INDIAN DEMOCRACY:A Family Drama!!!!!!!
Every state party in India started on a very different and basic ideology which concerned a particular group in India.Leaders like Mulayam singh in UP,Lalu in Bihar,Karunanidhi in Tamilnadu and so many other decided to struggle for rights of people who wanted to be heard in a country where they were very different from many other communities in their needs as well as aspirations.This was a victory for Democracy in India.These were the leaders who rose in spite of their surname and not merely because it.If that was a victory for democracy today democracy in India is in shambles.Democracy here faces a very different challenge.India has not had a leader for last so many years.Those who believe that leaders are made and not born should come to India.Anybody and Everybody who is born in a political family in India is a leader and an election ticket is reserved for him the day he/she is born.There are so many examples today where children of political leaders have joined politics.Sanjay dutt,priya dutt,depender hooda(son of haryana CM),supriya(daughter of sharad pawar),akhilesh(son of mulayam),udhav(son of bal thackrey) and ever green gandhi family heir Rahul gandhi.Perhaps the worst part of this situation is how easy it is for these people to get elected when people like Manmohan singh find it hard to win elections in India and its not because they have good agendas.It is so only because voters in India have pledged their votes to parties no matter who the candidate is as long as he is related in some way or other to the party leader.What good has Sanjay dutt done in his life.He was a drug addict,under trial in criminal activities and has no family values.What can he add to Indian society???We the voters are solely responsible for present state of Indian democracy.First half of us dont bother voting and another half who do vote, dont bother whom they are voting.Even while investing in a company, a person does more research about the company than what he does before voting someone in power.All our leaders make us same promises during elections and follow same policies when in govt.No political party in India has any difference of policy regarding Economy,Corruption,Terrorism,Indo-Pak relations or World Politics.If they are not going to provide anything different to people of India in terms of how and what they want to achieve for India,what right do they have to form different political parties.I think election commission in India should make it a point to make forming a party a little more difficult.If a leader thinks that he doesn't want to join any political party to should be allowed to fight independently and not to form a party.Similarly anybody who has any blood relation to a living(and elected) political leader should not be allowed to contest elections from same party for at least 10 years until and unless the person in question has had a history of public service of note for years.Election Commission must think about some rules on these lines if not exactly the same to save Indian Democracy.
