No democracy in India!
The female, arundati roy, sponsoring savage violence said, “India is not a democracy” or something like that.
“Democracy is dead, still it drives our nation….. we are driven by a Ghost …..hai na!!!!” Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Here are my views on Indian democracy…
In India, we have democracy trivialized into ugly despotism/authoritanism/ totalitarianism/nepotism by sonia’s into family business, etc etc. Rememebr the medical students were beaten up when they rallied against caste- and religion-based quota system? Silencing by brute force has been the norm in India. But…..even limited force the King of Nepal used against terrorizing maoists for just a few days was not taken lighlty ! He lost his throne to the savage islamist backed barbaric maoists!!
These are my thoughts on Indian democracy…
Best blog overall in terms of truthful satire, stressing basic elements of democracy, leaders’ role, etc etc. had these lines: “We do have freedom of speech. There have been stray incidents of goondas silencing some people, but overall, you are safe within four walls. Only when you venture outside, you have to be a bit careful.
At least there are no bullets flying around. And schoolchildren don’t carry guns. Once in a while, some accident happens. Only during bandhs and rallies we have to be really cautious and stay indoors. Some peaceful protestors may use some peaceful methods. It’s better to be safe. We are non-violent people.
The ones who stay put in their homes usually face no trouble. Especially if you have stocked up on all essential items you need till the peaceful bandh is over. If you don’t have rice, eat bread. If you don’t have bread, drink water.
We do have a good governance. Very, co-operative. Almost anything can be done, provided you know what to do. Everything has its price. The richest in India know that. “
I liked most these lines as well:
“There are many issues of national interest (definitely without thrill and spice), that go unnoticed or hardly noticed by media.
The rule of law: One of the strong most preconditions of the democracy is sound working of the rule of law. … In India, even if we assume that the writ of the government hardly extends beyond its capital city Delhi, the question still remains, is Delhi a safe place to live with, with full working of law and order situation?
Free and fair elections: This is another assumption for the democracy to function properly. In the insurgancy dominated corners of the country, sometimes, going to take part in the election & vote for a party or not, becomes a question of life and death.
Are we really responsible citizen of India? How much we are concerned about our duty to take part in the elections? Mostly we finish all our duty with a single statement like ‘all politicians are corrupt’, ‘that the system is not working’.”
IF YOU STAY INDOORS UNDER INDIAN DEMOCRACY, YOU ARE O! that is a lot of freedom under our democracy!! I like these words of wisdom:
“Democracy is a Government of the people, by the people & for the people but the reality is Govt OFF the people; BUY the people & FRAUD the people. It has become a routine poor people are wooed by freebies, instant money and voting is manipulated. When people promise and did not keep it, they are punished but politicians promise do nothing still go scott-free. They say they are punished by voting out. But is this a punishment? Five years is too long a period for such crooks to damage the country! Is this right?”
and this:
Yes, “…the vast majority of Indians suffer extreme poverty. A majority of them even don’t have enough food to fill their belly. They don’t have clothes to wear, live on foot paths. Many villages even don’t have access to drinking water, primary education and primary health facilities. They are choked in a vicious circle of illiteracy-unemployment- over population- poverty-Illiteracy. ”
Yes, “democractic movement is the outcome of many revolutions“! Indian needs a liberation struggle to emancipate the great majority in the civil society who have neither basic civil rights nor fundamental Human Rights like right to live free from savage islamic serial blasts, free from evanjihadis, free from stoning from osques during Ganesh festivities…etc etc.
A country like India where people with loyalties to external entities like catholic vatican or islamic umma, are ruling for the most part, cannot prosper unlike China where patriotic naitonalism is obviously evident in the rally in support of the olympic torch in every town of China and abroad!
In India, leaders like Honorable Modi-ji is not respected while media thugs, xian mafia, islamic criminals, communist goons, cricket dancers are put on pedastal. That shows how India is different from China which has all the masses moving fwd as one society.
B/c media is very biased and prejudiced against the secular BJP and is totally pro- jesus-vadis and mohammad-vadis. So called Hindutvadis are demonized and maligned. Even patriotic citizens like Honorable Raj Thakeray and counter-terrorism expert His Excellency Most Honorable Mr Modi-ji are most offensively abused. There is no objectivity or balance even in Sulekha where someone said, “If there is a comment pro-Hindus, delete it!” Where is freedom of speech?!
Do you really think the khan-blasts were unavoidable, not preventable. If there were
military/para-military checkpoints at major junctions, this savage atrocity could have been prevented. Police are too few, too ill-equipped and too poorly paid to do a good job. Moreover, Bombay police chief is an islamist, javed, right? That says it all, in khanistan.
Look at China. They too have violent minority muslims. Are they not made to behave properly? The basic quesiton is one of equality that most muslims cannot seem to be obligated to get Hindus to have, as they seem to view Hindus to be colonial slaves. If Hindutvadis were strong, this kind of entrenched inequity and barbaric manifestations of enforcing inequality, might have been largely prevented. Then, there would have been about equal percentage of poor among all faiths; not the current situation where it is the Hindus that are mostlly poor.
