So, industrialist and close family friend (by his own admission) of Nehru-Gandhi clan, Rahul Bajaj interacting from the audience in a media event told the panel that consisted Home Minister Amit Shah that the nation under the present government has seen an atmosphere of fear in which there is a fear of speaking one’s true opinions to power.

HM Amit Shah replied stating that no one is punished under the Modi government for criticizing the establishment and in fact, it is against PM Modi and his government that the most opinion pieces were written.

When Amit Shah said that the very fact that the industrialist is expressing his disagreement on the occasion itself indicates that there is no such atmosphere of fear, Rahul Bajaj was seen clapping from the seat.

On the other hand, many social media users have thrown light on the fact that the revenue of Bajaj company has grown in recent years and questioned how did they manage it if there has been an atmosphere of fear.

Anyway, the scope of this article is not to question anyone on his individual credentials, but to look at what an ‘atmosphere of fear’ really looks like, especially when many people are throwing this term randomly.

Rahul Bajaj could openly throw criticism on the face of the Home Minister who was along with other senior ministers and claim that there was no such fear in UPA’s time.

Our perception only tells us good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative to everything in the world.

To notice good qualities and honesty in situations is considered positive thinking and to merely notice imperfection and worthlessness in everything is surely negative thinking.

Negative thoughts multiply bad qualities and give birth to fear, anger hatred, suspicion, sorrows, worry, intolerance, uncertainty, self-centeredness and hopelessness.

A person with a healthy mind always takes everything positive and also looks positivity in the other person’s opinion.

It is rightly said by Newton, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

There are many advantages of positive thinking; stress levels become less, there is a feeling of happiness and contentment in every situation, one is able to tackle problems without causing any tension because positive thinking gives the art of finding solutions to problems in a reasonable and practical manner, a person with positive thinking is never sad or disappointed, the capacity to work increases, patience and self confidence increases, positive encouragement makes a devil person a better person, the decision making capabilities also increases, a creative way of thinking develops, good relationships in the family and Society are maintained, there is a healthy development in one’s personality and character, one reaches the heights of success, each one of us have some exceptional qualities that others may not have and having a positive thinking gives us the power to recognize those qualities, a positive thinking increases the health-protecting hormones in the body that in turn strengthen the immune system and make us healthy.
