A Wing Named "Sue"

There is a Johnny Cash song "Boy Named Sue". The song is about a boy who is named "Sue" by his absconding father, and as a result he has to face mockery throughout his youth. Boy, justifiably enraged swears vengenance on his father, but when he finally meets him, his father explains that he named him "Sue", so that he will grow tough and survive in the world without his father.


Now it is highly doubtful that Modi has actually heard of this song, but the way incipient RW has been cold shouldered in the last 7 years, it seems Modi has actually derived his philosophy from fugitive father. I do not know the exact reason for this treatment, though I have read Modi is not willing to create patronage network, without which any worthwhile ecosystem cant be created.

At any rate upshot of this is that RW ecosystem is forced to be "Aatmanirbhar", relying on its own resources or that it can raise for survival. Whether this will make right wing tough in the long run is anyone's guess.
