The best example industry that one can see that has exploited this aspect of the nation is the Entertainment industry - what with all the soaps and sagas that tend to whip up emotions of the audience to convey a message.

No doubt, there are other countries and people too who are emotional but for the Indian industry, this nature has been clearly highlighted so that businesses coming into the country understand how to milk this market.

What better demonstration of our psyche than the Lok Sabha TV broadcast of yesterday's trust vote proceedings.

You can thus imagine, if the representatives of the people are such an emotional lot, what would be the state of mind of the people they represent.

And mind you, in the term 'emotion', the term logic does not blend so easily and the term 'emotion' represents all shades of this human expression.

All of which were fully on display for the world audience to watch and measure the emotional intelligence and maturity levels of the representatives of this nation - a collective term that I state - 'Emotions Of India'

Since my main topic of interest, learning and sharing is related to emotional intelligence, I am able to easily connect with the emotional content of one's personality and learn by observation how they display this parameter of their personality.

Yesterday's proceedings starkly contrasted how well the educated and mature lot of the parliament were presenting themselves in an emotionally intelligent manner and how the immature, power hungry(another emotion) and probably the less educated class of representatives presented themselves in a totally chaotic manner.

Gentlemen - the term stands for people with superb reputation and presentation skills - emotionally intelligent people basically.

Dr. Manmohan Singh, our Hon. Prime Minister is one such individual I hold in VERY HIGH regard. An extremely emotional individual, he has the maturity and ability to present himself - however upset he would be - in a very dignified and calm manner. This in addition to his immense knowledge, experience and ability make him a person worth emulating and a role model. I would hold him in the topmost category of leaders our nation desperately needs more of.

Lalu Prasad Yadav our Hon. Railway Minister has carved a niche for himself in the Indian politics. This individual, however tainted he has been since the early 2000, when he actually shot into the limelight, has developed into an extremely affable and oratorial individual who, though not 100% emotionally intelligent, is able to make the most of the chances given to him. He would be a role model for his mannerisms and his ability to handle any situation thrown his way.

Rahul Gandhi is definitely worth a huge mention. This 70s generation of India representative is one individual who has matured tremendously with times.

If he gets a very positive response from today's mature young India, he should join the political arena because he has in him, the real vision of real India, the learnings and outlook of the current generation and the background of his political family.

I probably would join politics if he assumes leadership and asks for support from young India.

These 3 people represent probably a 180 deg. hemisphere of the circular spectrum of Emotional India.

and this article here brings forth some poignant observations on the whole deal...
