"UPLIFTMENT OF THE DOWNTRODDEN"
This, apparently, should be the central-point of any election campaign, if anything is to be read from the just concluded Indian General Elections. The main reason being, the country has a good number BPL (Below Poverty Line). The very term is skewed in India. Reading a little into this would reveal more things.
It has been more than 50 years and the families (these are very similar to the Italian Don families, no reference to the soon-to-be ruler of my country) who have been benefitted from the 'Upliftment of Downtrodden' scheme don't want to give up their royal seat of being downtrodden. Its their asset and the only asset they can ever have in life, for it gives them more than what they can possibly earn, more than what they can ever achieve. The reasons are very simple
If they get educated and start working like every middle-class indian does,
1) They wouldn't get the 'free' stuff
2) Their children can't get the free 2-meal-a-day and egg-for-nutrition plans
3) They can't get rice at 2rs./kg
4) They don't get 'Ilavasa Vetti-Selai'
5) They'll have to pay tariff for electricity and water-tax
6) They won't get a house in the next 'Samathuvapuram'
7) They won't get a seat in a prestigious institution in the country, despite having subliminal intellect
All these for just living under a thatched roof, and what they have inside, nobody's bothered about. Cable television, an ice-box and more, apart from the basic necessities ofcourse.
Finally, its the middle class which gets oppressed. The pitiable factor though is, people who are supposedly learned either aren't bothered about what exactly is happening or are lured into this trap.
Why on earth should I pay taxes? Where do these taxes go? How the hell am I going to be benefitted by these? Its for building houses for these people who won't work, but 'd want to live like the 'classes', its for subsidising rates of all basic amenities for those wastrels, its for covering the skin of shameless souls, its for feeding the bottomless pits, its for everything except the betterment of the nation, its to see the working class from a low-level shopkeeper to a ranji player rot and die helplessly, their only mistake being earning a few rupees more than the damned slab and see it fill the coffers of MPs or decorate the huts of parasites, the parasites that sit in the host, suck the blood and die with the host.
Is there any way I can clean this mess? If only everybody realised what counts, if only everybody wanted the means to justify the ends, if only everybody realised his responsibility... and this everybody includes the culprit in me too.
So, where's my nation heading?
To all those who questioned 'who cares?', I DO. Every INDIAN does. Everybody who wants to have pride in calling himself a citizen of that country does. Every MAN does. Every soul which has values, principles and clear thoughts does. Its MY country and I don't want to see it get into savagery, I don't want some unscrupled foreigner to ridicule me or my countrymen and I don't want MY hardwork get pilfered into corrupted pockets.
Some day India will definitely shine, only that day has now been pushed further back

POLITICAL MIASMA
I've never been bothered about who ruled my country, until I was in my BE. But, this time, it was the second thing that kept me awake last night. I went to bed by around 4:30 this morning and got up at 10:00. The BJP has lost and I see it only as a defeat to sincerity. I know politics is a muddle, and have loathed the politicians, until, the greatest of them all, ABVajpayee came to power. There have been the others, but this man has managed it the best. To be a PM of this country, with coalition parties and bring out the best reforms in 50 years of independent India is no mean achievement.
It still confuses me as to what people thought the other party could do better. Chandrababu Naidu and J.Jayalalitha have been the biggest upsets, but, why should ABV lose? Is it because he did it all for the country? Is it because India-Pakistan relations are the best since partition? Is it because India is the second fastest improving country economically, after China? Is it because of the commendable plans he has brought in? Or is it because he's still been good, despite having few plunderers around him? There seems to be only one moral to be learnt, NEVER BE FAIR. All through this, I don't deny that the NDA has been involved in so many illegal acts, after all, people play politics in real life and cheat others, and at a level of ruling the nation and dealing with so much, there got to be some things that need be accepted and lived with, and will take a few decades before seeing the slightest change. But, the underscoring factor is, how well are the masses? How good has the country become for the common man to live? How is the nation known world-wide? How proud can a citizen get in calling it "HIS COUNTRY"?
It is a day of mourning for the whole country. This country has been damned. I am among those responsible for this, for the reason of poor turn-out, for damning my country, for not exercising my mandate, for being a muted eye-witness to the premature murder of some great development..
I am just hoping, the next PM takes cue from what was done over the last five years and takes India to betterment, sieve out the misdeeds and carry on with the good...
