What is bothering Us

The gross, ugly, dead and rotten are the adjectives to describe the society where men are so lowly, self-indulgent that not a single shred of humanity is left in them. Some are so shameless that it sickens me in the stomach to see their faces. They are power brokers in a democracy where the people are powerless. Powerless, because they produce such leaders; because the collective conscience of the society is dead. The wisdom of our national movement to build a secular, socialist and democratic republic has been trampled by the greed and lust for power and money.

Today Kalmadi was arrested by the CBI. The gross irregularities and obvious lapses made him a clear accused in the scam yet govt. did not fire him or asked for his resignation. He should have resigned for the mismanagement of the games alone. Adamant Kalmadi for whom the post of President of Indian olympic Association was almost a permanent job had hardly any shame in blatant refusal to quit inspite of the clear case against him. On the contrary Kalmadi made several foreign visits apparently to help Indian sports, while it could have provided him with the wherewithal to cover the scam and tamper the evidences against him. Prime Minister was waiting for Kalmadi's decision on the date and time of his arrest or resignation. Kalmadi will get his name cleared or the case will be prolonged due to lack of evidence. CWG was the Jackpot for Kalmadi and could well be the last supper for him but a meal that will satiate his hunger forever. Kalmadi was given time, he was spared but why not? Everyone gets to do it and so will he. He has not done anything which was not done before. The corruption has become so organized and the investigating agencies are so toothless that it is almost impossible to book a criminal. The corruption at the highest level is nurtured and protected and it is no surprise that it blossoms. CBI cannot launch an investigation against a minister without PM's approval. The PM is riding the same boat so cannot order against his own govt. What a sham Indian laws are. Prime Minister thinks that people are foolish illiterates and would fall for his token action against corruption. He has taken his oxford degree rather too seriously or taken the intelligence of Indian people for granted. The time has come for the Indian masses to stand up for themselves. The biggest way to do so is to
Vote against this govt
. This is not to say that other politcial parties are doing well but a message has to be send. Congress has cheated and that too blatantly. It is a gang-rape in broad daylight(Raja, Kalmadi etc being the rapists assisted by PM). The Urban middle class needs to clear it conscience and take up the fight. Make sure that every adult votes and votes against this government. That will be the tribute to democracy.
