Poli’tricks’ ,I PL and Us

No, I didn’t spell it wrong it is poli’tricks’ not politics. The politics and democracy of 'swaraj' India is not what we are having today. It is the poli’tricks’- the tricks and tantrums of a bunch of shameless greedy herd. I will say today’s Indian politics is like an IPL match, a bunch of new age businessmen piling up money by fooling and entertaining the mass and making them asses by manipulating their love for the country or community. And we, the common man is sitting in the stadium worrying about the game going on and cheering them up without realizing the fact that end of game is already planned and whether the team win or loose the actual lose is ours.

Now we are at the door of an exciting new season of games-the parliament elections. And all the teams already started their practice sessions and advertisements through media. Recently we witnessed a series of parades held by different teams. When one called it “nava Kerala yathra” another one named it as “Kerala mochana yathra”. Then there was fierce debates on various media channels analyzing the past- victories, performances, strengths, and weakness, biting off each others head, to get a piece of lime light and finally to spice up the things there were catfights and drama in the house, and on the stage. Like a reality show it is telecasted everyday in episodes like the one in “Big Brother”.

So what u think, do we have to watch this game of politricks when it brings us no good and only bad things? And when all the players are the same and they change only in the name and logo? Are we casting our valuable votes for this shameful drama they present?

Is there any end for this? Can we make a change?.......the questions arise are endless …….what answer’s you have let me know . I have some solutions too ,may be in next post…….

  3. I do agree with the facts stated above in your post.

    But my question is for how long we will remain on the Gallery and applaud/condemn these tricks. How long we will be complaining of these tricks. Ther should be an end to all these.

    Even if we are reluctant to enter the repugnant space of dirty politics, we could change the trend. The trend set by our predecessors to follow these acts of shameless appeasement.

    Not voting is never a good option, in a democracy, as it serves no purpose. We should take our votes as the weapon against those who are not listening to the public.

    Then comes the question of whom to vote as the choice available are limited to those who are field by the party/politicians. There are some debate on giving the voters negative voting power(section 49-O), but still needs to be taken seriously by authorities.

    So I would recommend, atleast for this time, to be fully aware of your available choice of candidates/party, the stand taken by them on various public issues etc., and take the right decision by selecting the less harmful.

    Further, we should contribute to the change of trend in whatever way we could, by actively involving ourselves in public matters, such as making an effort to know the prevaiing situation, carve out an opininon of your own in all possible matters,etc.
