India Verdict 09, and the return of family Praise atmosphere !

Finally , its official after a gap of 25 yrs or so , the congress is gaining its lost ground in strategic states like U.P and west Bengal , praises and showers on individuals are a natural extension of rejoicing , but there is a harsh reality and a bitter truth that an average indian electorate must understand , that our democracy still carries a heavy burden of producing political leaders who merely rely and expect a blessing hand for their political fortunes by praising individuals , single families (Gandhi family ) , conducting praise melas across the states through Pradesh congress committes (PCCs) and ofcourse their discourses always start and end with family praises , rather than their own individual contributions and efforts for developing states and their individual constituencies. it is a well know fact that the indian democracy rose to fight this physche through formation of political parties and coalition governments that guranteed a culture of reality based with revolutionary programs that had a far reaching impact on our society be it the formation of Minority government led by V.P singh that bought Mandal before the national scene or the emergence of Parties that had a primarily backward caste led orientation like the Janta dal or samaj wadi party and needless to say the complete white wash of Andhra politics by the Advent of Telugu desam in 1983.

Power transfers and verdicts or Mandates are a sign of healthy democracy , but at one end it is also giving space to crooks , goons and Mafia based groups (and individuals ) who find a safe ground by becoming a part of a larger organization to meet their personal goals whose main job revolves around "conducting family praise melas" and not talk about innovative programs or ways to develop their own communities . the ultimate victim in this scenario is an avergae indian electorate who sees national building through the prism of Propaganda, praises on family led parties by local leaders rather than the leadership qualities of their own representatives, in a country characterised by huge social divide its easy for any one to be carried away by this mass hysteria of keeping the legacy of family led politics alive in the minds of people.

In a way our democracy offers both parts of the world , the worst and the best , the former seems to be taking its lost ground after a long time . congratulations congressmen ! you bought our old memories alive ...!
