LOK SABHA elections

Its about four five months from now that worlds one of the largest democracy would go voting but the verdict is again going to be biased, there has been a trend to promote the pratices of regionalism and communalism and we feel proud behaving so un-rationally and by not electing the right person, most of the people today suffer from psuedo-concern disorder-yes, that is they dont care really to exercise their right to vote and even if they do so, they end up favoring someone who is from their caste or religion- its sad but true, party like BJP with true nationalist ideology has suffered a set back just because they don't know how to ensure their minority vote bank by making fool out of that marginally influential part of population. Its a tragic irony that when we call BJP a hinduvadi party we tend to ignore that the hindu party with so called 80% of population behind it fails to make it to power, and they are termed as bad people who promote violence and what not all; but their counter part is so pure that they don't even need to talk about hinduism still they get to power, the problem is with the system that Indian republic follows somewhere BJP is better and in some aspects Congress scores higher and for that matter any political party, what i feel is that there should be a fair fight between their ideologies but then turn up these little regional parties making the in roads into the totals of bigger parties creating a mess in the national level elections in the name of caste and region, this multi party system at national level spoils the essence of elections and the elections merely turn out to be a formality of redistributing the seats among parties for a later on mutual decision. If we really want some solid leadership then we need to follow a two party system (or only national parties should be allowed to contest LS elections) at the national level where the two(or only all the national) parties should contest the elections and the winner should be asked to form the govt. so that it may function properly for next 5 years and can take decisions that serve NATION and not any individual or religion or caste; while regional parties should be constrained to assembly elections so that they may effectively see towards the local problem and let the bigger players worry about global issues.There might be many alternative to the current scenario but seriously we do need to revise this whole federal democratic system of Indian republic.

lead to a better tommorow

once again there is time when everyone will engage into seasonal patriotism that grows out of us twice a year 15th aug and today 26th jan, its good but apparently we tend to hype nationalism on these occasions....... we sing patriotic songs,reward brave soldiers with PVC, SM, VSM et al., remember our freedom fighters..... this all is no bad but the essence of republic day lies in reviving the constitution of our nation that guides India to be a better nation post independence.............

as the Preamble of constitution goes

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:

JUSTICE, social, economic and political;

LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;

EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;

and to promote among them all

FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;

IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.

the pillars of this documentation are going weak and if we dont realize it sooner the republic might collapse someday.....
* JUSTICE is frequently delayed
* organisations like MNS in maharashtra openly destroy the clause of FRATERNITY
* EQUALITY is nowhere to be seen
* LIBERTY is on the discretion of powerful

the time is to strengthen the basic ideas of the REPUBLIC of INDIA .... time to overcome bias on the grounds of region, religion and status .....
more than being patriotic we need to develop a sense of nationalism and brotherhood...... dont hate some one if you are from south and he is from north or vice versa it wont get you neither bread nor friends.......

do think about it and let INDIA be what it is ..... discourage separatists and encourage fraternity ..... जय हिंद

today its my second lohri in delhi...mood is upright party one, delhi junta is dancing the chilling winter out on blends of punjabi numbers - truly delhi has an air of India, every celebration makes a sense here people do indulge themselves... i just went out to get an Old monk bottle i could see out there people in small group with bonfire..... though i am not much into these punjabi tracks but there is something today in the air which made me listen to those tracks dil le gayi kudi gujrat ki, daru by RBD many like these ;
