In India once a cricketer is over 30 years of age, he is asked to retire, however well his performances are.  The 30 plus cricketer could be very fit & playing better than any other international cricketer but he has to retire for the simple reason is that he has to make way for a youngster.

Similarly an employee has to retire once he attains the stipulated age of 55 or 60 years.  Fitness or efficiency does not count, because the rule says he has to retire.  Even if he is the sole bread winner and the entire family is dependent on him, still he has to retire, because there are certain rules which have to be followed.

Unofficial rules applicable to our cricketers and official ones applicable to our employees are not applicable to our dear politicians.  They may be more than 80 years of age, but need not retire.  They may be carrying all the diseases in the world, yet they need not retire.  They may be the most inefficient, that does not count.  They might not have had the basic education and still that does not count.  They could be corrupt but still they are licenced to rule the country as long as they like.

Dear Friends, it is high time that we stop giving VIP treatment to politicians.  Rules applicable to us should be applicable to them also.

Our news channels has got a new controuversy to discuss throughout this week from our Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor, when he commneted 'Economic class' as 'Cattle class' on a social networking site. I doubt whether this news is worth this type of publicity. Like what the news channels always do, they are just concentrating on a point not covering what entirely happened. Tharoor just gave a funny reply to a question from another member in that site. He was asked that "'Tell us minister, next time you travel to Kerala, will it be cattle class?".He replied as this "Absolutely, in cattle class out of solidarity with all our holy cows". He used the term 'holy cows', just for a fun; or may be because he was trying to make fun of Hindu tradition of worshiping cows indirectly, in my opinion too its funny. Nut congress politicians mistook 'holy cows' as themselves and strated crucifiying Tharoor as he discovered a new usage for Economic Class. The term 'Cattle class' is a common usge for 'Economic Class' in Americas because of the bad facilities and less spacing in the Economic class. Our (Inidains, especially Politicians) poor knowledge in American English made us think that usage as huge insult to the travellers in the Economic Class. Some even commented as 90 percent of Indians are travelling in Economic class, without knowing that only around 25 percent of Indians are rich enough to travel on plane in any class. Now before ending this articleI have to tell you one more thing, the most funniest. Yesterday, in my city (Trivandrum), there was a rally by AISF (I think so, not sure of the name) made a rally to protest against the comments of Sasi Tharoor. There is a malayalam proverb related to this act : "Kaala pettennu kataludane kayaredukkuka" - Translating - "When you heard that an Ox has given birth to a cow, You piked a rope to tie that cow" - (Note: Ox never give birth to a cow. Ox is male). 

 

POLITICS AND STUDENTS SHOULD REMAIN APART

The most progressive, articulate and inspired spearhead of the most dynamic segment of country’s population is constituted by the student’s community. This vigour and youthful energy fired with idealism cannot be kept bottled up and separate from the national scene. History is replete with examples of students playing a vital role in overthrowing corrupt dictatorial regimes, freeing their people from foreign yoke and launching relentless crusader against social injustice and exploitation. History of the student movements in India can be proud of such deeds. Minimum age for voting has now been reduced to 18 years. Hence, it is neither realistic nor fair to expect students who are generally in this age group, to shun politics. On the contrary, political consciousness among them will have a proper influence on their casting of voter for the strengthening of Indian democracy. So politics and students should not remain apart.
The primary duty of a student is to devote his energy and attention to his studies. He cannot afford to waste his precious time in dirty politics at the expense of financial sacrifices of the parents. Politics should not disturb the students. These two should be separated.
We have seen in our country as to how politicians have destroyed all the ethics and values causing great deterioration in administration, economy, and police and in fact all of society. They indulge in rhetoric and election gimmicks. Indian political scene is crowded with people of degraded moral values for whom power is a means of mere self-embellishment. Consequently, all political parties are only competing in the race of grabbing power for fulfill their ambitions. Today’s politics lacks its human face, using promises and gimmicks as cheap instruments. Our national character will further degenerate if students come under the influence of such nasty game. Atmosphere of schools and colleges should be free from such bad influences, and then only the discipline, decorum and sanctity of educational institutions can be maintained. And by the time a student gains nothing but loses a lot by playing into the hands of politicians. So politics should be far from the students.

hey i talking about indian politicians you know every politicians want to cheat us and want to earn money..they never  go to help the poor people.
