Where are we heading towards?

Heading into a new year it’s time to reconcile the events unfolded during this year. As a critic of Indian Politics, I understand that our stand in International arena has gone from bad to worse. If not why then a leader of another country pointed his finger at us and said that "India is too democratic for any productive work to happen" (putting it in sense rather than exact words for your information). The political chaos reached to depths when the MNS in Maharashtra or TRS in Andhra Pradesh caught the eye of nation with their anarchist methodologies. It is astonishing that these people have their rightful place in democracy after winning elections if not 20 or 50 seats but enough to voice their concerns. While MNS tried to find new avenues of reaching Marathi Manus by criticizing an International Icon, more of a GOD to Indian cricket fans, TRS in Andhra has tried successfully to state its presence in the state by igniting separatist ideology.

Apart from the good these people seek or atleast try to seek, or even try to convince us that they are seeking, they have eventually jeopardized the already limping political administration. While as a nation we have lot many problems to ponder and progress over, these forces stop the little good happening around and more frustrating is that they feel proud about their acts. Shame upon ourselves!! What a pitiable state have we brought our democracy to.

A parliamentary form of democracy is not a guarantee of a great future. If the legislators are mostly corrupt crooks who get elected by intimidation or vote buying and if the political parties desire to rule to get rich and therefore willingly or otherwise merge or form coalitions with such crooks or co-opt them, we once again get poor governance with fiscal irresponsibility and personal enrichment as in India. The cases of JMM- Congress and BJP forming coalitions with Koda and Soren are a classic example of poor governance and lack of genuine integrity. A blatant proof to show that being elected becomes a path to illicit enrichment by virtue of holding office in India.

So what to do, what is the way, God only knows. When we as responsible citizens time and again start falling into the traps of politicians even God should pre-pone his decision to bring out the 11th Avatar to eliminate these jokers around us and mind wash the Aam Aadmi- the mango people. When educated, articulated young men seek to serve the multi nationals thronging around, when so called peace loving educated general public opt to stay away from elections, when money, liquor and greed drives the remaining people who cast their votes we ought to see the repeated dramas of these so called champions of drown trodden people ruling the roost. Let us all know where are we heading towards in the coming New Year?
