WHAT THE POLITICIANS ARE EXPECTED TO DO AND WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING?

The great Indian elections are going on. You play any news channel and you find some politician delivering speech as the part of his/her election campaign. You can also find them on various debates taking place on the news channels. They may also be giving interviews to those same channels. No matter what show is being telecasted, it is inevitable to see some politician talking on the screen.

WHAT ARE THEY TALKING?

Please note that I talk about the majority because exceptions can be found in anything related to this human world. The majority of these politicians do not talk at all but IT BLAMES!!!

You ask them what your party has done? Their answer will explain what the opposition party has not done.
You ask them why were you alleged in this case? Their answer will explain how the opposition party falsely trapped them in that case.

You ask them what are you planning to do? Their answer will explain what they will not do as the opposition party did in its ruling period.

When they are made to sit and debate on some issue they start fighting like monkeys and the debate never reach its conclusion.

Even a kids in 5th standard of a good school knows that when they are asked to sit and express their views then they are neither told nor supposed to fight. THE GREAT PARADOX IS THAT THESE MATTERS ARE NOT EVEN WORT FIGHTING.


THEN WHAT SHOULD THESE POLITICIANS DO?

Well this should be asked to voter for getting the answer. Being a voter what do you expect a politician to do? Growth of the country? Development of your area? Removal of corruption? Safety of women? Jobs? Increment in salaries? Reduction of Taxes? Higher level of education? Anything that leads to development?????
Is their behavior fulfilling our expectations? Are their petty fights telling you how the country will develop? You may wander even these politicians are thinking about such issues! What will be the pace of our country on the track of growth if it remains in such hands?

Even if they are telling that they are going to do something for development then also they do not care to tell how they are going to do so? Because they have not thought over it at all. They are incumbent to do so. Their views are not that broad. Their vision is not that big. 
REST IS IN THE HANDS OF VOTER. THINK THIS BEFORE THINKING ABOUT ANY PARTY OR ANY ELECTION CANDIDATE.

PS: I am not in favor of any party nor against any, it is necessary so that my views remain unbiased. That is the reason why i have neither used the name of any party nor given the example of any politician.

ARE YOU REALLY AGAINST RAPES?


Rape cases are the burning issues in our country. Every single person talks with total hatred about the culprits of such crimes. Every single person has almost the same suggestions for what should be done with these culprits. Hang them, beat them till death, shoot them, Do anything no matter if it's human or inhuman act.

Such behavior of our common people shows that they hate rapes Isn't it? They do not want any rape case to take place in any part of the world, is that right? They want a totally clean society which is perfect and safe for each and every women on earth, don't they? If this is so then doesn't it imply that these people should be ready to do anything that is required to uproot this evil from the land? But this is not happening and that's the bitter truth. People are just discussing these issues and not doing anything more than that. If you think that this is not so then go and find out that how many of all the people who are against rapes has done something to fight against it? I'm not saying that nobody is doing anything but I'm talking about the majority. This majority picks up the newspaper, read the news, shows its anger towards what it read and then puts the newspaper back on the table. And to that majority I want to say that discussions do not end problems but actions do!

THE HOLLOWNESS OF INDIAN CULTURE

We Indians are proud on our broad, vast and ancient culture. It is a treasure for us. The culture of arranged marriages is also one of the shining gems which belongs to this treasure. The 'Firangees' (western people) admire us for it, and why would they not admire? Through arrange marriages
we not only bond two people with with a cordial relationship, but we do the same with two families.

An incident reminds me the inception of such a cordial relationship between two families. It happened when my Aunt, a mother-like figure ( because I call her my Ma-si) approached the age of getting married. A boy's family approached her family.But they had some requirements, and these requirements were mandatory to be fulfilled as they have given birth to a boy, which, according to our society, makes them the greatest and the holiest. So the holy requirements were as follows-

  •  The girl should wake up at 5 in the morning, as her future mother in law was a teacher, she required lunch to be prepared at 5.
  • The girl should do everything on her own without hiring any help from anybody.
  • The girl should bear a son ( her son was her third child after two daughters, and then we wonder how India has got such a big population)
  • The girl should welcome every relative, no matter if you are taking rest or you are sick.

And finally

  • A huge amount of money as dowry!!

There were some more holy requirements for the marriage ceremony as well, like

  • The financial burden of the reception ceremony to be managed by the girl's family.
  • Car in dowry
  • Clothes for each and every relative
  • AC rooms in the hotel where marriage was taking place.

In short it was a ceremony for getting a son bearing machine cum maid cum shortcut to acquire a lot of money in a single shot!!

I am more than glad to be born in the land of saints and sages and I had my mind fully stuffed with all morals at a tender age, I also feel surprised when I discover the hollowness of value system of ours.
