Are we Democratic?

One question which arises whenever I think about our country being called 'The world’s largest Democracy' is,"Are we really Democratic?!!!”

 

India once was a prestigious country with bounteous wealth and Cultural heritage. For this fact, every barbarian, from Alexander the Macedonian, to sundry Central Asians, to random Europeans, all invaded India. Bharat is the birth place of martial arts, religion (religions) culture, civilization, science and leadership but now all our glory is almost gone. We never felt proud for all the things which we are supposed to be proud of, but rather we started feeling proud for the things which are just like a 'Maya', one among is Democracy. 

Democratic Party!

In centre, we have a party which says that it is very much secular and democratic. After the entry of the future 'Dynasty Prime minister' into politics, that particular party has never even conducted a single intra-party election till date. Youth wing secretary, National students union of India, and also the most powerful position, secretary is also held also by that single person. Is this the democracy which we have been longing for? In this  party, all the grandsons and grand daughters of the  single family get a chance to  become  prime minister of our country, does this mean that we have no body in the population of 100 crore who have the eligibility to become the prime minister other than this  family?

One Vote = 500 Rupees

In Madurai, a historical town in Tamilnadu forgot all its ethics. Give them 500 rupees, they will vote to your party. If another party gives them 1000 they will for get your 500.By-election in Tirumangalam (A Constituency in Madurai) saw a unbelievable polling percentage (89%) and remember last 1 hour had a incredible percentage of 20 (Most of it would have been bogus voting). All these show the failure of democracy. (May be next time, election commission should give 500 rupees to every Mumbaikars to make them vote). 

Aborigines 

Aborigines of India are facing a hard life in the places wherever they life. Whether it be Singapore or Sri Lanka, but our government never minds about all these. Our rulers are least bothered about all these things, because they don't even take care of us, how they are going to take care of the aborigines of India. What is wrong with us! They are our own brothers and sisters. If we don’t even care about them, and then whom are we going to take care. Moreover, the mighty Indian government is supplying the arms to the government of Sri Lanka; in turn these arms are used for the ethnic cleansing. Tamil people in Sri Lanka are being slaughtered ruthlessly using these same weapons. At the same time our government sends medicines and food to the same people whom it intended to kill. 

Degrading Culture

Thomas Babington Macaulay an English poet and politicians in his speech stated that “I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in the country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation”. But today we are being misguided; people think wearing a Adidas or Nike makes us look cool. A person who watches a UEFA or EPL is considered to be smarter rather than a guy who plays Kabadi. A manufacturing plant of coca cola or Pepsi sucks the whole underground water resources available in that area and so, no agriculture is possible in that place. But we don't care about all these things.  We should consider their plight before having a sip! They are Multinational 'A-Holes' who plunder our wealth by causing untold miseries to our farmers. We should say ‘No Multinational company products’ as USA say 'No Bangalore'. 

 

Indian Politics

India gets the credit for being the only country where a communist party joins hand with the party which is meant for the rich (Congress). People here are opportunistic. For example, congress and communist are allies in the centre but they post their candidate against each other in Kerala and West Bengal. This is the exact definition of Opportunistic policy! PDP which has involved in many terrorist attacks and even got caught too is considered to be secular for congress and Left, but at the same time, BJP is considered to be religious. The State has also failed to provide basic human necessities: the infamous 'bread, clothing and shelter' that every government has promised loudly but never delivered. People in many parts of India are opting for privatized education, water supply and road-maintenance as they are fed up by the States incompetence, indifference and inefficiency, a testament to how badly the State has performed. We pay tax, but in return we get nothing. No party here is worried about the mass, but rather they are worried about the power. Our communist has always been a puppet for China and our people have always been the audience who listening to their crap!

 

India has seen many emerging political party, which divides people in some way or the other. They have always tried to divide rather than uniting. They are just like a chimera and it is our duty to find it and destroy them from root. (Please don't arrest me under NSA for using the word 'destroy'!). We are sick of this, let us make our voice loud and clear by telling to 'unite us' on a common ground rather than dividing us. Our democracy is going in a wrong direction and it is our duty to correct it.

"Change it or we'll change it!"

Fight for your rights, be a rebel.

With Agony,
