Being Indian is not enough
by rakesh dikshit on Feb 16, 2008 05:02 PM

Very interesting & factful statement of realities of life within India. V boast that India is the largest democracy but it needs correction.. India is the largest literate but uneducated democracy. Had literacy lead 2 learnings (of becoming educated) this fallacy reg democracy wud never have arisen

One finds PILs' being filed on very innocuous & frivilous issues. The listed issues in this wrtiteup 4 democracy where caste and caste/religion based grouping shd be stopped by decision frm Supreme Court.

Politicians hv found these very loopholes in Law and are clever to exploit it. The hands of politicians need to be tied and bound for passing & securing further laws & rules 2 ban such brazen acts of undemocratic ommissions.

There is no need to highlight ones own political leanings but it is in the hands of the majority to ensure proper political behaviour through polls.

Be it Mr Raj Thakery or Ms Mayawati or Mr Modi or Mr VP Singh or Mr Lalu or Mr Karunanidhi etc. who espouse the cause of the downtrodden by creating a divide amongst the social fabric, it shud be shunned publicly. There shd be some mechanism whereby the politicians shd be prevented from creating a castebased divide by law.

This requires continuous efforts by all law abiding citizens to rise above their personal affiliations and prevent the situation from going out of control.

Form a party/group which is anti castist and the majority will follow them to rout this culture of divide and rule.
