The Silly Voter's moments of Crowning Glory.!
Across the Globe Democracy remains the most preferred form of governance. It's philosophy
"For the people, By the people and Of the people" continues to hit the right chord with the people across the Globe.The year 2010 saw almost an universal upsurge for Democracy. The people in Bolivia, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya,Lebanon, Ivory Cost and Iran demonstrated the audacity to come on the streets to demolish authoritarianism and fundamentalism to bring in Democracy..
India remains world's largest if not the oldest surviving democracy. We have our share of political upheavals and communal turmoils, yet we know we will continue to remain not influenced by Military Coups and Dictatorship that keep rattling our neighborhoods. Our Generals and Solders will always remain ferocious and dare devils on the battlefields. Our Armed forces have time and again proved that when it comes to deeds of valor and chivalry they are never a second to none. However on the home turf our Armed forces remain happy to toe the line with political leadership. This not withstanding their occasional skirmishes with politicians over some 'birth years and birth records.This amply proves that our Armed forces will never be a threat to our great Democracy
In Democracy, it is the power of the people and the weight of their vote that empowers the politicians and their party to take over the responsibility of running and reigning the nation for a defined period of time. The political parties in power are required to use this time frame to invest their efforts and ability to unleash economic and social well being of the people and the nation. The political parties are expected to spearhead and script story of growth and productivity .If all this sound exalted ideals, then be it so.
We know idealism can never be the Fountainhead for ideas The working Democracy in India has always thrived on the ideas of cast, communal and regional bias. It has helped in unleashing and endorsing unscrupulous political empowerment, that of late is seeing the economics of corruption more devastating than even the natural disasters. Politicians are becoming vampires sucking away the taxpayers blood to their last drop. Democracy to an extent has become responsible for turning the politicians into Dracula and at times making them even more vicious than the Dracula of the Victorian era.
