Rahul's BharatJodoYatra

Jealousy, one of the most acidic emotions, is the central theme of Shakespeare’s Othello. Throughout the play, this “green-eyed monster” drives characters’ malicious actions, with nearly all—except a few like Desdemona and Cassio—falling under its sway. Othello is a classic example of how fear and low self-esteem breed jealousy in the human mind. Iago, perhaps the most villainous character in literature, orchestrates the destruction of many lives in this tragic play. When I think of Rahul Gandhi, Shakespeare’s Othello often comes to mind. Like Desdemona and Cassio, Rahul is a victim of jealousy. The fear within the Sangh Parivar of his charismatic and gentlemanly persona has led them to portray him in a negative light. Yet, truth cannot remain veiled forever. Rahul’s purity of soul shines through his demeanor and actions, and women, who often intuitively understand men, feel safe and comfortable in his presence. His interactions with the public, particularly women, reveal him to be an evolved individual—a rare gem in politics. His compassion and care cut through the torrent of hatred directed at him. The Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul’s remarkable endeavor, is a healing touch for India’s fractured soul. Walking the length and breadth of a vast country like India is no small feat.
