The only time when the politicians remain totally united is when either the Parliament or the State Assembly has to give approval to MPs and MLAs salary hikes,or rising their allowances and other perks.Otherwise pulling at each other remain their everyday need .Eventually it is the  election time when they are at their "malicing best". Ten States this year will be going to the polls. From this month to end of March, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab,Goa Uttarakhand and Manipur will witness massive political jamboree. As I write this post, Punjab and  Goa have completed the poll with a voter turn out of 83%(Goa) and 79%(Punjab) while  UP is all set to poll on the 11th. The Presidential election will be held in July this year. This year therefore is going to be an all election year. No other country in the world has so many elections and so often every year as we have. .Also no country remains as noisy and as festive as India during election times. Incidentally this 2017 is

India is changing faster than any other country in the world. Internet and High-tech Start-Ups are thrusting the India  economy to newer heights. India is the the home of  Bollywood the movie city which is  larger than movie life called Hollywood. Besides being the largest Democracy,India is also the 7th largest country in the world that has to her credit a most ancient civilization that taught the world to "count'. India is not a country of snake charmers but a land of countless wonders. India story in short is a grand epic of  history and heritage. Today the idea of a Digital India may keep the hackers overworked, yet as a country India  remain  not only exited to experiment the emergence of a cashless society but also feel happy of becoming the world's largest consumer market.I am naturally therefore proud to be an Indian and in India. Growing up and being here has  allowed me to encounter the every day fact of living. For instance for us time will always

                             I do find myself every now and then being someone who believes in a cause be it be a "Justice for All" or be it "Being Humane".However I have found that organizations that  solely remain dedicated for a cause generally end up being a political opportunist and become too very selective while working for the cause they subscribe for . PETA in my view is one of them. I am always very much behind anti animal cruelty and I do find despicable the way we humans treat or mistreat animals. Be it horses,be it goats be it elephants or be it dogs & cats. Some animal protection objectives we do find in our Constitution but they are selective and does not therefore talk of "justice for All". Life is as precious for a Horse and a Goat as it is for a Bull. So why there is no Animal welfare society for protecting the interest  of a Goat or a Horse and why creating  a ruckus on a  sport that revolves round Bull but remain neither

I was a 11 year old kid then and I am talking of 1960, the year we had shifted to Delhi from Bangalore. Delhi of those days was politically a Jan Sang hub and their political slogan of that time was quite a hit with kids  across Delhi..I recall this for one ....."Jan Sangh Ko Vote Do, Bidi Peena Chod Do, Bidi Mein Tambakaku Hai,Congress Wala Daku Hai". Anyways inspite of this slogan the Congress  ruled the Indian National Political scene  as well the Nation for decades together with little sojourn now and then. Being in Delhi and growing up watching the political hustle and bustle of election seasons I do can vouch that politicians are neither the conscience  keepers of this  Democracy nor  they carry  the courage of conviction to  practice what they preach. Their electioneering speech can be a passionate peep into patriotism but their deeds and doings have always remained a  questionable morality. With the kind of low the Indian politicians are hitting I don't th

                                                               Unlike wine, politicians hardly mature with age. Shri Lal Krishna Advani is the classic example of this fact. In the past BJP had been more in news for Advani tantrums and his stupid statements to Press than for anything else. Again the BJP lady Smt Sushma Swaraj, the leader of the opposition party in the Lok Sabha was more in news  for not allowing the parliament to work. As the leader of the opposition her most significant contribution to the nation was  making the  parliament practically lose its relevance and significance.She was directly responsible for number of non working sessions of parliament which approximately costed  the tax payer 2.5  lac of rupees  per session.  There was nothing significant  in BJP to allow the people even to consider it as the last straw for the survival of democracy. It was under such circumstances  the BJP's regional leader from Gujarat emerged on the National Politica

                                                          The way our Country is being run down by  our National Political  leadership  has made our  Democracy the  proprietary right of one single family and  not the  prerogative of the people. This speaks volumes about a nation  that continues to remain influenced by the name GANDHI a factor that has lost its relevance to modern day politicking, At the point of time when India won her Freedom, the Nation bowed to the wishes of Gandhiji thus making Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru  the first Prime Minister of the Independent India.  Jawahar Lal Nehru's Book "Discovery of India" will always  remain close to our hearts but  the truth of his experiments with name 'Gandhi'  will continue to remain a baffling mystery.  A India where the bulk of the population is illiterate and  live in abject  poverty the name Gandhi and Congress evoke a sense of total patriotism and a total  re-call of martyrdom of a selfless soul.

                                                    In spite of being a  political newbie he was able to send shock waves into the camps of veteran political parties. Overnight he became the fear factor for both Congress and the BJP. This bureaucrat turned social activist turned politician took  no time in becoming the   political  darling of the people of Delhi. The frustrated people of Delhi who had almost decided to press the NOTA button in the upcoming state elections saw themselves jubilantly pressing away the 'Broom' button. The outcome of the Delhi State Assembly  Polls saw Sheela Dikshit  and the  Congress bite the bullet and the BJP  shelved and  shocked. It was a  historical emergence of a party that matched the mood and mannerism of the ordinary people.Truly this Party brought to the Delhi's Political scene a culture that redefined the importance of being an Aam Admi.  Every one from Auto drivers, to man on the street, from Middle Class family to the inte
