Sri Sudershan reddy :Why the Underdog matters in race to VP

🥊 Why the Underdog Matters: Sri Sudershan Reddy vs Sri Radhakrishnan

Politics often feels like a numbers game—but every now and then, an underdog steps into the ring and reminds us that democracy is about more than arithmetic.

The 2025 Vice-Presidential race is one such moment:

  • CP Radhakrishnan (NDA) → Backed by a strong majority, likely winner.

  • Justice B. Sudershan Reddy (INDIA bloc) → Retired Supreme Court judge, slim chance of victory… but a powerful symbol.

So, why root for the underdog when the odds look stacked?

✨ 1. Symbol Over Strength

Reddy isn’t a career politician. He represents law, integrity, and fairness. His candidacy says: “Democracy is not just about power, it’s about principle.”

📢 Shareable takeaway: Sometimes the loudest message is sent by the quietest contender.

🌏 2. South vs. South Drama

For the first time, it’s a Tamil (Radhakrishnan) vs. Telugu (Reddy) contest. This isn’t just Delhi deciding Delhi—it’s Southern pride on national display.

📢 Shareable takeaway: From Chennai to Hyderabad, the South is calling the shots.

💪 3. The Underdog’s Real Victory

Underdogs often lose the title—but win the conversation. Reddy’s entry ensures debate, dissent, and democracy don’t disappear behind an NDA landslide.

📢 Shareable takeaway: Losing the vote ≠ losing the moment.

🌱 4. A Lesson for All of Us

Anyone who has ever felt outnumbered, underestimated, or ignored knows what it means to cheer for the underdog. Reddy’s courage to contest is itself a form of victory.

📢 Shareable takeaway: Showing up against the odds is power in itself.

🚀 Final Word

Sure, CP Radhakrishnan may walk away with the Vice-Presidency. But Justice Sudershan Reddy walks away with something equally valuable—the story of resistance, hope, and courage.

PhD at 50 and above- My thoughts on Possibilities of survival

Image
I finished my Doctorate (so-called Ph.D.) in 2022 at 50 and worked as a faculty in two universities, one deemed to be a university in the central north part of India and the other, a renowned private university in the Southwest Bay part of India. It looks like I am renewing my life, but that is far from the truth. Renewing happens only when the nation's system is free from corruption, unpredictable delays, mismanagement, and unnecessary changes, but with the current situation, changes happening through out at macroscopic levels and many microeconomy survivals finding it difficult, it is a distant vision. First of all, Was I sane, starting my Ph.D. (at that time FPM) which was a more friendly titular program) in supposed to be one of India's premier institutes., maybe to some extent. Otherwise, I would not have sat and stayed, studied full time in a research institute filled up with geek's perplexities and painstaking even during COVID-19, completing my thesis in a completel...
