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!
