Dilli Darbaar

Context of finding this topic is present party political chaos in President Election this time after 1947. Election was glamorized, politicized by media and its inhabitants and later handed over to political parties for dubious foreplay of honorable presidency election. Candidature was quite obvious this time but the representation of both of the candidates was so rough that it is showing the manipulated character of typical Indian politician. Previously Kalam was undisputedly chosen by both parliamentary houses, albeit his clear image was not the choosing criteria on first hand but it was makeover time for NDA government and their image which were they carried from ‘Babri maszid’ demolition case and finally Kalam raise above the tower of Babel (The Indian Parliament).
The amendments to the psychology of common people by media were having enough gravity to influence people of home town of Mrs. Patil, which create a reason to celebrate while knowing the political inertness of Mrs. Patil in comparison to her competitor Mr. Shekhawat. Best part of this show was created by media people in terms of creating an awareness to country’s president and of course his/her involvement in political corruptness and nepotism favored by each candidate in their political career up to some extant.
This was the first time when each party was quibbling over support to their candidate while they forget to keep the sovereignty of both houses and political rituals. Congress is playing cards to deploy puppets on the driving seat and NDA is busy in opposing UPA's choice to play a level making opposition. And others and media is pulling legs of each other and representing there ownself as bulletdodger. But certainly congress can use this support to Mrs. Partil as a support to women empowerment in India and can install this as a product to woo votes in next general elections. But running all these threads from so long there is a need to scrutinize our political system and its sub systems of democracy in terms of a linkage between its peripheral body of people and their culture and other influent media.Otherwise it could be end up in a quagmire or deadlock situation between democratic parties and bureaucratic system and of course ‘Junta’ while Mrs. Patil has taken oath as India's 13th and first woman president.
