Again NDA, How?

I always used to think about what kind of voters are we? I mean to say to whom we want to choose.

Secondly on what are the problems on which political parties are making foundation of next government.

Constitution talks about right to vote but doesn’t suggest about how to vote and whom to vote. Election commission of India is an independent body but it has influences. They are the main content providers for the elections organized in India; they have right to regulate the rules and right to prosecute the fault. Now what they have done to this process where it is clear that they allow many politicians to play into the battle field who are having criminal cases pending with the different legal courts. After all this is India; We are spiritual; We gave chance to every one to improve; We belong to the history of Prithivi Raj Chauhan who had defeated Mehmood Gajni for 17 times and had mercy on him everytime except the 18 times when Gajni attacked again. And this is not only one incidence of intruding our boundaries but it had happen several times again and again.

Election commission has unique role to play in organizing elections in India. Apart from putting all information on Internet they have to come to a point where they can reach to common men’s understanding of his role in to choosing his leader.

Current approach of election commission is quite restrictive in nature and it comes to picture first time when some elections are schedule for next month. They make a leg of 3-4 years knowingly so that Indian mass could not educated about the electoral and democratic institutions and remain ignorant about their authority. And this is the thing, which Indian politicians want most to protect their seat from authoritative capture from some legitimate politicians and leaders.

Now what they can do?

They have to start educating the voters and Indian villagers. They have to start making informative pamphlets for elections rules, regulation and all things about electoral rights to make them authoritative, decisive and key player.

Second point, which I want to make that India, had been independent from last 58 years.

It was political and social need of Indian democracy of that time to follow the dynasty system in a democratize representation of government. But it was urgent need of the political and social system to emulate them selves from the dynastical democracy. After all it was independence fought for people’s rule.

The beginning was done with Indian National Congress represented by Nehru. It was new system of ruling, which was, introduces to Indian Maharajas and Nawabs. Of course it was not acceptable to their legacy as they are bound to rule over people from years. But things were revived for the future with explanations to need of the time and using force some times.

Industrialization was done without giving a thought to its existence and need in Indian context. Nehru was trying to overcome the idea of Gandhian philosophy of developing rural population first by industrializing and submitting nation to the machines driven economic and social system.

Gandhi was right because he know that Indian population need to be developed by their character of making things their own for their self estimation of future growth with respect to global standards and identity.

But it was unfortunate that we symbolize Gandhi as symbol of idealism too early.

India was running with the problem of poverty, unemployment, Jamindaari, Health, Education, Water, Child Marriage, Women’s rights, Inflation, Cast, Human Rights, Child labor, sex ratio and many more. Some problems have been eradicated on paper completely but they do exist in thoughts and actions of current time as well like Jamindaari[Assuming some politicians, Industrialists as Jamindaars of present time ].

But most of the problems are still there for ‘Janta’ to face. Now these are the problems, which remain as target for opposite political front to put pressure on government and draw some lines to influence their vote bank.

They are not solving problems but targeting them for next scheduled elections. This is preposterous face drawn by Indian political system on their own.

This is almost a zigzag motion of representation of ruling government in the legislative assembly after 1990. Before it was Congress only.

This is almost a negligible fact about ruling government in center for people. It doesn’t make any difference because problems are not addressed at ground level and chance is given to the next government See Punjab case].

So it would not be a surprise for me that next government in center is of NDA. But then next one will be of Congress only with oscillating allies.
