WHERE DO WE STAND TODAY: THE SADDEST DAY OF INDIAN POLITICAL HISTORY

Wishing all you a very happy Saturday. The day that will be remembered for the outcome of floor test in Karnataka Assembly which will decide future of democratic accountability of a political party BJP that came with a promise of transparency and accountability.
But within 4 years of Modi rule we all are in tears to see the plight of everyone in the country.Many of you might not have seen Emergency of 1975 but you can easily  compare the present situation  with that period. Most of the Media houses have either seem to have sold themselves to a party  in government or have made some unethical  compromises with that party.
If 4  supreme court judges are comming out openly to ask the people to save democracy and its institutions  then situation is surely alarming.
I still remember  how the ex Chief Justice  of India Mr Thakur had cried in a meeting in which PM was also present.It means tgat government interference in judiciary  has increased
In a country if opposition  of the government  makes you anti national     and you are asked to leave the country then  situation is very serious and certainly  demands  some bigger action.
Today the only hope comes from two sides Supreme Court and we the people of India. Hope we will wake up and fulfil our national responsibility.
In fact people of India need an emancipation from such a corrupt and rotten political system.Hope that political parties will realise  that it is high time and decide to work for the nation building  rather than being  a commodity  for sale in the political mandi. If is very difficult to  digest that people's representatives will change their political ideology  and will change the party for a briefcase .
The biggest question is that why do we select and  elect  such people as people  representatives who don't have any moral and ethical standards. In fact political  pollution  has started in 1952 during the First General Election when nearly 57%MP were from Landlords,Aristocratic and Capitalist backgrounds  and those who fought for the national freedom were ignored.It was the biggest mistake that tge Congress Party has made purposefully .
The political degeneration continued  during 1960's and 1970's with both capturing and introduction of criminals in election process  but by the end of 1977 there was some hope due to emergence of Jay Prakash Narayan and formation of Janata Party.Unfortunately this experiment failed because  our political  representatives till then were so corrupt that they failed to live upto the expectations of the people.
After that re emergence of Indira Gandhi and her political experiments the political vaues have further  in India.There was a fresh lease of air in the form of Rajiv Gandhi but he failed to face corrupt political system.
1990 was a period of Political Alliance plotics and several leaders who never imagine  to be a national leader became Prime Minister of India like I.K.Gujral and Deve Gowda.We entered the 21st century with another phase of Alliance which continued for 13 years and then came Modi government .
By now it is clear that politics has traveled 70 years and unfortunately we don't have any big leader who ever thought of making the nation a big power.
