Dear REKHA mam,

    Thanks for your views and interest shown on our Mother Country.

Let me brief you the current scenario of our Political parties in a small story (just pure Imagination)

3 men where at the Political Building office for a  interview regarding a district post in the party. The first man walked into the office . The interviewing Leader said "To be in our Party you must be loyal, dedicated, and give us your all. Your wife is in the next room.

I want you to go in there and shoot her with this gun." The man took the gun, hesitated, and said "Sorry, I can't do it."

The next man came into the office. The Leader said "To be in our Party you must be loyal, dedicated, and give us your all. Your wife is in the next room.I want you to go in there and shoot her with this gun." The man took the gun, walked into the room, then walked out. "Sorry," he said.

The last man came into the office. The Leader said "To be in our Party you must be loyal, dedicated, and give us your all. Your wife is in the next room.I want you to go in there and shoot her with this gun." The man took the gun and went into the room. The Leader heard 6 shots, silence, then a lot of screaming.

The man came out of the room and said "Someone loaded the gun with blanks, so I beat her to death with the curtain railing!"

Mam DONT GO Away Go on further, and hope you too accept the situation. Politics in pre-independence India was based on struggle, suffering and self-sacrifice. Anybody entering politics did so at a great personal cost and hence, he was held in great regard and no questions were raised about his capabilities, talent and qualifications. Indian politics went through a drastic metamorphosis after independence. The ones who had suffered in jails and were brutally caned by the police, became the rulers. Post-independence politics did not need struggle, suffering and self-sacrifice. Vision, talent, intellectual abilities and management expertise were the need of the hour. It would have been appropriate for the pre-independence generation of politicians to understand and accept their own shortcomings and pave the way for a new generation of more capable and talented politicians. This would indeed have been the ultimate self-sacrifice of the generation that fought the freedom struggle. Instead, that generation of politicians chose hypocrisy and deception. On one hand they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to reaping the privileges, benefits and perquisites of power as well as to accumulating personal wealth; while on the other hand they continued delivering long sermons about struggle, suffering and self-sacrifice to the poor masses.

In any stable independent country, the primary purpose of political activity is to prepare and project talented capable individuals for effective governance, administration and management of the country. Generally speaking there is no need for struggle, suffering and self-sacrifice on the part of the political class in a stable democratic country. Both the ruling party and the opposition enjoy some privileges, benefits and perquisites. In return they provide the country with capable and talented leadership, management and administration. However, the politician in India has emerged as a creature who enjoys all the trappings of power but can neither provide good leadership nor be a good manager. For all that he gets from the society, he gives back only some attractive slogans and speeches that are nothing more than a skilled jugglery of words. Marx said that religion is the opium of the masses, but in modern day India the political leaders provide the opium to the masses in abundant quantity through their comic verbal gimmickry. In the past five decades India has seen a large number of wizards of the spoken word who have made not just audiences but the whole country dance to their tune.

Yet, there is a bright side to this dark picture. The election of eunuchs represents the ultimate in clownification of politics. The darkest hours of night are the ones that are closest to sunrise. Let us pray and hope for a bright sunrise in this dark hour of the largest democracy of the world.

Finally, I am Redirecting your 100% genuine and reasonable question to My all time Favourites  in this Forum Mr.KCS, Assumi Ji,ManishJi,Prakash Ji,Sanjay Ji, Shreenivas ji, and last but not Least Our Dr.PEPPER

Excellent answers sir.

With due regards to Shree, I would like to add one more point.

How many of the so called literate educated/change mongers cast their votes, exercised their franchize. 

Only those gullible people cast their votes but not literate/educated ones. They want change but not do their duty of casting their votes. If all those cast their votes, definitely, there will be a sea change in the situation.

Mr Murli Krishna is right. If all exercise thier franchise then position would be different. Now another set of figures.

In any election [assume  100 voters but only 60 % polling is there. ] there are 3 national party's candidates and lets say 3 independant candidates. Out of the 60 voters , 18 vote for one candidate of national party , 15 for another national party and 12 for another nationalist party. Rest of the 15 voters vote for independant candidates.

SEE THE FUN , PARTY WITH 18 VOTES WINS. HOWEVER 82 % OF PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THEM. How will we get good governance.

SOLUTION. : Make voting compulsory. No vote , no ration card, bank account, no governmentr job, no benificiary of scheme, no reservation in public transport, no gas, passport nothing.

WHO WILL YOU VOTE FOR?

THUG, ROBBER, BANDIT, THIEF, DACOIT ?

Show me one poor politician , who [ and whose relatives] remained poor after being elected.

If voting means exercising the right of choosing a leader and choosing indicates application of mind. THEN

Can my brains be on par with those of MR Sanjay Dixit, Dr Pepper, Shree Assumi.?

An illiterate adivasi is equal to Ratan Tata's brain. Is it not ridiculous?

SOLUTION : Value of vote should be based on [a] The amount of income tax paid [ b] education , i.e. PhD, then Double graduate, then graduate then Matric.

I am sure every State has people like Medha Patkar, Anna Hazare, Dr Abhay Bang. See thier dedication and achievments [ while having no balance sheet worthy of display] . If people of such temperaments are at the helm of affairs , only then we can hope for " Jha dal dal par soneki chidiya karti hai basera , wo bharat desh hai mera"

 Here a small contradiction.

1. Even if you want to vote, as Rajan Salvi said, the candidates who stood in the elections are the above persons only. So, you have to vote any one of those rogues.

2. In our system, you dont have a right to reject any or all the candidates. 

Dear Rajan Sir,

SOLUTION: Make voting compulsory. No vote , no ration card, bank account, no governmentr job, no benificiary of scheme, no reservation in public transport, no gas, passport nothing?

I totally differ from this views, Just as fundamental as the right to vote in a democracy is the right not to vote. Every individual should be able to choose whether or not they want to vote. Some people are just not interested in politics and they should have the right to abstain from the political process. It can also be argued that it is right that voices of those who care enough about key issues to go and vote deserve to be heard above those who do not care so strongly. Any given election will function without an 100% turnout; a much smaller turnout will suffice. The same is not true of juries which do require an 100% turnout all of the time! However, we can take a more general view by noting that even in a healthy democracy it is not surprising people should not want to do jury service because of time it takes, therefore it is made compulsory. However, in a healthy democracy people should want to vote. If they are not voting it indicates there is a fundamental problem with that democracy; forcing people to vote cannot solve such a problem. It merely causes resentment.

Show me one poor politician , who [ and whose relatives] remained poor after being elected.??????????

Politics represents only two things: money and power. It is about principles, yes, between these criminals. They join politics come to make money. Prakash and Mandakini Amte, the couple who got Magsaysay Award, are serving people.But they are not into politics. One does not need a political licence to serve people.Gone are the days when people used to join politics to serve the common man.

Now, politicians are very smart as they make use of the opportunities to the fullest in making profits.Today, politics has greatly degenerated. During pre-Independence days, politics and patriotism went together. Now, making money has become the motto of politicians. Politics without ethics pollutes democracy as was seen during the recent confidence vote in the Lok Sabha. Parties and candidates are spending money hundreds of times more than is permitted by the law during the election campaign.

Now, only goondas and rowdies can become MLAs and MPs. Electoral reforms are the only solution to cleanse public life.  If politics was solely about principles, there would not be many gruesome acts which the world is currently witnessing.

 Principles are one thing, but money wins elections. And as so often happens in politics, the desirable principle outweighs the undesirable principle. Politics is principally about money.

Earlier, it was principles and patriotism, for which people joined politics.But the modern politician is attracted to currency notes.

However, all the leaders are not corrupted. But majority of them are.This jeopardise the democratic foundations. Let us hope for a brave new generation to run politics on the basis of principles and not money.
