Biggest Democracy!

We are amidst the election season right now. The biggest democracy in the world has gone to polls. We chose to be a democratic country, so that the people could decide who they want, to be the leaders of the country.

But is that really happening anymore?

Lets take a look:

1) Leaders are made from candidates who choose to contest the elections.
2) Candidates are chosen from the people who run political parties.
3) People who run political parties are powerful people with lots of varied interests.
4) Most of them have court cases against them.

So when we look at it, are we really choosing the people we want? The real picture is that, our choice is limited to the choice of the parties, which run at the whims and fancies of powerful people.

Democracy, maybe not. Hippocracy, May be yes.

So is it really democracy, or autocracy of a person, being camouflaged as democracy?

People in India, vote for parties with specific ideologies.

Fundamentalism, communism, secularism, minority favoritism...

These are the ideologies floated.

But are these parties really following it?

We need to verify, whether we actually believe in all this stuff...

Only when we will objectively decide, we will know whom to choose.

By now choices have been made, and elections almost decided, and another drain of our hard earned resources has taken place, to choose who will make money, who will be irritated because they cant, and will throw allegations.

At the end of it all...what about us?

Let the frustrations for the next five years (hopefully !) begin !
