Ram Nath Kovind is the President of India. Like any other person who has entered the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Ram Nath Kovind too has quite a few firsts to his credit.
Ram Nath Kovind is the first RSS member to become the President of India.
Ram Nath Kovind is the first person from Uttar Pradesh to become the President of India.
Interestingly, Ram Nath Kovind has a couple of seconds also.
Ram Nath Kovind is the second Bihar Governor to become the President of India.
Ram Nath Kovind is the second Dalit person to become the President of India.
During the swearing in ceremony, Ram Nath Kovind looked visibly nervous. Ram Nath Kovind might have been overwhelmed by occasion.
The long journey from a Kanpur village mud house with thatched roof to the palatial and colossal building of the Rashtrapati Bhavan might have been running in his mind as a flashback film.
After having been administered the oath of secrecy by Chief Justice of India Justice JS Khehar, Ram Nath Kovind's predecessor Pranab Mukherjee shook hands with the new incumbent and directed him to his new seat.
At this point of time while Pranab Mukherjee looked emotional, Ram Nath Kovind appeared nervous. Ram Nath Kovind sat in the chair without signing on the oath papers. President's secretary had to tell him that he needed to sign in the register.
Ram Nath Kovind's hand was shaking profusely while signing on the register as mark of acknowledgement that he now held the highest office of the land. He completed the formalities for the top position in the country.
But, nervousness of the common man that he had been all through 71 years of his life was yet to subside. Ram Nath Kovind, after putting back the cap of the pen at its place, could not place his black pen with golden rings at its usual place at the top of his breast pocket.
Like a commoner, overwhelmed by the occasion, Ram Nath Kovind put his pen in his lower pocket on the right side of his executive coat. Just like any other commoner from Kanpur.
In his first speech as President, Ram Nath Kovind, too, remained the same old man. Among the nation builders, Kovind mentioned farm toilers. In the list, he burdened the tribals and ordinary citizens with the responsibility of saving humanity and life.
Kovind said, "Tribal and ordinary citizen striving to preserve our ecology, our forests and our wildlife is a nation builder." This is exactly what common man has been made to believe and think.
Ram Nath Kovind has come from the same stock of common man, who strives for life every day and keep one's life on track despite thousands of hiccups and hundreds of mini-rebellions of daily life-process.
As he represents and claims to be representing the common man in the most magnificent house for a head of state in the world, another common man in Kanpur or some other city, town and village would be hoping that Ram Nath Kovind will come of age as President of India and so shall the every other commoner in the country.
A Dalit must be hoping that when she walks out of her home next, she would be seen and treated as of the President's clan (and not vice versa).
A villager would be expecting that when Finance Minister of President Ram Nath Kovind frames his budge next time, a future President of India need not spend childhood in her thatched roof.
A farmer may be expecting that the next time a banker, a moneylender, a journalist, a district magistrate or a minister spots her tilling her farm must see her as a nation builder and bows.
A Muslim would like to believe that when Kovind referred to 125 crore Indians, she was kept in mind. And, the vice versa.
The Prime Minister, too, would be hoping that his party is no longer branded as anti-Dalit or Brahmin-dominated party.
And, Ram Nath Kovind may be hoping that he would be allowed to be a copy-book President and go by the rule book as he did as the Governor of Bihar.
