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.
