I said, what do I know?
Show me the right way to go...


"Rule is evil, and it is none the better for being majority rule/democracy....What is the ballot? It is neither more nor less than a paper representative of the bayonet, the billy, and the bullet. It is a labor saving device for ascertaining on which side force lies and bowing to the inevitable. The voice of the majority saves bloodshed, but it is no less the arbitrament of force than is the decree of the most absolute of despots backed by the most powerful of armies."


Democracy, one of india's few shinging beacons in the current state of world affairs. A tool, used as much to feel proud about ourself, as it is used to leverage ties with the prosperous countries...and even at times to beg for help in times of calamity.
Democracy, taught to young minds thoroughout the country as the best, most impartial, just and righteous system of all.
Democracy,where the voice of PEOPLE is above all........

But is all this actually true??Is the current state of political affairs in our country the best it can be? Hardly...

• mass protests by the PEOPLE against misuse of reservation as a vote-bank tool, still no political party speaking against it...
• the judiciary being mocked at again; and again...at the whim of the RULING govt
• absurd promises of free power being fulfilled, crippling the state economies...
• no money to build roads in the country, yet no hesitation in increasing the millions already being spent on the burgeoning bureaucracy...
• an imminent energy crisis about to happen in near future...in on of the world's FASTEST economy
• a food grain crisis ALREADY here

what's going on? who are these people...supposed to be from whithin US, for US? where is the ACCOUNTABILITY? is democracy an EXCUSE for being wasteful, inefficient, power-hungry...and plain SHAMELESS? why is the NEW india, the intellectual hub of the world, at their mercy??
is there a solution? i want to vote...but who do i vote for?
is it time for a revolution...a change for the better? whom do we follow? marx? mao?...hitler?
i don't know.

"Democracy is nothing but the Tyranny of Majorities, the most abominable tyranny of all, for it is not based on the authority of a religion, not upon the nobility of a race, not on the merits of talents and of riches. It merely rests upon numbers and hides behind the name of the people."
