Politics is a well known subject for each and every one of us. In all the nations of this world, politics has got more importance when compared to other fields. If a nation has to develop, it has to be well developed politically first. India got its independence on August 15, 1947. Already 67 years have been passed since India achieved its independence. We can see a remarkable difference between the political conditions 40 years back and the prevailing political conditions.
Since India is a democratic country, people themselves have the power to elect nation's representative by casting their votes. Elections can be compared to festivals to Indians. This is because all the nominated parties during the time of election keep themselves busy in campaigns. Radios, newspapers, television, internet and many more media are used for the campaign of election. Within the city or town they go for campaigning with the help of loud speakers. With the help of advertisements they show the demerits of voting other parties and merits of voting for their own parties. They promise to fulfill all the requirements of the people and attract them towards their parties. Since some percentage of the population of our country is illiterate, they fall prey to the false promises made by these politicians. Nominated members offer money, alcohol to the voters and influence them to cast their votes in favor of their parties. Voters too falling prey to greediness cast their votes to wrong parties. Since people cast their valuable votes to wrong parties, criminal minded corrupt members get elected.
A few years back Indian politicians played a good role and worked in favor of the public and development of the country. They worked with devotion. Serving people and there by serving their motherland was their main aim. They struggled hard for welfare of the country. But, politicians of now a days have no respect towards their country. Most of the politicians are looters, corrupt and criminals. In our constitution, their are certain laws for the people who want to participate in election. One of the rule is that one shouldn't have done any crime. These rules are just for name sake. This is because most of the politicians have been involved in corruption cases and yet they are allowed to participate in elections.
Today politics in India is of very low level. Voters before voting should test the capabilities and conduct of nominees well and then vote, so that wrong person does not get elected and come in power which can be very harmful to the citizens and mother country. Politicians should work efficiently and run country without corruption. The real work starts after the election. Just conducting elections with so much of campaigns and then not doing duties efficiently is all real waste of time and money.
