No political party or the media has been able to come up with the answer to the question that everyone is tired of asking, “Where is Rahul Gandhi”.

The sudden disappearance could mean two things – either he is REALLY upset about Congress’ loss to BJP in the 2014 General Elections or he is diligently planning to come back hard at the ruling party in the 2019 General Elections.

We wish to rule out the past and the present here and instead focus on the future – the future of India under Congress, once again.

What if Congress wins and Rahul Gandhi becomes India’s next Prime Minister (or let’s crank it up a notch and assume him as a dictator)? Here’s a hypothetical evaluation of how things would be different than they are now under Narendra Modi’s regime –

Italian Would Be One of the Languages Taught in School

Italian would be taught in Indian schools

Being born to an Italian mother, Rahul is assumed to have emotional attachment to the language. Why not introduce it in Indian schools? Say goodbye to French and German.

MS Word Would Have Italics by Default

MS Word would have italics font as default

All Indians, who use MS Word on regular basis, would have their text style settings as italics. Italics font is fancier than normal text; so, makes sense.

Bomber Jacket Would Become a Style Accessory

Men would rely on bomber jacket to make a style statement

Rahul Gandhi incorporated bomber jacket to his everyday style staple, which was a Rajiv Gandhi trademark. Bomber jacket definitely has to be one of the biggest ironies on part of Rajiv Gandhi.

Investment in State-Of-The-Art Technology to Eradicate “Poverty”

Poverty would be eradicated via technology

Rahul Gandhi would definitely want to eradicate poverty, which he termed as a “state of mind” drawing criticism. His investment in technology would help change people’s mindset making them feel richer every day.

A Road or an Institution Will Be Named After Sonia Gandhi, Finally

Sonia Gandhi would have something named after her

No road or institution is named after Rahul Gandhi’s mother Sonia Gandhi. Most of his other family members have that honour. Rahul will make sure his mother gets the respect she deserves.

PM Modi’s and US President Barack Obama’s ‘Chai Pe Charcha’ at Hyderabad House on Sunday, January 25^th, was not only a comfortable and cosy setting with tea sets, roses and shamiana, it was also a style fiesta where our Prime Minister showcased his own personal branding in a woollen bandhgala with his complete name woven all across the stripes.

Yes! If you watch carefully the pictures of his suit he wore for tea talks that day, you will find ‘Narendra Damodardas Modi’ monogrammed in pin stripes all over his blue suit.

The bandhgala is reported to be designed by a store in Ahmedabad for men’s clothing, Jade Blue which has been Modi’s fashion stop for decades now and the owner of the store claimed to have stylised exclusively for the Prime Minister.

However, we have a style icon and a first-time Indian PM to wear a bandhgala with this monogrammic print, although several celebrities and even political leaders of other countries have worn similar styled clothing before. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak also tried this trademark style.

International brands like Burberry and Hermes fashion clothing for men have been much popular for these trends and have made it quite the in-thing.

However, Twitteratis have given mixed reactions to this trend of personalised styling by Modi, where some have praised him as an inspiring Fashion icon, especially representing the country while others have not accepted this too well and opponents have taken potshots at him calling him a narcissist and megalomaniac!

Modi wears a jacket with his name written all over. Is this megalomania or narcissistic personality disorder? Is this curable? #psychology

Designer Anand Bhushan has, on the other hand taken this personalized textile and style statement as an initiative for fresh branding motives. “Narendra Modi himself is clearly a bigger label than Gucci. Thus, he is wearing his own eponymous brand, with his name inscribed all over the outfit!”

While Modi greeted Barack Obama and Michelle Obama at the Palam airport in beige coloured kurta and bright orange shawl, he changed his attires all through the day and even went on to carry out an elaborate bandhni as a turban with a formal black suit. The tie-and-dye turban reflected his spirit of celebration for the Republic Day as it was red, green and orange coloured with white dots all over. Well, who would know better about the bandhni technique than PM Modi who has ruled the state of Gujarat for a decade before he was opted with majority votes for Prime Ministerial duties?

You might remember PM Modi’s turban styling during his Independence Day speech, which according to designer Manish Malhotra, “he wore with incredible panache and style.”

Designers would certainly be elated with PM’s sense of fashion and styling however, the suit was hand woven using the jacquard technique that would alone cost somewhere between Rupees 80,000 to Rupees Five lakhs, let alone the price of the fabric, labour and making charges.

Modi has always been popular for his short kurtas or kurtas with half sleeves and sleeveless jackets where the store, Jade Blue has been given the rights to use the Modi label for their sets of kurtas (‘Modi Kurtas’).

Even Obama seemed to be flattered with Modi’s style statement and claimed at the banquet meeting, raising a toast to India that he wants to buy at least the ‘Modi Kurta’ for himself.
