Shamefull, Disgusting, Black spot on Democratic setup-These words are not enough.

Today Indian Parliament is in pitiable insane condition.

The Indian democracy has seen many many days where any or all parties have been guilty of not letting the Parliament function. The abusive language, snatching mikes, throwing chairs and all sorts of disgusting things  have happened in the temple of democracy and over the years most of us if not all have started to take it as normal. All the political parties over the years have maintained that this is one of the ways to show your disagreement with whatever is happening in the house. Specially when the governing parties or the governing coalitions try to introduce new bills or amendments without consulting the house. Though There is the obvious political side to this.

Politicians and political parties have time and again used these sort of non democratic and ill-will methods to gain advantages or harm the political opponents. I am sure that non of the parties that are there can claim to be clean with respect to adjourning the house as and when they like or they require to. The Indian National Congress has done this to shield its Members of parliament whenever they were caught in some sort of scam or corruption or crime. The opposition has also been interrupting house for years. In fact the current government may have seen most number of hours to have been ruined due to the chaos in house.

All said and done there had not been a worst day in the functioning of the house than today. The Respected Members of Parliament today did it all. From spraying pepper, kick-boxing each other, attacking each other with mikes (some saw them as knife), braking tables and snatching day's schedule from speaker's table. The most unbelievable fact is that the chaos was not created by any opposition party member but the ones who belong to the ruling party. 

 

The script had already been prepared by the governing coalition yesterday when they introduced the interim railway budget in a house full of chaos. The political critics had not yet finished criticizing the unusual incident and today all this occurs. The management skills of the UPA had already been under the scanner for days and they had been blamed to have staged this drama where nothing seems to be under control. One should not forget that these people belong to same party that supposedly has the most strict central command in the hands of Gandhi Family.

I have intentionally avoided touching upon the so called central or main issue "Telangana" as it has no significance with respect to the standards we have reached in terms of functioning of the Democratic setup.

The honorable speaker has already suspended the 17 members of parliament who were involved in this shameful act. Meanwhile the parties have started to give it a political color of their liking.

It remains to be seen if country still has to suffer more until the next election or weather all this is actually because of the upcoming elections. I as one of the Indian citizens can only pray that nothing of this sort is ever ever ever repeated again it the future.

Indian politics- Rahul gets aggressive, is it for General Elections?

India is getting into real clear politics for next general elections and Rahul Gandhi prepares himself for next power transaction.

Government loses it to 1.2 billion-  

Finally after the immense pressure from all sides the government had to step back on its decision to fight for culprits and allow them easy access to elections and other democratic processes. The government was hell-bent on providing the politicians an escape root so that they could participate in the elections despite having being proven criminals and corrupts.

Government tried to support crime and culprits-

The event took place because Indian Supreme court gave an arrangement ( directive) in which it prohibited the politicians from participating in any elections provided they have been proven guilty by a court. The honorable court also made the arrangement that all those who have been sentenced for more than or equal to two years of imprisonment would automatically stand disqualified from the house of elected representatives. 

But knowing the political parties in India, we knew that they will all get together to negate the decision. The party in power began its efforts to facilitate the inclusion of corrupt into the parliament and the rest followed the procession. There was not even a single political party that stood against the (in-haste) ordinance that was brought about by the UPA government. Despite the fact that there was a bill pending in house on the same subject the government decided to go ahead with the ordinance and if fact was successful in passing it without even putting it for a in-house discussion.

 Indian President proves he not a mere RUBBER STAMP-

The Ordinance reached the president for his signatures so that it can be formally adopted as a legal framework. Fortunately our President somehow came to understand the illegalities associated with the ordinance and he summoned some top ministers from the government and explained to them the difficulties and also advised them for a reconsideration.
Meanwhile the common man also began to express its concerns about an ordinance that stood between him and a fair and cleaner system. The media also came into its own and protested against the awful manner in which the government tried to function. All these incidents made it difficult for the government to justify its stand on corruption.

Rahul wanted to prove that he is a opt-able leadership option for voters-

And them came the much unexpected intervention from party prince Rahul Gandhi. The often deaf and dumb congressman suddenly appeared in a press conference and called the ordinance passed by his own men a complete nonsense. He wanted the ordinance to be torn up and thrown into a dustbin. Some said he insulted his own seniors and others said he should have echoed his views before it was sent to President office.

Whatever was the reason for his intervention, the result was worth being welcomed. The government in a tea ceremony meeting decided within half hour to withdraw the ordinance along with pending bill. The bill that required great great Mr. Kapil Sibbal and Mr. Chidambram days to be layed down was worth only half hour discussion? Well it was not even worth that but the people who were behind this did not resist the party supreme leaders to any extent whatsoever.

Its individuals and dynasties that run the country, not political parties and public representatives- 

This incident shows that provided the top leadership of our political system take a firm stance on issues related to any field we can expect welcome-able outcomes. The unfortunate (irony) has been that non of the top leaders ever seemed to be in control of things and country went into a leadership crises. I am not bailing out Rahul Gandhi as very good leader but pointing out towards the years he has lost as a party kid who is still under training and observation of the so called great party members who were good for nothing for last five years. Had Rahul or Manmohan or Soniya taken such stance on issues in past the country and its economy would not have suffered the way it did.

The hardcore truth is that its Election times once again-

But wait, isn't it the time for next General elections? So does it mean Rahul Gandhi is playing for the gallery? He must be aware of his party's poor situation and may have even understood the currents. And now he wants to project himself as a leader with some leadership qualities. It is getting very clear with every passing day as he becomes more and more outspoken and aggressive with every second press conference and political rally. In this succession he recently decided to take on the BSP supremo Mayavati and blamed her for hijacking the minorities and their movement. Not only that he even wanted to underplay or negate the corruption that his government has been a part of by saying that it was his party and the government that gave common man biggest tool against corruption - RTI.
One needs to remind him of entire process of this legal framework formulation. Also he needs to explain why his party wants to dilute the RTI by keeping political parties out of its reach. He needs to be reminded of how his party lead government overturned the Supreme court judgment which said that all political parties should come under the RTI. They passed the ordinance and handpicked themselves as some one who won't be questionable under RTI. Is there a big really big bank account that exists in Swiss banks by the account holder name written as - Indian National Congress? Or is it named after the Dynasty surname Gandhi?

Indian politics - Biggest opportunist Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Mulayam Singh proves that he is the pure opportunist in Indian politics.

Mulayam Singh Yadav has started cooing his favorite tunes again. He has been trying his level best to somehow create that illusive third front in Indian politics. He tried it in the year of Indian Presidential election when he tried to lure in TMC supremo Mamta for a tie up after she decided to quit the partnership with UPA.  Both these leaders were supposed to be cooking up a different dish of their own during the previous Presidential elections. But at the very last moment Yadav decided to back the UPA candidate Pranab Mukharji who eventually became Indian President.  Poor Mamta was left ditched thinking about her plans to disturb the central government that had pushed her aside because of her frequent interferences with the functioning of different ministries.

Mulayam has shown this dwindling non-credible character too many times in the past. He can change his manifesto and party themes over-night with respect to any issue. He did it during nuclear deal. He did it during the FDI bill episode by abstaining the voting in parliament. His party supported the congress election time populist Food bill.  He and his men have bailed out the UPA government on so many occasions. In fact there are not many political parties in India that Mulayam does not favour. And hence every time Mulayam comes close to another elections he begins his efforts to tie-up with any of the political parties in India. The only political party that seems distant to his ambitions is BJP.

 Mulayam is one of those Indian politicians who don't bother about what people think about India and keep doing their best to somehow grab those powerful positions in the democratic setup. He named his party as Smajwadi Party but the way every one from his family gets the MP tickets and becomes minister of even chief minister just because he or she is a Yadav, shows you his type of politics clearly. The huge upsurge in the crime and corruption rates in his own state under his son's rule shows the kind of people that thrive under his protection and leadership. His is the same party that sacks an honest IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal and then defends the decision without any regrets. The senior ministers in his Utter Pradesh are being directly connected to the staging of recent riots in Utter Pradesh and the father and son duo (Mulayam and Akhilesh Yadav) honor the involved people with the grand dinner and lunches.

So here comes yet another such attempt from this Utter Pradesh minority politician. He is now claiming that his party will be making an alliance with Prakash Karat's left and might even make a government without the unwanted involvement of any of National parties, namely BJP and Indian National Congress. One must remember how he has been used and utilized by this UPA for its in-house majority purposes time and again while showing him the CBI stick constantly. So now he wants to manage his carrier without the blessing from the congressmen.

He may have guessed out that UPA has gone terribly wrong with its scams and corruption stories and it won't be able to come back to the center with any majority. In which case the BJP led NDA might be at the helm of affairs and which further could spell trouble for his CBI cases. He has been let off the hook by CBI for the time being. This might be the prize for his loyalties towards the current government. But as soon as BJP will get this tool CBI Mulayam is surely going to be one of the first to suffer the political heat.

Therefore this clever(actually clever than a wolf) Indian politician wants to make some timely arrangements. He might be dreaming of a situation where both the central parties and their respective fronts don't get enough votes for the formation of government and he along with his friends from the LEFT could make some kind of an odd arrangement in Delhi after the General elections.
Yes it is exactly as difficult as it was for me to write down the above jumble words. I had to arrange and rearrange the long sentence by grouping up those too many words in one line. Similarly Yadav needs to group up the parties that have totally different ideologies. But after all his day dreaming I am very much confident while saying that there was no third front in Indian politics and their won't be any in near future.

The regional politicians are more worried about their own carrier than the democracy of our country. The likes of Mulayams, Mayavatis and Lalus are who are responsible for the rapidly decreasing popularity of this democratic setup. All these regional stalwarts started out as representatives for different sections of society but ended up representing their own political ambitions and hiding wrong doings. May God bless them all with appropriate punishment for their selfish deeds.

5 reasons why Voters can't vote for a Narender Modi.

Narendra Modi may have done wonders for Gujarat But is he worth the leading our nation?

1.  Narendra is after all an individual who would be contesting for one or two seats during upcoming General Elections. He surely can't be a candidate for every parliament-seat in this country. The way his party is projecting him and only him, makes me think if there is no other face in this right wing political party that is worth leading us or even worth being discussed? The prime-ministerial candidate can not be the only issue for me to vote for. The local representatives of party must also be alive and active so that I can chose someone out of them. This is not the presidential election in USA where your votes might directly decide the leader of the country. We have already once paid price for voting for an identity, Soniya Gandhi. In the 2003 elections she was projected as sure prime ministerial candidate but whatever happened thereafter was like cheating the voters who voted for her term as prime minister.
2.  The country went through a lot during last five years. We saw all kinds of corruption issues, agitations, neglected reforms, encroaching neighbors and above all economic slow down. There are a lot more such important issues that one needs answers for but unfortunately Narendra Modi's divergent strategies are making all these issues secondary to his aura. We know that the political parties in India have not stood up for anything all this while and therefore the non-existent issue of Hinduism was tossed up. They can't afford to talk about real issues so they created issues. I won't put entire blame solely on BJP for such irrelevant politics, the statements that were issued by our Home minister and other men in power were also deliberately directed so as to facilitate this diversion. Our Home minister coined new terms like saffron terrorism and unfair targeting of minorities just to make sure he won't have to talk about his own government's performance for last five years. Conclusion- We don't bother about who our prime ministerial candidate is, but we are more worried about the issues that should be raised for somewhat relevant elections. 
3.  Narendra Modi comes out of a state that experienced hell. The 2002 earth
   
   quake was one of the biggest tragedies that Humanity suffered at the beginning of this century. No doubt Narendra has done some good work in rehabilitation of the devastated society but we have to remember the riots as well. I am no one to blame him for whatever happened. But as a chosen leader of that state one expected him to answer a few questions. Narendra Modi should name the culprits of the massacre (and should already have delivered justice by putting them behind the bars but...) . He should have clarified his position on his alleged role in all this. Till date there is no conclusion to the matter and news-stories about investigation being hampered and tempered with keep coming out of Gujarat. His interference with state Governor's appointment and functioning and his poor Jan-Lokpal bill give the wrong signals about his political thoughts regarding reforms.  If BJP wants the voters to overlook one or two mistake of its supreme leader still the fact that all the success that Narendra has is linked to one state out of 28 states and 7 union territories is an issue. How well and how widely the other parts of our country know and follow Modi type politics still remains unanswered. Narendra has traveled to a few election rallies outside his state and the results don't seem encouraging for him at the national level.
4. The BJP has suffered due to internal friction among different groups that either existed for years or began with Modi's promotion to the leader-board. This raises the question if Narendra Modi will behave like one man army in
   
   power? Obviously its impossible for any individual to take care of a country without much support. Earlier We saw an annoyed Yediurappa falling away from party and he made his own party thus weakening his party in the south where it struggles to make an impact apart from Shivraj performing in one state. Lal Krishna Adwani is very well known for his anti Modi thoughts and his own dreams of leading the country one day. The party seems to be dealing with its stalwarts with different measuring tapes. What if these biggies decide to further bifurcate the unit and cause Modi to lose the much needed majority in Parliament? We as voters don't feel confident about BJP as a party. Its dwindling stand on issues like FDI and Jan-Lokpal have already done enough harm to the party image.
5. Narendra Modi is known as aggressive leader and his recent remarks about international issues make him an instant hit in a country which lacks leaders with some back-bone. The way he puts NATION FIRST is the USP of brand Narendra Modi. But I can't forget that this fire-brand politician is still listed as negative character in some countries that deny him any visa. I can't and I won't compare him with any terrorist (who is most likely to be forbidden a visa) but I also don't want to see my Prime-Minister on some hit-list. The international community still sees Narendra Modi as a hardliner who could be dangerous for their social structure and I as a voter cant invest my valuable vote in such a doubtful character.

Narendra Modi since his coronation as BJP prime ministerial candidate has gained in popularity and there are no two ways about it. But the kind of politics he and his party are imposing on the voters is something that might not suit each and every voter. He has done some brilliant things in Gujarat but his real acid test is yet to be conducted. He is the bulldozing name that not only can destroy any opposition but can also create a havoc in his own surroundings as well. As a voter who puts India First I am still waiting for his view(apologies) for the riots. But as we all know Modi, he is not here to change his image and wants to ride a wave that according to me is slowly understanding him in and out very well.

Politics Offers The Best Carrier - An Indian Citizen's Top Carrier Choice

 The politics in India seems to be the easiest thing you could chose as a carrier. Well at least that is what current political drama proves. You are as always in lime-light and people around you are eager to listen to your great agendas. You are allowed to hijack any serious discussion towards blame games. You enjoy royal salutes wherever you go.

 The work that you are supposed to handle is anything but easy. Here you would dress up in all-white dress codes (hiding every black spot under it) walk towards the special rajdoot and off you go for another really heated up discussion of country's interest. Now you reach the Temple of Democracy Parliament and perform daily rituals like knowing days programs and protocols.

 As soon as you enter the temple you already now the situation that its going to be another holiday. Some of your respected colleagues would offer you the opportunity to create mess out of it and you won't hesitate in obliging. The best part is you could avoid all this discomfort and decide well in advance not to take part in any such HEATED UP discussions by not being present.

 This is not all, if you are criticized and questioned directly your special rights come for your rescue and you can make the questioning people frightened by letting them know about the consequences of their daring acts. Even then some might still continue through agitations and hunger strikes, just ask them to move to UNO and complain about these domestic issues there.

Now there has been one more innovation recently invented by politicians in India , anyone of you or your colleagues could request the supreme chairperson to adjourn it for the day politely and he is supposed to oblige. The reason for this could be anything from your liking, disliking to the mood you are in.

Just for a moment compare the situation with those tough school days and imagine yourself walking up to your class teacher; you tell him/her that the whole class has decided to create some really huge noise so teacher should abandon the classes for the day. I am sure you would say-That would have been fetal  suicidal and so on.......!  But that's exactly what today's politics offers you. And to add icing to the cake your teacher would have had said- OK as you wish!

So, what do you think about such a carrier? OK so you give a nod and won't mind becoming next great politician for our country. All I want to say is best of luck!

 Here comes that old enemy of mine ??????????? Yes yet another series of question marks that looms my head. Can you please answer any of these as possibly you are already a man of great thoughts and agendas and understand the real politics-

• We spend around Rs 20,000 per minute to run The Parliament, what is the outcome of this investment?
• Who is (if any) wasting this money on daily bases and is he questioned for the waste.
• Does there exist any code of conduct political parties in India for smooth functioning of Parliament,yes or no why?; is it needed or not?
• Can you calculate roughly the percentage of total time being devoted to quality discussion and to the disruptions?
• Are these disruption well planed with mutual consensuses to facilitate safe exit roots and cover the loop holes?
• Who is ruling us?- Party Politics?, Democratic representatives?, Politicians or The corrupt & corruption itself?  
• This list might prove to be endless, Do you also want add some questions to the above?

A Saint's Story- Its Moral, And Political Parties In India

Today I was going through some of the old stuff-documents and came across this piece of paper that I had Kept(carefully) long time ago. This paper piece had a story written over it, that was once narrated by a Saint. I read it once more and found it interesting especially in today's political context. So here I am with the story and hope readers will enjoy it.

It was cold and harsh dawn of winters in Himalayas. The conditions were almost inhabitable for living organisms. Although almost all birds from those higher ranges had already migrated to lower places, but there was a small bird staying back perhaps unaware of toughness of Himalayas.

As usual, it had been raining throughout the long winter night and the peaks accumulated some heavy snow overnight.

Images Of Birds

The bird saw this whole beautiful scenario and childishly started enjoying the beauty. He decided to have a look around and was just about to fly-away in this absolute white world.

Presidential Polls-Dr. APJ Kalam Opts-Out.

Dr. APJ Kalam finally decided to stay out of the current race for (Raisena Hills) Presidential Polls. He today announced his decision that he is not going to contest for a second term.

Before this statement S. Kulkarni, a BJP politician went to Kalam's residence to convince him but Kalam remained unmoved.

Even after Kalam had announced his decision, Kulkarni went to see him(Kalam) again and discussed the matter; and came back to BJP core group meeting.This time also BJP did not give any signs of Kalam reverting his decision.

It was reported that today's BJP core group meeting was about party internal issues(like fragmentation of party in Himachal) and was not about Presidential Polls.

The media also reported that BJP has talked to Mamta benerji about PA Sangma's name(as her favorite Kalam is not contesting) and might consider him as their unified candidate.

Meanwhile there were rumors of TMC parting ways with central government and it was said that all six central TMC ministers have submitted their resignations to Mamta. But all this was later disapproved by one of the ministers.

Looking at all developments so-far Pranab is still the undefeated candidate and might as well run home(Raisena hills) unchallenged. 

Presidential Polls-A State Of Confusion

The Presidential Polls in India are getting more and more confusing for the political parties in India. With Pranab as its firm leading candidate Indan National Congress might have relaxed a bit but its main opposition is still undecided.

NDA even after good number of meetings over the issue have not decided on its candidate.

If NDA decides to go with Kalaam, it might get close to important West Bengal political party TMC and thus might find some ground there in 2014 elections.

But it also means NDA will have to move away from the southern India's Political Parties who have already given their support to P A Sangma.

Meanwhile Congress has also got critics lined against Pranab for his alleged involvement in face saving of corrupt and black money culprits.

Arvind Kejriwal an activist against corruption in India, Ram Jaith Malani and few others have already started opposing Pranab's candidature.

NDA has scheduled their meeting for 9:00 PM tonight. Whether this time they will come out with final decision is still not clear. Their different leaders meanwhile have been trying to convince Kalaam to contest.

On the other side ShivSena is also going to to meet up today over the same issue. Effect of which might also effect NDA decision.   

Presidential Polls-Pranab Leading Candidate

Pranab Mukharji finally got his name proposed by UPA chairperson Soniya Gandhi for upcoming Presidential Polls. With this the three day long chaos of naming a candidate and supporting him reached a stage where Pranab is now expected to come out victorious.
 The 4:00 PM meeting was thus a successfull one for Congress as one of their main opponents changed mind and decided to support UPA candidate. Mulayam had already indicated his will to support UPA nominee indirectly and he did that. With SP party supporting UPA there is little or no chance for any other candidate to contest and win the polls.
  TMC supremo Mamta Benerji is still claiming to have a few cards up-sleeves and said the game has not ended yet and it is just a beginning. But mathematically even she might be aware of the fact that UPA has got there candidate through to the Riasena Hills.
 The opposition had already stated that they would be waiting for UPA to declare first and have not till now given there view about Pranab's name. Now with Pranab's  name being almost a winner there is possibility of NDA giving him unanimous victory and may be in turn have their candidate(if any) be selected as vice-President. Tomorrow is yet again an important day for these Presidential Polls as NDA and AIDMK are supposed to decide their way-forward.     

Presidential Polls-Mulayam Holds The Key

The tough exercise of selecting much discussed candidate is still on and making those with low FITNESS run out of it. The king maker yesterday was Mamta Benerji but by the morning the game changed on its head as now Mulayam's inclination towards UPA is becoming more evident. So from hear onwards Mulayam is in commanding position and will decide who becomes our next President.
 The process of endless meetings of UPA is still on and today for the first time NDA alliance also met over the same issue. We have not yet decided our candidate and will keep closely following the events that unfold during this whole chaos,senior NDA leader LAl Krishan Advani said after meeting was over. He also treid to gain some profit out of issue by saying that this is probably second highest conflicted Presidential Poll after 1969 where congress Leaders back then had deliberately made their own party candidate lose the contest.
 There is stron possibility of congress declaring Pranab as its final name by this evening after their meeting scheduled to be held at 4 PM is over. So I shall come back with a discussion over the declared name. And if it is Pranab then I have got some serious opposition to that(will tell you about that only if he is named). I know own disliking for him won't hamper his chances but there is a question that I want him to answer to Indian citizens.
  

Indian Presidential Election Now Becomes A War Of Egoes

This time it was Soniya's turn to turn down names proposed by Mamta Benerji And Mulayam Yadav. As I said earlier that Mamta and Mulayam had proposed Manmohan Singh for the elections and it surely was a googly bowled at congress and we new to some extent the outcome too. But Congress supremo today turned down the names of other two suggestions too, and repeated that party is still backing Pranab Mukharji.
 This in turn has initiated an indirect ego war in-between congress and TMC, where TMC Supreme leader said this evening she is not frightened by any threats from Congress Party and expressed strong will to stand by A P J Kalaam's name.
 This came right after a Congress leader had blamed Mamta of blackmailing the coalition and taking undue advantage. This straight head-on fight between congress and Left gave signals of Left preparing itself as third front for upcoming 2014 elections. Whether this new and awkward coalition will survive till then is another question that needs to be taken into account too.
 Today a long(about one and half hour) meeting of UPA (TMC and SP not involved) had happened on this same issue and the end result was still not reached(not declared to media) .
 By the time this meeting was over, Kalaam had also agreed to contest indirectly making things even more difficult for UPA and its supporters as they have decided to oppose his second term.
 The politicians and political parties of India have been busy deciding on future President and all other major issues that till now were taking center stage are out of focus for now. We must expect a final of this whole episode tomorrow with Congress supposedly declaring its candidate and others favoring or opposing it. This will make clear wether wins the race to Riasena HIlls or Kalaam gets his second term?

Next First Citizen Of India-Presidential Election

India is all set have Presidential elections next month and contest gets interesting with every single move of political parties.
Indian political parties are toiling it out hard this time for their choice of candidate to be elected as Indian President. Till now there were only three or four candidates that were being discussed but this evening something happened that made this race more interesting. Now along with much discussed A P J Abdul kalaam, Hamid Ansari, P A Sangma and Pranab Mukharji there are few surprising names that have been proposed by UPA Supporters. Today Mamta Benerji and Mulayam Yadav announced in a joint press conference their set of possible candidates and they are- 1) A Kalaam, 2)Manmohan Singh and 3) Somnath Chetterji.
 While two names proposed are understandable, the name of current Prime Minister is a bid surprise even for Manmohan himself(I Guess). Is it in any way possible practically for a Prime Minister to give up his office and leave his already struggling government in all sorts of dangers. Or is it time that they give their future leader (Rahul Gandhi) a short training session from 2012 to 2014? This was the question being asked to most congressies  during Prime time discussions.
 As far as  I know this is not what Rahul would be prepared for, he won't like to carry the baggage of all that this government had earned in last couple of years. This could further dampen the 2014 party performance.
 With opposition and some bigger players like DMK still silent over the issue, may be there are still few more surprises in store for us. They too can come up with a new name to complicate things even further. Let us wait and see them come out with their strategy. Who knows if they come up with Anna Hazarey?    

Democracy And Party Politics

                                Democracy And Party Politics                                            

 I am not going to criticize democracy in any way when I say that the politics in democracy too have got its disadvantages. What I want to emphasize is the role of the political parties in a democracy that just becomes a puzzle for me to understand and get-on with.

 we have always been one of the worlds biggest democracies(at least for our population) and will always fever it that way. Having a different opinion is something that is not banned or restricted in India. To have that opinion and get it heard or addressed we have been involved in multiparty system in India. Through such a system one can find one or the other party relevant to his or her own ideas. We are lucky to have such a system in place. But are we really? 

What we have seen for over a couple of decades or so is a system that is more designed to facilitate the political parties in India than the common man(men).

These political   and pretend to be talking about everyone. They have tried to divide Indians on the basis of religion,cast,economic class and area. This way they have got easy free method of targeting potential voter in bulk and do not need to discuss anything on ground levels.

 Dividing the whole population in terms of cast, economics and gender and so on... makes it easy to address big numbers without being bothered about their individual interests.

These political parties in India (party) are so bent on their great philosophies that at times the country seems of no importance, forget about one's own thoughts about country and political science.
  Remember the incident? India making Nuclear Power Plants deal with US!

All (ruling non-ruling) political parties did that they could to uphold their party interests. Government bought and sold MPs like buying bananas. The opposing did the stings and all that. An incident that did not get much of attention was the suspension of Parliament Speaker from his own party just because the poor man decided to vote on the bases of his rational thinking and not on the basis of his party line(Knowing  that a speaker is independent of his party and need not to follow former parties line on every issue).

 All said and done, may be one could call it over exertion of issue. But can we live with such political system where the imaginary party lines are of utmost importance and there seems to be no room for free, rational, open minded policies. May be we need to remind these folks and ourselves that democracy was "By The People, For The People." We need to get the common man to the center of things and issues, let him decide his fate.
 The politics is needed to help him do so, not to stop him of doing so. There are too many clear as well as unclear thoughts in my mind about the subject and will be looking forward to your valued inputs. I shall be following it up with other articles. 

Being Human, Being Indian. Human Rights? What's That?

 Have our Representatives done something worth bravery awards? The politics really cares for Human Rights?

   Now its time to discuss another issue, the issue of Human rights . Have our Representatives done something worth bravery awards while they brutally scattered, hit  and frightened peaceful demonstrations during midnight and early morning hours. Was it THE example of a full majority government misusing its monopoly to balance its own political map of India. Who should we blame for the death of a female agitator  at Ramleela ground. Did she in any visible or hidden way threatened our country's integrity, dignity and sovereignty?

Midnight-Crackdown

         What do you get out of it when a 74 years old (Anna Hazare) is arrested while blaming him to be THE threat to democracy in morning and suddenly by midnight he is no more the same threat and released. What about the nationwide arrests and inhumanly  jam packed jails(or should I say make shift jails that they created to deprive us of our basic right to protest against wrong doings of great leaders).
       While these activists seemed to be threats what do all Political parties in India using communal violence, racism and other sort of narrow minded politics signify. There have been issue of northern Indians being bitten up like mad dogs(sorry for the word but it was exactly like that) in some parts of southern India especially  Maharashtra (Mumbai) . The contractors of social 
reforms hit and beat youth celebrating valentines day with anything they have or anything they want ? 
      Where do these authorities, governments and leaders disappear while all such things occur in our country. There are at least half dozen of these regional political parties that would every now and then come out with hockey sticks and baseball bats and would try their level best to improve this Democracy. Yes I wrote Improve because this is what these fanatics claim if asked about their non-constitutional methods.
       
       Have we created a Nation that is just good for VVIPs and ministers ?       Where does the common man stand in such situation ?

All one can say is that list of such incidents and questions is endless but should we just look for other to take initiative and follow that SOMEONE or shouldn't we become more responsible in selecting and electing our administration and representatives. Rather than falling pray for party politics isn't it that time in our democracy where we start to vote and voice for issues that concerns us, the common man, the majority?
    Just think about these questions and feel free to discuss , debate and conclude your ideas about 
The Democracy, The majority. 
                                     SPEAK UP BECAUSE YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!
