Cleanse thy DIRTY pond

“for the people of the people by the people”. This definition of Democracy is evident to show that it has NOTHING to do with politicians. In fact this is one of the reasons the world over politicians have tried to change democratic ways of functioning as soon as they come in to power.

As the definition puts it, Democracy is WHOLY and SOLELY the responsibility of the people. It is futile / stupid / ignorant to blame politicians ONLY.

In India the ONE thing that has always worked (and worked brilliantly) is DEMOCRACY. Democracy has an uncanny way of bringing forth politicians that WE as people DESERVE. We say most of the politicians are Corrupt, Democracy turns around and asks “so?! Most of the people are corrupt, who will represent them?”

Politicians are also people and come forth from the people. If the pond is dirty then the drops of water from that pond CANNOT be clean. There is a chance that a flower might bloom in this dirty pond but it does not cleanse the pond. The pond has to go through the rigors of cleansing itself.

I will try to be a clean drop in this dirty pond…

WHY Indian National Congress?

BJP – There is no way I can be a part of an organization which defies the secular fabric of my national Constitution by its continuous usage of "ONLY majority" (read HINDUTVA) wins policies. BJP alleges that some of the Congress activities are bias towards a particular religion. This is very strange and hypocritical coming from an organization which opts itself to be the representatives and manifestation of majority HINDUTVA forces.

CPI – I have respect for the individuals in the Communist party. There integrity is of very high standards. Although their concepts / policies are EXTREME in the direction we should be travelling.
Hence the direction is right but the policies are extreme to the extent that they work against individual capabilities and potential.

Local Parties - (ShivSena, AIADMK, Samajwadi Party…) By definition these parties have restricted their views to local politics. These parties cannot think about India because they are too sold out on their LOCAL existence.
How can Shiv Sena ever think about the South Indians, being in the Indian Parliament, when their initiation in politics was to drive them out of a Maharashtra?
Being a part of Indian Parliament one has to think FIRST about India and then about “your” locality, which will be very difficult for these parties!

BSP, RPI – These are similar to BJP, in that their very basis is an insult to the secular fabric of our Constitution. They divide Indian populace rather than unite them.

NCP – Hmmm Why choose to swim in a pond when whole ocean is welcoming you?

Needless to say …

I PROMOTE Indian National Congress zealously, passionately!!!
