Democracy the number game; Part2; Misrepresentation of people

In the series I initiate to calculate the major demerits of democracy and specially throwing light on the Indian perspective with regard to upcoming Lok Sabha election year 2009, this is the second comment, over the credibility and principles behind the representation's criterion in our democratic framework. Let aside issues like candidature of criminal or accused in grave crimes- people, the fundamental discriminating and the most lethal scenario of it is the reservation for particular castes for their candidature only; from the defined quota seats. When this act was enacted by Britishers to divide India with the help of some so called Dalit leaders, who for their own personal grudge forgot the principles of truth and justice and claim to be the architect of a futile book that has so many injustices embedded in it and yet Indians are made bound to proud on it; many patriots including the legendary Gandhi Ji also opposed it but perpetrators won and Britishers also succeeded in their efforts to divide us to the root. Now the same leaders self proclaimed copy right bearers in one of the national political party have no guts to revolt against such an injustice as SC ST forms a great bundle of power and holds key for the doors of power. So which so called castes were more in number thus strong in Democracy, formed their own categories like OBCs to get benefited in at least other areas besides candidature, they might in near future seek for that as well, since numerous venomous Arjuns are ready to defy the legacy of great Arjun of Mahabharata who fought for the ideals.

Ultimately with this grave injustice, people who don't think a perticular bunch of candidates eligible for their vote and perceive someone better than them to be their representative, have to be deprived of their right to vote, no matter whoever says Jaago re, Jaago re, if they really wake up in real sense and revolt against such injustice then the country will take a bath in the blood of its own. So let them sleep, that's much better Sad

Suppose if i want to represent my people from the area I reside in, and I am not from a particular caste for which that seat is reserved for, then how will I can participate in the process and the people who have the choice in me, how can they exercise their right in Democracy?

Arguments are laid down as those groups are socially deprived of, then why can't government take steps like assistance with laws, guarantee for better education and living amenities and economic assistance with other facilities that might assist them to compete in a common forum? As they say it's not the fault of a person to be dalit then on the same hand the equation is same for the so called general category-citizen also, how can it be held for injustice for its lineage or the cast? And even if we consider that the ancestors of those people committed discrimination against the listed castes then why should it pay for it? There're genuine ways available to help them as innumerated above and can be written and well executed on the serious will quite easily!

My time here is over now, some day I shall write more about it somewhere, keep reading and I will grateful if could receive the readers remarks, Jai Hind!

Democracy- the number game- Part 1

I have written similar topic once before somewhere as well, wanted to reiterate with the context of present elections, "the decision 09", as they're described by one of the prominent media group. We've been discussing about a few key issues of the importance, for this poll. When it comes to defining principles, their implications on a nation as a whole, we're to rely upon those primitive faces that we often come in contact with while visiting the rural areas or even metropolitan slums. As we're aware of the fact most of them comprise the major chunk who decides the fate of the country. Their criteria may be in variety, essentially not existed on logical interfaces but mostly influenced by politics of separatism or any other vice that we may perceive in this unity in variety society. It must then strike in our minds that shouldn't there be some mechanism of filtering out such potentially hazardous voters for the well being of nation and its boasting largest democracy of the world?

I tolerate the fact that with democracy there comes numerous of ideas, aspirations of differing kinds, many view points and even more corruption but that we somehow manage for the sake of stability and human rights but when these augmentations embrace totally incompetent units just because of lack of political will of the parties that are largely dependent on fooling such people rather than working honestly for the country, then it must knock the minds of intellectual machinery who want to do something for the refinement and betterment of the society and thus the nation. It was quite arguable when we attain freedom, initially it was hard to find literates in a society which was the innocent victim of cruel colonization but later on, there must have been serious efforts made to filter out the harbingers of the future forming for the country we love the most. Like reservations, this also became a malignant disease of the society and still is not considered veraciously even by the responsible citizens. I am not at all pressing on snatching rights of the poor who were deprived of education because of economic reasons and old people who are themselves with the experience of choosing the better but I am strictly pressing upon the fact that why there wasn't any beginning on such an important issue at least 25-30 years back by invoking rules such as citizens pertaining families with more than certain amount of income must be at least literate if not the graduate for casting their votes? It must have spurred the quality of governance as well as the will of people to learn more. Even from now on, there can be deadlines set up, for the economically competent citizens to attain a certain level of education so that their thinking perspectives might get broader and ultimately we begin a process of creating an environment which will in future yield time when the nation's polity won't run over the issues like cast, creed, religion, language etc. but on rather logically justified and crucial issues of both short and long term importance.

50 years of Tibetan struggle for justice & freedom


When I see a bunch of people, relatively lesser in number, seeing towards India, for the protection of their rights and even for the sake of their sheer existence; getting no significant support that is pragmatically supportive and result oriented, then my heart goes on melting for such warriors who are destined to fight their battle of truth against the mostly populated, robust financial and military powerhouse of this earth, the Communist China. Today on occasion of 50 years of struggle by aspiring and patriotic Tibetans who fought against all odds, with a cruel power who kills its on people brutally on speaking even a single world against it, what to write of minority Tibetans. First of all, the most important aspect of this trouble is, when the entire world appreciates the distinguishing racial base of Han chinese and Tibetans and thus rendering from it the right of Tibetans that they historically possess of having their own separate nation, why India only for its own self interests turning its face away from the doctrine of truth and justice, which is the basis of our culture? According to Dalali Lama, Chinese have made Tibet a living hell; the restriction on foreign media and virtually airtight isolation of Tibet prove the citing of honorable His Holiness view-point.

Because of our own interests, we tend to be passive about the injustices happening around us. This way we are equally responsible for the sins that China is committing. I'd here again stress on the fact that because of our lingering stance over these key international issues around us, many Tamils in Sri lanka and Tibetans in Tibet had to face brutal and inhuman treatment and consequences, even losing of their lives. India must be very proactive for the sake of truth and justice, which basically frame this great nation. Jai Hind!

Importance of the issue of terrorism, in elections 09

I'm finding it very queer even addressing the enumeration of this the most significant problem that our country is facing. First of all we must distinguish the two different propositions, that are; off course political parties must not politicize the issue of terror but then the voters must keep in mind that we distinguish people who we believe are clear and decisive about their approach towards terrorism. We find many people saying terrorism has no religion, no faith; actually that is a true perspective. Simultaneously we find folk saying terrorism must not be compartmentalize, that also is true among certain plights but this time the need is to recognize the chief problem of this nation which is threatening the safety of its citizens country wide and that is undoubtedly terrorism spread by Islamic fundamentalists who want everyone to be muslim and the people who have been blind and bigot. I'm not at all denying with the fact that there aren't other major problems in India but certainly both of the major political parties highly differ on this key issue that's why I am addressing it separately.

If we can't recognize the cause or even after recognizing it tend to mislead ourselves because of our own selfishness and keep appeasing so called minority despite knowing most of the times terrorist got succeeded in their cowardly heinous acts on our soil just because our own people, a few misled indian muslims assisted them to do the all. For them if we don't formulate tough laws and get them in accounts of justice then we tend to loose on our own ground rather than being defeated anywhere else! Many prominent media groups in our nation and even internationally reiterating that Terrorism will not be a core issue in this LokSabha election and referring their conclusion to the recently held polls in states are having a great degree of illusion because even when I am sitting here in Bangalore I am finding people who are radically excited about taking steps against terrorism by themselves, so must keep in mind that on the national level there will be a serious impact of this issue. Secondly, Congress always chant about no effect of terrorism or even when compelled to consider it as a factor then they say we have managed to be diplomatically very sound in the crisis of Mumbai; we must keep in mind that forget about what the entire world believes, even when ameraica was attacked did they find solutions in world-polity! The answer is NO, we're to secure us ourselves, as Israel very rightly did. After submitting the terror dossier I think when I'm writing it, more than 2 months are over, what did it bring to us? Nothing. Now pakistan is threatening to shut off their inquiry citing no support from our side, so what this world-diplomacy is helping us? They are only praising us on fora else they would be laughing at our cowardice internally, this very fact the citizens of India must know. Though I don't either support parties like BJP who performed operation Parakram, despite Kargil and attack on parliament they rested with arms in pocket. Anyone must not be afraid of Nuclear bomb, their all bombs cumulatively can't eradicate even a singleton percent of our land but we can eliminate this evil nation from world forever by our might. We must have done it in 1965 but due to lack of proper leadership we failed to do so. Whatever, now the only hope which we can look for this key issue is to vote for the BJP as they seems to be the only party that is for the sake of wooing muslim votes not hanging nation's security and its self respect at stake. Jai Hind!
