In India, the paternal family holds more importance and precedence but hardly anyone knows about the "Gandhi" paternal existence. Obama and Bobby Jindal had to reassure the American voter that they are converted christians in a country which boasts of freedom to personal denomination. Why do we not know about the faith of the "Gandhi's" ?
Who are these people to rule us for 50 years and yet in their own constituency the illiteracy percentage has gone up to 73% ? Why have they not shown any progress in their own regions? The reason is simple, the more the people know the lesser possibilities of they duping people.
UttarPradesh is devoid of electricity for almost 12 hours in temperatures of 40 C. UP has produced the maximum PrimeMinisters, yet why has it not seen any progress. Slavery is the word. These are the people who know that India resides in the villages and to keep their power they have to keep literacy and development away.
Today it is time to ask direct, obvious questions even if they are snide and supercilious to the politicians. I understand that no change can happen by being outside the system, but the people inside the system need to be accountable to someone, and that someone is You - the janata of the country. So guys ask - do you want another 5 years of slavery, terrorism, castesism and low self esteem. Root it out - Vote for Change .

You said 10th April was your last post about this topic ,however you have really touched a raw nerve, in India you can write a Phd on various family trees in politics just try it you have ample work in your hands,why politics only, here anybody who gets a chance to push their family doesn't think twice before sidelining others may be this is willed by God some may argue otherwise why is a person in the family?past Karmas perhaps, this is true even for domestic helps who have an extended network and are ready to push anyone out who is not from the clan, see this is our uniqueness.
The Congress is a pseudo secular party, its hands were drenched with the blood of thousands of Sikhs after the death of Indira Gandhi. It followed vote bank politics by appeasing the Muslims. It shamelessly collaborated with Muslim league in Kerala and MIM a Muslim fascist party in Andhra Pradesh. It gave tickets for the seats of MPs MLAs on the basis of caste,creed and money power. The Congress mortgaged the interests of India to the American imperialists and MNCs by entering into nuclear agreement and converting fertile lands into SEZS (partly good though :-( ).
In order to win the trust vote, the Congress party purchased the MPs votes called cash for votes scam. Had the left not intervened , the UPA would have permitted FDI in banks and insurance companies in India and thus caused for their collapse.
If all this is too complicated - my theory is pretty simple - What good has Congress done in last few year? If a corrupt party is anyways to rule the country why not TRY for a change - BJP this time and see how bad they are :-) . They might turn out less WORSE than the current govt.
Afterall dont they say - Umeed par to Jevaan Kayaam Hain !!!!!!
Jai Guru Dev
change to whom??
how will anyother party ensure things are better..
i think change has to come from people. They have to be more demanding. Thus must demand proper service, proper behaviour etc. i think our country do empower its people reasonably well including say PILs, RTIs etc. But how many people themselves engage in good behaviour, have spotless character. First build your own character and then ask others. Else it'll be your destiny.
You think only the netas are corrupt. What about the holier than thou aam aadmi..yeh aam aadmi saa** khud hi morally bankrupt, hypocrite, selfish gan** hain. What right they have to kichar uthao on others..??
change self first and demand from others.
bringing out facts is different from keechar uthao. We certainly have a right to know as to why are we being deceived by the Gandhi Family.
If sacrifice is what we value, then, where is the son, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi ?
Did you know that the grand son of Rajendra Prasad is just another bank manager in Punjab National Bank in Patna?
Those who marketed well their children are still having an asset of $2.2 billion in Swiss bank (according to a Swiss Magazine, which had a captioned photo of Rajiv Gandhi attached)
BJP has shown the example of growth in Gujarat, and Congress has shown the example of Political games in 50 years, though along with subsidiary Growth also.
My conviction is that one should always be alert and discerning about politics and political developments. But when you have a public life(when so many people look up to you for guidance) your political affiliation should not dominate in your advice.
Democracy is the winner in our country, the election has proved. Let us hope that all parties will uphold the values and principles of democracy, not showing their muscle power or money power.
