INDIA SHINING

Did you hear that Indians are now into the list of richest people? We could have celebrated if they were generous enough to do something for an ordinary Indian like me who is jostling with long power cuts, acute water scarcity, lack of basic civic amenities and so on. What we expect from our governments is certainly not to be happy to see so many Indians in NASA or elsewhere but to appropriate our hard earned money to those things which are for general people.
Who are the people whose representatives are sitting in the parliament? They are not my representatives, and not yours either. Do they think of us or our rights, or their duties towards this country? More than half of them have substantial criminal records. Will you ever hand over the keys of your house to any of them? How could you afford to hand over the throne of India to them? DO NOT GO TO VOTE ANY OF THEM lest it should make you a partner in crime.

Ask any Indian what he or she thinks about politicians.More than 90% Indians shall say that politicians constitute the worst breed. Then WHY DO THEY CAST THEIR VOTE? When every politician, or more appropriately every available candidate is most likely a criminal, why people can't restrict themselves from voting them, or any of them to power, that power which shall later be used against us some way.

Is there something else to talk about in India except politics, cricket and films? Do news channels realize their social responsibilities commensurate with their power? This is not merely lamenting over what others are doing, this relates to the position, power, capability and opportunity that some people have. This is not a cry over what others are doing or a justification why we do not do certain things. This is not about holding others answerable to us or holding all their (mis)deeds questionable. When people have power, or when they snatch it by all unfair means (like majority of our politicians do), and are in a position to affect others, then they become answerable as to why they are at a certain position.

This is the appropriate time when we decide NOT TO VOTE AT ALL when we don't find a right candidate.
