Develop institutions of democracy to rate India as a true democratic country
Hillary Clinton has been fined 80 pounds by
the traffic constable for illegally parking her car in London. This news goads
me to think about how our police behaves in case of an MLA, MP, babu or even a
Mukhia or ward Councilor parks his or her vehicle on the middle of the road.
The traffic police would look in the opposite direction but it would pounce
upon the poor rickshaw puller, auto driver, cyclist or a motor cyclist the
moment they pause even at the way-side. It is rare but if an honest-upright
policeman dares touch an influential offender he is bound to invite trouble for
himself. People say, when the driver of the official car of the first Bihar Chief
Minister Shri Krshna Singh parked the car illegally he had been fined by a
police officer. The Chief Minister was very pleased and had rewarded the
officer. But now this is anachronistic.
This is the difference in the concepts of democracy in the UK and that in our country. Democratic institutions in the UK are developed while ours are half baked.
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose had said India was not ripe for democracy so a benevolent dictatorship was needed to first cleanse the evils from society and politics. But this country adopted a model what is known as Gandhi-Nehru model that proved disastrous for the country. India was divided on religious lines still the problem plagues the nation. Corruption was institutionalized and got recognition and respectability. Constitutional provisions of even fundamental rights were conditioned under qualified specifications of parochial politics.
If we are to usher in a true democracy we shall have to develop our democratic institutions first. I would quote a couplet of Iqbal "जम्हुरिअत एक तर्ज़-ए-हुकुमत है कि जिसमें बंदों को गिना करते हैं तोला नहीं करते"

इस देश की आत्मा मृतप्राय होने को है
कल समाचार-पत्रों में पढ़ा, कांग्रेसी सांसद राजबब्बर रक्षा मामलों की संसदीय सलाहकार समिति की बैठक; जिसमें सेना के आला अफसर ब्रीफ कर रहे थे बीच में अधूरा छोड़ कर फ्लाईट पकड़ने के लिए भाग गया/
देश की वाह्य-आंतरिक सुरक्षा, पाक-चीनी घुसपैठ, आतंकवाद तथा जवानों के बलिदान आज मुल्क के हुक्मरानों के लिए कोई अहमियत नहीं रखते/ अन्यथा कोई नौटंकी बाज़ संसद की सलाहकार समिति जैसे गंभीर संस्था में जगह कैसे पा सकता है/
ऐसा लगता है कि राजनीतिक अपसंस्कृति को समाज की मान्यता मिल गयी है/ जो जितनी बेशर्मी करे वह उतना ही बड़ा नेता,नौकरशाह,उद्योगपति होगा /
इस देश की आत्मा मृतप्राय होने को है/

Pragya Singh Thakur a case of State discrimination
I wrote in my previous blog
entitled "The terrorists in India are more privileged than the
unfortunate lady saint Pragya"
Even after six years the
trial of the fabricated terror-case involving Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur is yet
to start and come to a logical end. Our whole system is plagued by corrupt and
pliable persons. The terrorists in India backed by Pakistan and pampered by
communal "secularists" are being let off. They are even given
compensation.
The denial of bail to the Cancer afflicted Pragya poses a
question whether the judiciary can act at the desire of the home minister who
violates the Article-15 of the Constitution of India by openly advocating that
terrorists from a particular community be granted special treatment.
Shinde and
Chidambram must be hauled up for launching propeganda like saffron terrorism.
Why even not a single so called saffron terrorist has been convicted to this
day? Mulayam, Maya, Vadra can be fortunate to go scot-free for amassing wealth
beyond their legitimate sources of income. Raja and Kalmadi who looted public
fund can get bail but a sick lady saint falsely implicated can not. She has no human rights and the human rights organizations thriving on public fund have no attention to her plight.
