INDIA - DEMOCRACY - CORRUPTION - ANNA HAZAARE

FEEL INDIA ....... ANNA MOVEMENT AND NATIONAL PARTIES AS FATE DECIDERS.


CORRUPTION IS AND WILL BE THE BLOOD
RUNNING THROUGH THE VEINS OF DEMOCRACY
AND THE POLITICAL PARTIES INVOLVED IN IT
HELPING THE DEMOCRACY AND THE PARTIES SURVIVE



Starting Note: Feel India

Feel our nation.

It has to be the ideology and soul
Of any Indian.

Also of any party in India,
And of any of its leaders and workers.

It has to be the religion.

Being part of India,
Moving forward with India,
It should be more than
One’s need and yearning
To run and function India.


****************

Our talk and feel of/for our nation (India)
Should not be only like a ball
Played in the play-ground of politics,
By the parties as the players therein.
Every time trying to put the ball
In opposite’s post, than owning themselves

Only to win, and rule,
Against opposite parties
At the very heavy cost of the whole nation,
Its people,
Making the whole nation to be
Only their spectators.

*************** ***************

Yes, it is India, for sure.

If there is any country
As more than a country and a nation,
But a vision, a faith and a religion
With its instilled depths
To accommodate and tolerate
All different nations, faiths, visions and religions,
With all their differences within,
As one and the same,
It is, for sure, only India.

It is only India from its pre-history onwards.

And it will be only India
Towards unknown future too.


****************

Unlike any other country or nation,
India, this way, is and has to be viewed as
And Indian’s religion, faith and vision.


This is not because
Indian political leaders and party men,
Like club football players in any football club,
Or the political parties, like any football clubs
Anywhere in the world,
And their visions of profit making,
Wanted to see and make India to be the way it is.

It is just because India is
A land of truth and true visions
Able to accommodate and tolerate in and with it
All truths and visions
With all their differences and diversities,
Seeing oneness in diversity.


**************** ***************


DEMOCRACY – SOLE REASON OF CORRUPTION.

Kites will fly high and free.

But you are the one who get the kites
Reach high and free to fly.

If you can’t and if you don’t,
Don’t put blame on those kites.

Rather, in democracy
Some other will do what you don’t or you can’t do.

That is the only assurance that
The National Parties, like bankers, have in their mind,
Given their size and reachability.

************* ************

Parties in a democratic system
Are like kites,
Reached to the height by the hands of the people.

It won’t reach heights without connecting itself
With the people underneath it.

But when it is in height,
Fore sure, it is in the heights
That the common man can’t touch
Or even think of.

**************** *************

It is a fact, and it has become undeniable, that
National Parties, like INC and BJP, in India
Are India’s real fate deciders and drivers
As we perceive of them today.

To deny the national parties,
As the fate deciders and drivers of India,
To deny their existence, significance and role,
For any reason of their corruption or mis-governance,
Is like denying India or the identity of India.

************ ****************

You may have difference of opinion.
But that your different opinion
Cannot deny or change the fact.

You may need to have a change to this fact and reality.
But, unless and until your such need
Works out to be another prevailing fact and reality
You have to compromise with the present day reality and fact.

You may or you can deny.
But, that shouldn’t be
To get away from Indian reality and polity.

You may have reasons to criticize
These national parties’ attitude, stand and policy
Towards each and everything in India
That you feel as core to Indian polity.

May you have your opinion that
These national parties are or have been
Less sincere and dedicated
Towards the real and haunting causes of
Suppressed and poor in India
And towards the feel and pride of India.

May you have an opinion that
The parties have become like big industries
Or sports clubs or business concerns,
Diversifying their interests and
Investing with all they have with a motive
Only to make double and triple of the same as their profit.

You may have an opinion that
None of these national parties are
Without involvement of criminals and guntas
And no party in India can grow beyond a level nationally
If they are not supported by,
Or if they are not in compromise friendly with,
The guntas, criminals and mafias.

You may have an opinion that there exist a lot of
Internal and external flaws, conflicts and fallacies
With these national parties, their talks and walks,
In their dealing with the Indian realities, and
In relation to making of their policy, ideology and goal
In addressing the real issues in front of them,
Especially when you perceive and analyze them,
From your single or individual or regional
Or racial or religious or linguistic point of view.

But, abstaining from these political reality
You won’t help any correction process.
Rather you will be supporting and encouraging them
To continue with all what they have as mistakes and fallacies

Denying them can’t correct them.
To correct them, rather be part of them,
And start your correction process
From within, than without.

Looking for substitute to these national parties
Have become, through out the history,
Another fallacy giving birth to many regional and partisan interests
Fully indulged and involved in corruption
And pressure politics of corruption and bargaining.

Each of such regional or individual centered parties
Have been doing only wrong influence on Indian polity, in totality.

********** ************ *************

It is a true fact that,
The democracy as such is and has become very expensive.
Especially in a country like India,
With a population of higher poverty standard
And lesser awareness level.

Expensive because of unavoidable corruption
Perpetrated by the sole functionaries of Democracy.
The political parties and its leaders.


**************** *********


It is also a true fact that
No national party or regional party
Can function and mobilize itself nationally or regionally
Without the fund.

And none of them can amass such a big fund/wealth
To enable them to survive, function
And mobilize the people in their favor
Without being corrupt.


************* ******

Corrupt leaders and party-men can do nothing
But submitting itself
To the pressure and undue influence
Of the donators of the fund/wealth to the parties.

The fund earned by any party can’t be
Other than the corrupt fund.

And what the parties will do in return
Can’t be other than let loose their hands of power,
Which ultimately will expand the horizon of corruption
To the unimaginable length and breadth.

That is why, you may see through out India
No genuine candidates, just because they are good,
Winning any election
Against such big parties and its candidates.

Because of the money power based campaigning capacity
That those candidates and their parties have earned
Through the very big horizon of corruption.

Corruption and funds earned by such corruption
Is the only strong point those parties have
To fight all over India to further strengthen them up.

And the people, at the end will be made
To go for those who are, and who can be, in power
As per their analysis.

Especially when the majority of the people
In such democratic system
Are under-educated or uneducated
Or below poverty line
Or below below-poverty line.


************* ************


DEMOCRACY - A BURDEN AND LIABILITY

It is also a true fact that democracy has become
A burden and a liability
Than a convenient working system for the people of India.

Democracy has many inherent problems and limitations
Especially, when it is put in to function
In a very big country like India
With majority of people below poverty line
And under-educated or uneducated.

Also, in Democracy
People are asked to vote
Only open the door to the power
To any one before them
With no other option
Than to open (to close or to keep the doors closed)
Towards the candidates and parties,
Even if they happen to know for sure
That the fight for power is between
Two big evils, thieves or robbers.


*********** ************


Insecurity fear of the parties and its leaders
Of getting thrown out of power
Will make them, at least,
To be more corrupt while they are in power,
Or while they get chance,
To make their and their party’s fate
More secure and safe
When they are not, or when they will not be, in power.

Need of functioning their party machinery
In such a big country like India,
While in power and while not in power,
Will makes corruption
A necessary evil feature of democracy.

Especially when the whole electoral process itself is a very expensive
With no positive output for the welfare and wellbeing of the people.


************** **************


Kings were the stories of the past.
The set rule of such past was
Once in throne, it was for all.

Hence, less expensive was their way to the power
And continuing with the power.
with no cost to the people
For election and other works of electoral process.

Power succession as well was done with no cost.

As kings’ position was for them for sure, under no threat,
They had never to be corrupt to accumulate and amass
In fear of their or their family’s or party’s insecure future.

They had also never to be corrupt
To accumulate and amass wealth
To function and mobilize their parties for elections
With any kind of campaigning and canvassing
To remain and to continue to be in power.

Only evil thing that, at the most,
Might have accompanied with kings could be
Their personal luxuries habit
Which in Democracy are replicated by,
Each and every member of assembly and parliament
And their party men under many pretext.


************ ********

Corruption by parties
To enable them to function and remain as parties
Is understandable and unavoidable
In democracy.

Without such corruptions,
No party in a democratic system
Can make sure of its
Mere survival, existence and life,
As the main players
In the playground of democracy.

And no party in democratic system
Can be corrupt without involving in corruption
Each of its party leaders
Elected by the people through electoral process.

Each such leader or worker is only a party man
Asked to do corruption for and on behalf of such parties
And for pleasing the donators of the parties,
Wherefrom he will look for his own share
To secure and safeguard his unknown future
When get thrown out of the party or power.

This is the simple reason,
And simple give and take policy, of corruption
In a democratic system.


************* ***************

So, no party in a democratic system can claim
Clean and pure.

Since we have opted democracy
As a convenient and workable system
The corruption is and will be the blood
Running through the nerves of democracy
And the political parties involved in it
Helping the democracy and the parties survive.


************* ***********


In democracy
Justification and arguments by the parties
Are made because of their well set agenda.
Not otherwise.
No agendas are made by the parties
Because they have ideology or justification and feel for it.


*********** **************


So, seeking correction to the corruption
Can be done only educating the people
Of the grave mistake, limitations and weakness of democracy
And making them aware and conscious of the trap they are trapped in,
To react and protest against a corrupt system
That is eating up their own root and core like termites

And this reaction and protest has to take place
As per the rights they availed by the same system of Democracy.


That is how ANNA HAZARE movement against corruption is going on.
And there stays the significance of ANNA movement
Against corruption and corrupt India.


**************** *******
A BIG NATION OF MANY SELF RELYING SMALL NATIONS – GRAMA SWARAJS

Given the size and depth of corruption in India
Given its rampant nature
In all corners of administration and governance
ANNA HAZARE movement is justified,

Meantime,
It is also a fact that such a movement can’t have much desired result
For the same reason of given and depth of corruption.

This is the assurance by which and from which
Political parties get courage and strength
To play their game open and behind.

Also the very big size of India as a country
With its very heavy sized illiterate and poverty ridden population
More courageous and strengthened political parties and leaders
To face any kind of such agitation and protest.

For the simple reason that they know
That only they will be able, with such a big amassed wealth,
To mobilize and campaign length and breadth through out.


********** **********


Democracy has been successful experiment
Only in very small countries
Like that of Scandinavian states.
Or other European states.


Even in USA, no one can claim
The democracy, administration and governance,
Is completely free from the clutches
Big business and corporate boons.

But, still it has been more of success with less corruption
In USA and Europe
Just because people there are more educated and aware
And they are less poverty-ridden
Getting the parties and leaders there
To be accountable and responsible.

Whereas Indian political parties and leaders
Are the very best available examples of
Unaccountability and irresponsibility.

They can afford to be so
And big sized India can afford them to be so
For the simple reason that
The people of India are
Poor and illiterate.

Here, for this reason was
Father of our nation much far-sighted.

We have to go back to the idea and vision
Given by our father of nation,
Mahatma Gandhi,
To avoid and get rid of
This kind of looting corruption,
Big or small scale.

By having an India
Of self reliant small villages
Called Grama Swaraj
Whereby
The role for remote central administration
And scope of corruption thereby
Will be much reduced.


*************

BE AN INDIAN TO BE NON-CORRUPT..

So, before everything,
One has to be a real Indian,
In his faith, religion and vision,
Not to be corrupt at the cost of his own nation
And the cost of poor people therein.

Before yearning and looking for
Power to rule India,
One has to feel India and feel for India, and
Learn to dream of an India
That has to remain as India
As the one only land
That can accommodate all
With all their differences within and without.

When yearning to be the rulers or pursuers of power,
Be it is of panchayat or state or the whole India,
One needs to know that
He is not opting to live by himself
Happy and luxurious,
But are taking up the responsibility to be a servant
To make sure every Indian in India
Lives happily, feeling luxury of their life in their soul.

For that,
"India" has to become our thought and passion.
India has to become our belief and faith
India has to become our dream and goal
India has to become our vision and ideology”.

If one can’t make India his thought and passion
Knowing “India” and reach soul of India,
He can’t start loving India.

One has to be able to walk the paths and memories of India
Like he walks the paths and memories of his love.

Or one needs to put “India” in his mind
As his thought and passion,
Purposefully, exerting all his effort.

Like the people of religions
Give their purposeful efforts and exertion
To make their religion
Their thought and passion.

Being an Indian,
One’s first and foremost priority should be
To make India his thought and passion.

To know that India,
Unlike any other country or nation,
And more than any other religion,
Deserves to be and can be
One’s religion as well as a nation
And thought as well as a passion.

And being an Indian
He has to have the feel and know that
He won’t need to go beyond India
To know truth and reach your God.

India by itself,
With its history, culture, deep rooted vision,
As open to all direction, without confining
God or truth to any specific direction or language,
Can satisfy any one’s national and religious pursuits
And quench his spiritual and physical thirsts.

Only from India, One can have all the answers
In relation to all his quests and queries.

Only in India, One can go to any direction
To seek and meet God.

Only in India one can see and seek
God and truth in all the forms and formats.

Only in India, one can use any term of any language
To address and name his God.

No one will be imposed here in India
With any particular rituals in any particular mode
As dictated by any.

Only India, as a nation,
Can accommodate all these diversities,
Like the mother does it by itself,
With no other example anywhere in this known world.

It will be to anyone’s wonder
To see India withstanding all the challenges and conflicts
By accommodating all diversities
Within its vast geographical and demographical boundaries
And within it big population of 1.2 billion.

It is easy to blame,
Without acknowledging this simple fact.

It is very difficult,
But very easy only to those who can understand
India as religion and as well as nation,
To lead all in India hand in hand.
