In most of the countries (other than India) the countries interest comes first. But in India the political parties looks everthing in how it effects thier vote bank.The Opposition parties will never support the ruling government even if the ruling govt is doing some good for the nation.

Which party is an exception? Those who allowed one Italian to flee our country with Rs. 21 crores of tax payer's money? Those who lead the Rath Yatra and whose President was caught on camera accepting bundles of notes? Those who threaten the duly elected Govt in Kerala in the name of religion and minority rights? Those who live and benefit from the Indian soil but have loyalty to the sands of Arabia? Why single out the "commies" ?

Commies are any better than the rest. At least they are not as corrupt as the others.

I am not sure what you have written is correct (I very much doubt its varacity). Do you know how much has been amassed by the likes of K.Karunakaran, Mani, etc and shady religious leaders like Mata Amritananda Mayi, Yohannan, various (fake) swamis, thangals, etc? The "commies" are also bound to get corrupted when they live in a soicety that is corrupted from top to bottom.

Yo are right, Avinash. Communist are morally corrupt while other are mentally corrupt.

ya, they share the money/ power with their cader. Their cadre controll the village / panchayat in bengal and have proper share. Nothing can move without their permission.
Indemocracy if a party suvives 6-7 election then it means that something is wrong. Either people are fool or party has userp the right to vote

I agree with Avinash, and in fact would like to add to it: it is not just in India but EVERY single country in the world where there are people in power who would like to remain in power -- yes, one can claim that in some places there seems to be more of a patriotic semblance than other, but I think that is just a mirage -- it is all surface stuff -- once the sh it hits the fan, they all run.
What I will concede though, is that in certain places there may seem to be less of a corruption at the lower levels of societal life, but that's it.
At the end of the day, you get what you pay for, especially in a democracy, where you will get monkeys if you elect them.
Having said all that, I believe that Indians need to be held to a much higher standard, because I am an Indian my self and I believe that we need to lead the way. So, I think that we should all make a change in our own lives first, you know, quit the sab chalta hai -- and it is infinitely more difficult to do so for most of us, than it is for me to say it -- but that is what we have to do. Since, we seem to be the ones who cry the most foul, we need to be the ones who have to act the most as well...
If after all this nothing changes (and I highly doubt that), then I am willing to listen to another plan...
So, what say, for a change quit whining and start doing ?

Yes, start doing. Let us think above narrow concepts like religions. We all are free citizens of a great country. Let us not divide ourselves in the name of caste, religion, region, etc.
As we used to say in the Schools, say again: India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters. I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.......
