Yes, M* Gandhi!

We are a population who believe in kingdoms, dynasties and prince and princess… We have lived in this kind of setup for so long that we fail to come out of the thought process no matter what and even after generations.

So with this mind set we accept what Mrs. Gandhi or Mr. Gandhi tells us. We are so very happy when they speak and we feel proud that we have their presence amongst us.

Mr. Rahul Gandhi, who is being hailed as the next Prime Minister of this big and burly nation, have done nothing except making scapegoats out of his ministers and/or blame some one else for something. For an example, while he was campaigning for the first time in his constituency Amethi, he promised water, electricity to his voters, however once elected he just blamed the people and the state government with the statement “The state doesn't have a Congress government so I can not do anything!!”

I simply love this guy, who makes statements after statements for dalits but so far has not even tried to push a bill which can bring economic equilibrium in the country. Well, that may be too much to ask from him, so how about a simple thing of trying to help them learn and grow… Well again, I think that is too much to ask a man of only words!! I think he should be treated as an idiot and stupid…

Maybe, Mrs. Gandhi is the person to talk about… She allows the cabinet meetings(meetings which she either preside or she has her proxy on!!) to increase prices and then she declares a reduction. I mean if you have to decrease the price why do the drama of increasing it? Or increase it only by the amount which you feel is good… Amazing people I say…

I can go on and on and on… but can these guys start doing something worthwhile and stop all these politicking… I guess time will tell…

It’s Election time in India and the usual begins…

I have had enough!!

No Candidates to vote for!!

What does this mean to us??

Well, these are the thoughts that crop up when I think of elections… What should one do when elections come? There are myriad of options before us Indians:

  1. Do not Vote
  2. Vote for the same CASTE candidate
  3. Vote for the same RELIGION candidate
  4. Vote for a party which supports your RELIGION

and so on.. Isn't it funny that none of the above options are reasonable for a fruitful democracy. Well, that is what the worlds biggest democracy is all about.

We have a party which calls itself the most secular party of the nation, but keeps giving preference to one religion over the other and kills people of another religion per se, brings up religious issues to the fore, is highly dynastical and traditionally has been a no gooder for anything. Then we have the supposedly second largest party of the nation, which is also the most un-secular, has no leaders who can take up real issues, cannot take decisions, has the top brass full of corrupt greedy people who cannot even speak a single sentence correctly (in any language) without looking for help. Then there are the communists, who would agree to all inhuman practices of China but would kill someone who says America or UK and just on papers and manifesto talk about people, when they come to power they do zilch!!! After these come the regional parties, parties like BSP who kill and loot people and organizations to make their leader filthy rich, loot the people who they are supposed to represent… And then the other regional parties like MNS, Shiv Sena, AIDMK, DMK, PMK, RJD etc. etc. who thrive on vote banks built by goondas and rowdies …

So what should we do? How do we bring such people to power?

Well, that is a question we all need to answer….. So let the thinking begin…
