I'd like to ask you a question, Are you satisfied with the government's performance today (the outgoing government, not the newly elected government)? If Yes, leave me your number I'd like a dose of your positive spirit too, If No then tell me what are YOU doing to change it! If you are NOT satisfied with something, then why do you accept it. Why do you ignore it, WHY don't you CHANGE IT!!! W H Y ?
I don't need to take your permission for this; I can say this clearly and confidently that Indian politics today - sucks! BIG TIME! NO Doubts there. So my next question is, what do we do about it. This problem has been lying around with us for such a long time that it has become a part of the system, Hell it has become the system itself! So my next Question is, what practical, feasible, and permanent solution do we have to tackle this impossible-like problem?
I believe that educating the politician is both crucial and necessary today. A certain educational program should become a pre-requisite to contest the elections. A special course\degree should be made mandatory for all aspiring politicians for which a rigid entrance test should be taken, and only those who pass their final examinations with good scores should be allowed to contest the elections. I say this with many reasons. One, this would entail the public with a natural and trustworthy system for rating the politicians. Two, because it is senseless and idiotic to allow an illiterate, uneducated, and untested person to run and command a whole nation of learned men.
Think of it this way, while an uneducated \ unqualified person is not considered worthy of an ordinary 9-to-5 job, he is given the privilege to govern the brightest and the most cultivated minds of the country !If knowledge is power then how and why are the politicians given such supreme power when they don't have an iota of knowledge or intellect?
A Politician holds the highest and the strongest position in the world. He controls the whole society, his thoughts and philosophies are legally enforced upon millions, they have the power to influence a billion lives; they have the power and the responsibility to better a billion lives so how and why should we leave such an important position of the society
for the unchecked and the unknown? When we choose to empower the most knowledgeable and the educated to run the companies of our country then why do we employ such unsuccessful and unpolished people to run our government?! As somebody has rightly said, "If we won't entrust our children to the politicians then how can we entrust them with our country?"!!!!
It is time that we, the educated drop down and participate in national politics and change the perception of politics itself. It is time that we assume responsibility that the development and growth of us individuals and eventually our country rests with us, and by not participating in it and by calling it names, we are merely running away from our responsibilities.
Politics is not bad, it has only assumed a bad reputation and it is up to us to change that!
If we think that the current horde of politicians are inefficient and corrupt then we need to step down and prove that we are better than them by doing their work better than them or else we should accept that we are worse than them because despite realizing their ineffectiveness, we fail to do any better than them and rather we continue to allow them to be re-elected to power and at times even help them get re-elected for our own greedy needs! And then we go on singing to the world that these politicians are good for nothing, they are the reason that the country is in shambles. Helloo, excuse me who do you think has elected these politicians? YOU YOURSELF so why throw mud at them when you yourself are engulfed in dirt, at least they are decent enough to do misdeeds in the open and then accept them openly, but we don’t even have the courage to accept it! And to top it all, we call ourselves a Democracy, the world’s largest Democracy. Shame on us!
More Suggestions in the same regard are on their way. Meanwhile you may give suggestions about how I can better my article or my thought process. Thanks!
