotism, here is the man who will always be remembered for his selflessness, integrity and being one of the most disciplined politicians of all time. 

May we all wish him good health and thank him for whatever he has done to make India, a better place to live .

Happy Birthday to Advani jee 🙏🙏🙏 Respect 🙏🙏🙏 🙇‍♀️ 🙇‍♂️
