Thanks to vicious campaign by anarchist elements, mobocracy and opportunist opposition groups, a senior minister, Sharad Pawar was slapped today. Is this not the direction team anna, various other anarchist groups supported by main opposition are leading the nation to?
If the anarchist trends are not checked, our democracy and rule of law is endangered.

The levels of tolerance of common people have been stretched too far! The kind of anarchy, lawlessness and corruption everyone is having to face is just too much. If this kind of situation persists, there are going to be more such incidents!

Agreed! but that is relevant only in the normal scenario. Now, when every day the prices of basic food commodities are so high, and there are talks in government regarding production of wine from food grains, is it possible to retain any degree of sanity?? And the ridiculous thing is that this decision is being made to save grains form getting spoiled!! :angry: I mean, can't they just build more numbers of proper graneries?
Our kind of democracy has proved completely useless! :)

The minister in question earns Re. 1 for each bottle of beer and wine that is sold in Maharashtra (or it is India, not sure)! And the poor fellow who slapped him is being tagged as being a psychiatric patient! So much for our rationalism! :(

[quote]What kind of democracy we are taking about? A Lokpal Bill could not be passed in six decdaes which existed several centuries back in Europe, may be in different names! [/quote]
Yes, that is why I call it a useless democracy, which is actually an autocracy run by the Gandhi family! :angry:

Like business cartels, political parties too have formed a kind of that - each taking care of other's interest marginalising the common people of India!
I agree. However the major cause for this is reluctance of honest and efficient people to join political parties. Another reason is lack of internal democracy in these parties. solution lies in more people joining politics via political parties with a view to democratize and mobilize these for people. If we remain aloof from active politics, there is no point in blaming the existing active politicians for sorry state of affairs. Even anna team stalwarts like Kiran Bedi and Kejriwal are reluctant to enter politics directly. It makes no sense to shout from a distance without entering politics via political parties. You cannot clean a house without entering. similarly with politics.
i totally agree with you gulshanji.there is absolute need for the youth among the country to show some interest in politics. every time i ask my friends about this, i alway gets 1 reply. that they are not interested in politics. it is because they consider politics as something sown cast. it is this attitude that must change.,
This kind of escapism is not at all desirable but I don't blame our youth for it!
There is nothing wrong in not selecting politics as a career. One must choose the career that suits one. But the fact remains that you cannot change politics without actively participating in acceptable constitutional way viz. by joining some political party. For example, Mamata Banerjee is bringing change. She is doing this by active participation in politics and not by shouting from a distance like anarchic anna team.
One who has been pointing to the deficiencies of democratic establishment is also a champion of democracy. JP once launched a massive popular movement against the misrule of Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay Gandhi and some intellectuals came down heavily on him dubbing him as 'facist','anachist' and so on. And the rest is history.......
