Traditionally there have been four seasons in India, but of late there seems to be some more seasons adding up like the festival season, the awards season, the elections season. With only few more days left to the first stage of elections and mercury levels already high in the political spectrum, this sure is an election season.
There are many reasons why people in India hate our politics and politicians through decades and the recent incidents like the insensitive remarks of ex-deputy CM of Maharasthra, Varuns hate speech in Philibit, the communal intolerance of Raj Thackeray, the ‘blood shed’ speech of Vaiko supporting LTTE, the giving of clean chit to Tytler, and the numerous criminals entering the political fray and the increasing corruption charges are no different.
Despite the odds, how did we then become the second fastest growing economy in the world?
The ‘Political” reason to this success story is that there are number of people whose hard work and tireless approach, foresight and reforms like the Manmohans, the Chidambarams, the Arun Shouries, the Sudhir Kumars, the Suresh Prabhus, the TN Seshans, the Jayapraskash Narayans, and numerous others who are constantly in the public life and help resolve issues of aam jantha in their own respects led to the prosperity of this country and incorporation of some values into this democracy.
China, whose success is largely driven by a purposeful state, three-fourths of its politburo consists of young technocrats unlike India. Imagine India’s success if more and more young minds enter the political arena which as of now largely depends on private sector. It is hearting to see that many people, especially the young who were once proud saying that they never voted, they do not care about who forms the govt. are slowly but surely realizing that it is in their hands that the future of this country lies.
The fact that democracy is the only way to go, knowing that the politics is an intricate part of it, with optimism in our hearts, let us try to participate and ensure that good governance is delivered and if possible be a part of it.
