Election is Over not the Battle for Democracy

Verdict of the 16^th General Election of largest democratic nation has once again shown how unexpected it can be. But good thing is that this time we could hope for stable governance.

Here I am trying to list out some of the points I got concerned about.

1.        This time also the voting % struggled to cross 50 marks.  Voting in urban areas getting lesser.

2.       There are still criminals who are now going to sit in our parliament to rule.

3.       1984 sikh riots, Babri Masjid, 2002 Godhra such issues still become hot topics for just to get votes without even bothering about punishing the guilty or preventing them in future.

4.       26/11/2008 Mumbai is already becomes one in the list of our incapability of taking preventive action. Neither the public nor the political parties were serious about this issue.

5.       Inclusion of getting back black money from Swiss Bank in manifestos of big political party. But the late in announcement made it obvious that it is just an election stunt.

6.       Hopeless, meaningless, narrow minded, communal hatred, anti national, immoral speeches (war of words!!) from the people who are meant to represent ourself in Parliament and media unnecessarily speculating them without concentrating on needy issues.

7.       Posters, banners, road shows, bribing the poor by liquor, money etc all getting reduced. Thanks to EC

8.       Online information about each candidate and information of performance of each MP in various websites.

9.       Several Organizations which are inclusive of young generations are making people aware and awake about the election though different media.

Overall it looks like Spirit of Democratic Bharat is never going vanish. However insane it might look like Youngistan will continue the spirit to achieve Democracy in governance, Equality in society, Harmony in people like always.  

But our responsibilities don’t end with formation of the government rather it is just an initial milestone that we have achieved and there are many things to do. To make use of the initial success in fight for democracy we have to involve in governance. This time there is no reason for the major party in government to move away from its promises made before election. Also since it continuation of the previous party rule itself there should not be any slow down / renewing in development programs. We the people must ensure this to happen. Now we have all those online in internet. If not as social worker but as an individual we have to know what are the projects that government is starting to meet the promises given to us and how it is being implemented. We have the very strong tool called RTI. It is known fact that the main hurdle for development is not lack of money or lack of good projects but is the pathetic way of implementation. It is our duty as the part of government in the democratic nation to remove the hurdles of development.

Apart from this the reforms in entire election process is not to stop with the end of election. Inspite of lots of motivating ads, programs the voting turn out is not at all encouraging to feel proud of Successful Election in Largest Democratic Nation. Some not wanted to vote. Some not got chance to vote due to various reasons like out of station, no name in the voting list, not able to find voting booth, threat by Naxals and Terrorists etc. All these reasons must also to be reviewed and corrective and preventive action are to be drawn and implemented. More importantly the reason for not got chance to vote must be vanished. And it is not only the job of EC to take necessary actions to reduce these reasons but is also responsibility of every responsible educated citizen to be the part of it. Many times the proposals of EC are not approved from the parliament due to having moral-less uncommitted politicians. In such time we the people must support the EC through different media and enforce the Parliament to move away from the path of reform. Also building confidence about the democracy of our nation must be taken up by every individual. It is our right also the duty to ensure democracy wins always.

The electoral behavior of all political parties must also not to forget. Meaningless, hopeless, hatred, anti national speeches to please particular communities; Abusing each other like uncultured school children, trying to get every political benefit of each incident with actually spoiling the harmony of society all must be stopped from getting encouragement. It is because we the people who feel or act and become victim of being used by these narrow minded selfish politicians. If we stop from being provoked by knowing the real face behind these, such development blocking issues will automatically removed from the behavior of political parties. We have to create the awareness that individual benefit at the cost of nation’s development is not to encourage. If nation develops we grow.

So it is not time to feel free and forget everything and continuing the same. The thinking of “yeh hi chalta aaya hai, yeh hi chalega” must not run. We have to move on the path of change for better today and tomorrow to start new era of our nation. It is our right to have good governance, and we will not let it loose. It is our duty to fulfill the dreams of lakhs of freedom fighters, courageous solders, and great leaders to have Strong Self Reliable Bharat. Let us be awake and aware!!

Terrorism: What is the Agenda for Coming Election?

After a break!! There are many things which are moving around the world effecting our nation and us.

Economic crisis of USA is affecting those who have not bothered also. Americans have chosen African - American as their next first citizen defeating the color discrimination while we are giving political, religious color to most inhuman activity of terror. Read Here For Comparison!!

Now saffron Organisations are coming under scan. Whether the ATS and police are creating more confusions or is exposing the real face of all extremists is also a question. Even the people who served for integrity and safety of our nation are been accused. Same time the Central Government puts probe on Delhi Jamia nagar encounter case even a Police Officer was shot dead by the terrorists. Add to this the ruling party members are supporting the accused and arrested! Where are we heading? Whether the guilty will be caught and punished?

There is no single agenda against terrorism in our country. Each political party is trying to utilize the brutal and inhuman murder and tragedy of common people to its own benefit. Not a single party has transparent and unbiased way of making Bharath free from terror. Some say their mission is secular way and some say strong stringent law against terrorists. But here the word “Secular” is meant for blindly supporting any deeds of Non Hindu Religions and hurting the sentiments of Hindu, and “Terrorists” are meant to be Muslims by default. How can a single common force or agenda be formed against terrorism by the rulers of our nation?

Elections are on!! Hence no political party wants to be in bad impression by any stand they take on terrorism. So for terrorists our country is still an open place. They are still active inspite of encounters, arrests, probes and all other dramas!! Now they are in process of creating one more Kashmir in that part of country where over the years no body bothered. Just compare the blast media coverage and post-analysis of Assam with Bengaluru blast!! And our politically motivated investigation agencies are just creating media news. No where we are able get confident from government or Investigation agencies that terrorists has taken their step back and their activities being arrested. Is there is no end to terrorism?

This is what I suppose the inner feelings of each one of us. We have to be more lucky enough to be safe to live in our motherland now for which was once people sacrificed their life to make it great nation. Only hope is that we have elections in near future to force the political parties to put right agenda against terrorism. I am still hoping because the active and awaken citizens of our nation are far less compare to the forces that are making our nation a worst place to live on earth.

We have to learn and take lot from recent president election in USA. Obama win because he is more for Americans than for Black people. His visions for USA made him success. And here in our nation our own elected members of parliament have discarded the great visionary of our age A.P.J. Kalam from continuing president-ship.

I am starting to build an agenda for the coming general election. It is the agenda for common people by which we can make the politicians and political parties to redefine their agenda in concern with nation in right way. I know you are also having something in your mind to make this place a better place to live. Share them, let us put a common agenda and spread it to as many as possible to create a voice to change. Let us fulfill the duty of being educated citizen of Bharat!
