Shame Shame!!!!!!
Indian democracy seems to be achieving nadir of decadence in public life. But the problem is that we are sliding down a abyss. Recently Indian MP’s were caught on a camera with taking bribes. That too for asking questions which probably is their only work left. The worst part is amount ranges from 15k-100k. These are our policy makers whom we trust with our futures.

But actually we cannot blame them…we all are responsible for it. In Sanskrit there is a saying that “King is just a depicition of public”. These MP’s are one of us so they are selfish, greedy & corrupt. Can we blame them when almost 50% of people don’t vote.
Almost all of the governments are alliance cobbled up just to stay in power. No party gets more than 40 % of total votes which is less than 20 % of total.

Now is there a talk that people need to be given a right of calling their representatives back. That means the solution is more foolish than problem itself. Nobody is talking of making this people more accountable. The selection of these candidates should be made more transparent.

That too it was disclosed on 12th December, a day before 4th anniversary of “Parliament Attack”. Our democracy is in danger of internal as well as external foes. External are terrorists and neighbours but internal are much more than them.
