Professional Politics

Now Indian polity is getting disconnected from grass-root reality. Politics has been downgraded to mere management of seats. At one hand it is lacking serious discussion and on the other side it has become more blame game. Media has turned just a highlighter. They are not giving the theme, crux of discussion or speeches of leaders, technocrats etc. They are just chipping out some sentences, part of sentences and start elaborating on that. What is the intent of the discussion has become immaterial. Now one can’t talk freely. While elaborating things, circumference may be altered. One’s idea should be judged based on center and not on circumference.

Right based politics is becoming mirror of communism. If one is going against left wing ideology, he is considered enemy of people. Because of such philosophy, they are following uni-political party regime. Similarly, patriotism has taken center stage in politics and one is being easily blamed as anti-national if they are questioning some political figures. So it also pushes one party regime equivalent to kingship.

Politics is nothing but election of leaders who are supposed to run home as well as keep the head of nation erect on international forum. Terrorism is not a new thing and people are much aware that they have to keep in my mind that they have to select a leader who will lead the nation and protect its people from the ire of terrorism. Still there are also pressing issues like employment, equality issue, home, energy etc which will also be given some weightage in the selection of leader. Those who are opposing such arguments, they are themselves doubting on the ability of their own party.

Whichever party you belong or support, you should respect democratic values. Nation, religion etc are strengthening not merely by electing a government, but working hard for above cause honestly in daily activities. 

Following the teaching of great saints that one should live in present for ultimate happiness, politics should not be pushed back in history (Nehru-Patel debate) or bounced in future (threat from Pakistan or threat to some particular community), but it should consider present socio-economic scenario and work for development.
