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!!

The SINGLE VOTE

It has been more than a month since I haven't written on my blog.  Many things are going around.

                      Out of which is the general election and its related drama is one of the most funfull event currently people like us are enjoying and worrying also. But one thing is sure this time it won't be easy way to any of the party/allies to come into power. Be it UPA, NDA or the name sake Third front, no one themselves has confident on sweeping the polls! Apart from this young India is now not letting the things go as it was going before in election. There are groups like Lead India, Jago re etc which are doing their best to motivate the citizens of India to  show the power of them are definitely creating nightmares to corrupt politicians . After 60 years things are becoming bit difficult for the corrupt criminal politicians to move smoothly in their unquestioned  political carrier. Each day I am reading cases booked against violation of code of conduct. Eventhough some are politically motivated like in the case of Varun Gandhi other too are not let away for crossing the line. Now the democracy is regaining its power and we are now in process of getting the real "Inquilab" which is dreamt by freedom fighters.

        

               But this is just the regaining of strength to the war against the hopeless system.  One thing every citizen of India who is really fighting for better system through this election should understand that the results of this election will not be a 100% success to democracy. It will be as usual a surprise and mixture of good and bad. But this surprise should give more strength to our democracy than before. That is what we can aim and get right now. This fight for getting the meaning of democracy in our nation must go on. Younger generation must not loose hope because of failures to their efforts to bring the change in political system. The current spirit must not diminished because of failure. Since more than 60 years this hopeless system has run and is at the present time more powerful than the effort to bring the right one. Some of this has root before 1947 also, so we can not remove them right now away. And the system that we are talking about to change is finally ourself!! So unless each citizen changes or made to change system won't change and this process will take time. We should feel proud of being part of this war. And for warriors fighting for right thing itself is success.

                       Our one vote may not create difference but it will give us the right to ask the elected to deliver the right to us. It will give us the feeling of being the part of the system change that we hope for. The satisfaction of doing the duty towards the nation is what the SINGLE VOTE can give us. It shows that we have not kept quite inside our closed doors when the nation's democracy was in trouble but tried our best to bring back the value to the democracy. The spirit of fighting for right thing is still present in each Indian's blood and that is what should come out in our SINGLE VOTE. Bharat is our country and we and we only can make it great.

Can’t a Secular nation protect Hindu refugee?

The topic which I am going to put my view on is very much complicated. Still since I can not keep quite on this issue I am expressing my views on it.

                Another victim of religious hatred. Now is being suffered by the Hindus in Pakistan. Here are the news elements. Even though man is in 21^st century with so many modern technologies his mindset on religion is still limited to very narrow area.

                No body from our government has issued any statement of protest against this situation on the citizen of a neighboring nation becoming refugees in their own land. Because we are “Secular” nation and concerning about Hindus is only considered as communalism in our nation no body other than right wing people are shouting against this. So government has gone dumb and deaf to act on it. It is not surprise that media, human right organizations, “Intellectuals’” all are kept their mouth shut on this for the obvious reason which I have stated. One question here to all these people is, Are Hindus are not belongs to mankind in this world?

                However this is not the first time that Hindus are suffered from ethnic cleansing in and around our nation. Most tragic and cruel cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits who become refugees in their own “Secular” country shows the real face of “Secular Nation”. Even in Bangladesh and now in Pakistan also. There are also incidents that happened since Independence where the appeasement to minority religions has caused many threats to our nation itself. On the other view, in side our nation itself where majority of people are Hindus who’s every Morning Prayer ends with “Om Shanti Shanti Shanti”, how many times these words had lost its meaning by them? Those who claim that Hindu religion teaches tolerance, respects all human beings and their religion demolished Babri Mosque in the name of Rama just to take revenge. In view of all these the question raises is that whether the religion is more than mankind? Does it serving the purpose to the humanity which it is meant for?

                Considering now the case of Hindus in Taliban dominating Pakistan first thing is those who fled from there and came here for shelter are to be given the same here. And because of their religion they must not be neglected or not to be over treated. We must help them on the basis of mankind. Also since the majority of our national people belong to the religion of these people who are suffering due to the cause of their religion they must be safe guarded. It is not because our nation is “Hindu Rashtra” but because our nation is “Secular”, So emotions and sentiments of people of all religion are given fare and equal treatment. If west concerning over attack on Christians is correct and Muslim nations concerning over the Muslim attack is right same holds for India to take concern over problems of Hindus in other nation even though they are not citizens of India. But for the people who are not citizens of India we can not afford to take care permanently. One of the main reasons is till now the refugees lived in other nation and utilized the resources of them as their own because of their own wish or for not having other alternatives. So their land is not India. And it must be our nation final concern that those refugees get back to their own land with the secure and independent life there. It is our nation responsibility as a neighborhood nation that humanity is maintained in our neighborhood. We can not wash our hands saying it is their nation concern and not of us.

Our nation is many times referred as big brother of South Asia. And we never tried to boss on any but tried to bring the humanity and peaceful independent life to the people of other nations also. As otherwise we can not have peaceful nation where neighbor countries are burning with fire. But this brotherhood seems sometime biased in nature. It is transparent that because of DMK pressure Pranav Mukherjee visited Srilanka tried to stop the brutality on innocent Tamilians in Srilanka in the name of removing LTTE. Since Independence there are many refugees from Bangladesh many of who illegally intrude into our soil and are consuming our resources. It was bold leader like Indira Gandhi tried to solve this issue by creating one more nation called Bangladesh. Now congress is left with only diplomats who can only talk and talk and TALK only. But still the Bangla refugee intrude not completely stopped and they are illegally getting ration card and other facilities utilizing our tax money. Because there is no political pressure this continues even though our nation’s security is in danger. Now Pakistan left Hindu refugees. If anybody raises the voice to help them and to pressurize or to aid Pakistan to give the safe life for Hindus there, it will be termed as communal and non secular. If our actions are biased then why to term ourself as Secular Independent and peace loving nation?

I know this issue is not so easy to resolve. Putting pressure on Pakistan directly or by international means still worsens the situation in Pakistan and weakens the civilian government there. We have to take bold decision of direct action. It may not be by military operation but aiding Pakistan government in terms of handling this situation of pressure from both sides. But there is no bold leader left in our current government who really wants to solve this issue. They are just waiting for the people to forget 26/11 so that their incapabilities are hidden by the non working “Pressurizing Pakistan” funda.

Pakistan is our neighbor and if we do not solve its problem tomorrow our land of Panjab will be divided and we may have TOP i.e. “Taliban Occupied Panjab”!! I wish this should not become true!!

Is it Just 300 Crores, Pakistan is Owing to us?

Just one more owe with Pakistan from 60 years. Here is the News element. It is not just money that Pakistan is owing to our nation but also more than that are life of humans. Will that be paid? Who is asking?

 Following are some of the views in TOI Web site. More comments Here

SURESH,GHANA,says:PAKISTAN USED 300 CR TO BUY ARMS & SUPPLIED TO TERRORIST TO DESTROY INDIA. BETTER FIND OUT HOW MUCH LOST DUE TO TERRORIST SINCE LAST 60 YEARS. SO CALCULATE 300 CR DAMAGE COST BY TERRORIST, THEN COLLECT THE AMOUNT FROM PAKISTAN, SO ALL STUPID INDIAN POLITICIANS CAN FILL THEIR POCKETS

Aarnika,Malad,says:Wow, that comes to 1570.38 Crores only if we put the 3% rate of interest agreed, excluding penalties. Probably a company like Satyam / Maytas could have easily afforded that money to vanish in no time today. The whole nation was run in less than 260 Crores that time, cannot be run today in amount that is 3300 times more today. Does it mean, the rupee value has eroded by 3300 times? Whatever it is, it is our money, and what has our government done to get it back? 

saji,cochin,says:Why dont government appoint Shiv Sena,MNS,Ram sene as recovery agents and send them for collection.At least they will do some good for the country by recovering dues in such hard pressed times.

Ravi,Chennai,says:Then why the hell, the indian government is trying to wash their sacks again and again. They are NO WAY SUPERIOR TO US. Kindly mind it. Dont pledge INDIA to them. IT is a CRIME. They are heartless people. Cut all the connections with PAK for 6 months. Then only, they will realize the greatness of BHARATHA MAATHA.

Sunil,sydney,says:Congress and no doubt Mahatma Gandhi gifting away more of India. Yes Indians are for sale cheap at the price, buy your shares via the blind Indian public who have voted for idiots. May not seem like a large sum but at least people like myself and my family who lost their homeland during partition to Pakistan should also be compensated. We were not asked if we wanted partition but were simply asked to leave or killed. We lost a lot of family members. To Indians our blood was cheap to spill and they votes the idiots who were responsible for this in year in year out. Give us our money!

R Raghavendra Ravi,Chennai,says:But we continue to play cricket with Pakistan and include their cricketers in IPL and pay them crores again - such a shoddy foreign policy!! Oh my countrymen when will you wake up??

dope4datish,California, USA,says:This is what happens when you elect a bunch of nincompoops to run the country. Instead of getting the 300 crores back, India will rather give away Indian occupied Kashmir to Pakistan. This is the state of our country. Then again what do you expect from a bunch of losers who can't even give a fitting reply for the Mumbai terror attacks?

William,Sharjah,says:This is what India doing all along, dragging on things without any answer. Add to the above figure the cost of 2.5 wars. Spineless succesive govt. has let us down.

Freedom of Expression of Love V/s Moral Police's Indian Culture

I hope the topic does not need any introduction as this has become hot news now. Well, I am not here arguing for any of the side. I am just worried about the things that are making our nation a joke in front of world.

Every day in 365 days of the year is termed with some name.  Father's Day, Mother's Day, Children's Day, Valentine's Day, AIDS day, Cancer day, No Tobacco day, No Alcohol day (Dry Day!)... and this list goes on. As far as celebration of these days are concerned it is all personal and no one else has any business if it is not effecting them in anyway.

Coming to hot topic of day of February 14. Celebrated as Valentine's Day all over the world as day to celebrate the love with loved ones. Check Here  and Here For History of the day. But some fanatic people who can not love and loved by humanity are preparing to create more hatred and terror on that day where the love has to celebrated. Here are their statement in independent India.  And they are not stopped till now. No arrests were made for giving such a terror like statement which may cause humanity in threat. At least relief is that Karnataka's Home Minister said (only says!!) that if needed (??!!)Goonda Act will be invoked against those taking the law in to their own hands.  i.e. government waits till some couples gets hurt by these Self Styled Moral Police to act upon!! 

As already said celebration of Valentine's day is also choice of a person and no one has any right to stop it. As for everything on earth there are different days to celebrate and for greatest emotional value of humanity called "LOVE" also got a day for celebration. Currently everywhere only hatred, terror is spreaded and such celebration of love will make humanity to bind together to move forward the homo-sapien race.

But the way in which it is celebrated is what I am concerned here.  Here many times limits are crossed in the name of  freedom of expressing love. Here where the some people forget the impact of their conduct on society. It may be quite easy to say to have freedom of expression to those who do not care much about social values and conduct. The growing teenagers and the youth who study in schools and colleges are that part of society who will become movers of this country are having their eyes and ears open always. And what must they learn when their elders are bunking classes, proposing their own classmates who comes to school/college for education,  spending parent's hard earned money to impress their lovers, kissing publicly and all other rubbish irresponsible acts just because they have freedom to do so on that day? One can not say them that it is my business and who are you to bother, can any? Because they will not come into your "Business of Love" but they spoil their life in falsehood love.  So who has to caught for their life being mislead? 

Is it required to show the world with such expression that a person loves somebody?  Also such type of "creating and getting" impression based love is not termed as pure love and the Valentine's day is not for these low values to celebrate. It has greater and deeper meaning of loving each individual with same affection. Those who are in pure love does not need any day to show the same with celebration. Because love is permanent and always shared irrespective of the day. But still currently in this busy machine like life style where people hardly gets time to express their love towards their partners such days are becoming necessary in our nation also. It is not only for this even the Father's Day, Mother's Day are all brought here because of our complex life style which we have already borrowed from west. 

Many people are waiting for Feb. 14 to express their love and show them that they love their loved one!!  Of course marketing people in malls, shopping centres, media etc are all preparing themselves to get as much money they can by distributing payable "LOVE".  And not to forget Sri Ram Sene is also waiting for the day Feb 14 !!

With India having so many social problems already this is one more entry since Independence. And even the educated citizens are also blindly watching this or allowing this to grow as a major social problem. And for this both the sides are responsible. Of course the so called Moral police are more responsible for the creation of this, but those who argue for freedom expression of "such" type of love are also accountable for the same. 

We the educated people or so called intellectuals has to address this, as how should this day or celebration such days are taken into Indian society. We must understand that unless we stop this word war/ mischief / social problem or whatever within ourself we can not be move further in bring valued society and to come up in world. We can not directly copy whatever the way the west follows in their society because of the obvious reason that we care and respect for valued life and society and not for individual pleasure only. However the act of Hindu Extremists who are bringing bad name of our nation's aim of peaceful world are also to be suppressed by strong force. If such people have a problem in terms of Tradition and culture being lost, there are democratic means of fighting against this by public awareness,open debates etc. Let the people of India decide what should they follow and how they follow it!!
