Power, the differences in this meaning and interpretation of Power has always been a long debated subject. Recently ‘Forbes Power List’ was released and their definition of Power is quite a bit shocking to many.
‘Power has been called many things. The ultimate aphrodisiac. An absolute corrupter. A mistress. A musical instrument. But its true nature remains elusive. Can one really compare the influence of a journalist with that of a terrorist? And is power unexercised, power at all?,’ this is how they look Power from their angle.
It is also quite embarrassing may be even to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who was calmly placed at 36th rank in the power list covering the whole world just above the Mafia Don Dawood Ibrahim who ranked 50. Does featuring international criminals and terrorists in a list that is usually populated with a person whom others aspire is a good thing? Does it in any way cheapen the list? Does it send out the right message to people?
Various premier personalities in India have given their different versions to it. But, the fact remains that, it was the question for Indian’s “Mafia Don Dawood Ibrahim Vs Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.”
