Is India really democratic???Its certainly bureaucratic.The people who rule make the rules.They are actually supposed to be membrs nominated by us who are actually one among us.Eventhough they seem like bein approachable and stuff they r always one step above a normal man walking the streets today.
I really dont understand for whos benefit r certain laws being changed.A normal man has no say in the amendments or a new law .But a powerful business man can get it changed accordin 2 their will. Money speaks louder than words.!!
Take for instance the HELMET rule,who suffered the most?Not the one who created the law.He would be commuting by car.Helmet or no helmet nothing matters for him.But it is the middle class who is affected,you make helmet compulsory,people throng the shops and get the helmets and one week after the implementation no one cares if you are wearing the helmet.Now a guy who earns a nominal salary walks on a tight rope every month.Think of his position when he has to shell out an extra 300 bucks for the helmet.The authorties do not consider all this.They just wanna impose it.The only guy who benefitted by tis was the helmet company.Sometimes i just think it was an arrangement of the helmet manufacturers to boost up their sales.These guys have made a hell a lot of fortune in the last 2 months.
But who is the government to impose something like a helmet to be compulsary????Democracy means for the people by the people and to the people....i don see any of these three happening.Sometimes i just feel so helpless.You see that something very wrong is happening and you can do nothin about it.We jus keep screaming "YOUTH IN POLITICS" but in today's situation a 45 yr old is considered to be a young politician.
Average age of UK s cabinet is 49.Number of ministers under the age of 40 are 5 and ministers above 60 is only one.But India,u can easily make out the difference.The majority of our cabinet ministers are in their late 70's or early 80's.Our youngest MP is 38 years old.Now dont talk experience.You can have experience but need energy to execute stuff.
But it is virtually impossible for a normal youngster to enter politcs and make it big overnight.It would literally take decades for him to wrk his way to the top.But by then he would be in his 70's.India's politics is structured in such a way that a youngster can make it big early if he has the backing.Take for example the Congress government ,Jyotiraditya M. Scindia is a young MP in his 30s but he is the son of the former congressman Madhavarao Scindia and belongs to the royal family.Dayanidhi Maran,the former IT minister is the grandson of Karunanidhi.How else can a young man reach such a position so early in life.
U cant change the system...The system ll change you....YOU HAVE TO BE CORRUPT TO BE A POLITICIAN-thats the mantra
Got to live with it...no other go

well frankly speaking, i do understand your feelings... it is but the middle class which gets affected the most. Every individual belonging to this sect feels the same and are all on a vain, tempered state. But your example of the helmet wouldn't suit this particular argument :P when you can get a goddamn bike, how far would you have to spend on a helmet? And its being said for your own safety you DA! :P but a good post on the idiotic system that we have... i'm with you on this da! keep writing... and cheers :)
even i agree with ur opinions on this... our system has to be changed.. just screaming "youth in politics" is merely not enough.. thy have to really get in.. wonder how many youngsters are serious in politics.. thnik only a few.. these lok paritan groups are example for this..youth can only talk and these budda people are taking adv of it.. india vl progress in the same speed of our 70 yr so called "experienced" ministers... we badly need some real gud youngsters who do not have dis 'dynasty politics' background... hope to c smebdy soon...only thn India vl b saved...
Good one machi.
Arun,I believe that the helmet rule was filed by a person called "Traffic" Ramasamy. I have read his article in some magazines. He looks simple and I think he has not so sophisticated. But I will agree with you wearing this god damn helmet in a climate like this is such a curse to all of us. Is Helmet rule is for all or only for men? I see womens not wearing helmet as it was ruled out for them. Is it true?
