Democracy

With a population of around 120 crores, India is undoubtedly the largest democratic state of the World. However, do we Indians deserve the right to elect our own Government?

Every day, we start our small and petty lives with the news of a scam, mostly masterminded by the politicians. Who are these politicians? They are elected by us, to serve us. They are our leaders.

Recently, Jagan Mohan Reddy of YSR Congress party was arrested by the CBI for allegedly acquiring a property of 43,000 crores. Just to understand the figures, if the money is distributed, every Indian will get 358 crores. Yet, people of Andhra Pradesh voted for his party and the party came out of the elections with flying colors. So, what could be the possible reason behind such an election?

Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy has definitely introduced some great schemes for the poor. Arogya Sree is an example for such initiatives. But, isn't it the work of a Chief Minister to look after the people of the state? Why does the people doesn't understand the simple fact the Jagan is misusing his father's name and power for his personal benefits?

It is us, the people have to change. As long as we cast our votes for such politicians, they will treat us like this only.

If we talk statistics, the General elections will receive 50% to 55% voting. That means, 45 people for every 100 in India are not voting at all. Either these people are lazy or too busy, not to cast their vote.

It is an open secret that the political parties buy the votes of the people with money, liquor. No educated(socially responsible) man would accept these favors for their vote. That gives me an opportunity to infer that at least 70% the voters have sold their votes. That means, only 30% of the votes that were cast were by unbiased and genuine individuals.

Casting your vote without any bias would do miracles. Imagine a 100% polling which includes those of educated, who can think. Politics will not be a profitable business anymore. One can not amass thousands of crores in a span of 5 years. Abraham Lincoln famously said, Government is of the people, by the people, for the people. If the government is formed by us, then only it can work for us.

Every Indian must understand the importance of his vote and act accordingly. If left as is, this country will go back to stone ages. The sacrifices by many of our leaders like Gandhi, Bose or Bhagat Singh would be a mere waste. At least they had to fight an outsider. We need to fight against our own country men to make this country a great one.

I strongly feel, Indians as citizens of India doesn't deserve Democracy as long as a bottle of cheap liquor can buy our votes.

Presidential Pose



One picture talks a million words.

President Pratibha Patil poses with an AK-47 that is recovered from the militants in Jammu & Kashmir. She clearly forgot that she is the first person of the nation and her actions will draw a huge attention from all parts of the world. It seems she is enjoying the company of the killing machine as she is all smiles with the gun in her hands.

Hope a day will come soon that our politicians learn how to behave at least when the world is watching them...

The real Terrorism..

Hyderabad has become the target of the International terrorists recently (Saturday, 25th August'07). There were a serial bomb blasts at the Lumbini Park and the famous "Gokul Chat" in Kothi. Also a series of bombs are diffused at various locations in the city by the police.

The point is what does one (terrorist) want to prove by claiming innocent lives. I must say that this is an act of cowardice. Only a barbarian can do such hideous tasks. But, why does in the name of heavens does political parties give this incident a different color altogether???

The opposition says that the "Congress government" failed miserably in protecting the city. BJP called for a bandh on Monday. These kind of reactions will give an undue advantage and a mental victory to those faceless terrorists. When will people understand that we have to be united in such situations to emerge victorious!!

The real terrorists are the politicians that we elect to rule us. Irony is everyone agrees with this statement, but do not work towards improving the system!!!

Yet, India is the largest democracy with a rich heritage.

Please don't make a political drama out of such incidents.
