Never ever has the true meaning of democracy been stretched to such strange elastic proportions, never ever has the spirit of democracy been tested in such turbulent waters of political uncertainity, never ever has the viability of democracy been put to question, never ever has democracy to wash its linen in dirty waters of coalition era, never ever has the democracy been nakedly marketed by the vulgar display of money and traded for personal gratification of favours..........Never ever has democracy been put to such changing parameters of measuring its efficacy.................
The open sale of parliamentarians at an obnoxious price tag of Rs. 25 crores each, beat even the Christie's sale records. More than this the king-size role played or threatened to be played by the owners of 5,3,2 and even a sigle parliamentarian in extorting a best price to barter its support, INDIAN DEMOCRACY HAS witnessed the king-maker' s of such a significance even when there own no. is too insignificant to talk about. The sudden rise in the fortunes of Amar Singh, Soren, Ajit Singh, SurajBhan,Umakant Yadav, Pappu Yadav, Afzal Ansari, Ateeq Ahmed, Md. Shahabuddin ---most of them convicted criminals to trade a better option has highlighted the disturbing trend the coalition politics has opened up. Come to think of the world's largest democracy beegging for one single vote even from the convicted rapists and murderes....or an airport been named by someone's father's name or dropping of cases against a particular clan.... Indian Democracy has come a long way to take a litmus test--all by itself.......
And the million dollar q. is ---DO WE DESERVE TO BE RULED BY THE SECTRUM OF DEMOCRACY so very badly punctured by the egoes and arrogance of the so called Honest members. Who is going to ask them to be present before the privileges committe...??????well wasn't Ronen Sen's HEADLESS CHICKENS phrase an apt reply in their honour.........................
