The Political scene in our country consists mostly of leaders who do their utmostto get into government.A person aspiring for a career in politics can join one of the various parties or can contest as an independent candidate.There is a good salary and a pension and the other benefits continue even after demitting office.The laws should be made to allow a person only two continuous terms in any elected officeA third continuous term should not be allowed.After the gap,a fresh two continuous terms should be allowed.These things come to mind after looking at the harmful consequences that willbe effected on the country by an opposition that is desperate to get into power.
The janata party government would have continued were it not for the inability of advani,vajpayee and others of the jana sangh to relinquish their membershipof the rss.If these people had considered the nation to be bigger than their membership of the rss,a better two party system would have evolved over time.These same people are now pretending to be supreme nationalists.When the need was the most,they could not set aside their membership of the rss for the larger national cause.The lok satta party started by dr jayaprakash narayan has emerged as a pioneeron the way to begin and run a political party.
Advani and vajpayee were bested in their game of political mobilisationby vp singh in the late nineties,through the implementation of long needed reservations.The only thing that was not going for the bjp was its plan of creating a hindu bloc of votes.The requirement for reservation was genuine and it was a move in the right direction towards making the hindu religion egalitarian.If the bjp had really wanted hindu unity,it would have applauded vp singh for implementing the mandal commission report and a grand coalition would have been developed.It would have tried to convince its upper class backers that the time for sharing the pie and shedding the charade of superiority had come.That would have been their passport to greatness.That could have been possible if they genuinely supported the recommendations of the mandal commisssion.But the Advanis,vajpayees and the rss had other things in mind.The opportunity to develop an alternative to the congress was again lost due tothe secret ambitions and motives of the bharatiya janata party,or atleast the urge to rule the country singlehandedly.
It was only in the late nineties,the third time around,that the people from the rss realised that they had to let go of their fantasies to get to continue and finish a term in office.
A person aspiring to get into politics,when faced with a heavyweight from the congress has always had atleast one or two parties to choose from.The people that select the bjp are mostly those that have felt a need to continue the status quo of caste and religion.A person with progressive ideas and an open mind will find the indian national congress to be the ideal party.The openness and the freshness in the congress cannot be matched by any other party.There is no baggage of ideology which acts as an albatross.There is no hidden agenda which has the capacity to reduce the membersinto a jarring shrillness.
The only problem that could arise in this scenario is the lack of space for newer candidates in each constituency.The BJP in its quest to be in power has developed into a party which cannot take a long term view of the effects of its sophistry.It is amazing that this party has started pretending that it is the best choice for the nation when in the past it has been unable to make the necessary compromises in the nations best interests.The party does not realise the need to develop harmony in society,all it can think about is power and the shortest way to achieving it.

lok sabha tv had a refreshing programme where dr jayaprakash narayan was interviewed by suresh prabhu.
the lok satta party is what all the youth who are not satisfied with the congress need to consider.
dr narayan spoke about the limitations of politics and about the need to bring decency into politics.
that is what the country needs badly,a relief from the bjps politics of focussing on individuals and an addiction to raking up petty conspiracies.
dr narayan said that his party has a membership of half a million.
that is what honesty and decency can and will achieve.
there are various achievements of the loksatta organisation ever since it came into the public domain as a whiff of hope to the cynical indian.

The fanatic upper caste and the fanatic muslim
A section of the brahmin community and the so called upper castes is feeling uprooted and is at pains to depict the political process as being dominated by people with ulterior motives.These sections have a phobia of muslims and have been trying to spread this phobia around to the rest of the population.This is casteist behaviour at its worst.
Every positive and forward move is labelled as being vote bank politics.The targets are the champions of social justice.The vast majority of the people who come under the hindu label have no phobia of the muslims and are well organised into subgroups or clans which have been given the caste nomenclature.Various groups of people existed in different areas and had group names consistent with their activities and environments.The atrocious attempt to introduce a hierarchy and a superiority stems from the brahmin texts.
The brahmin rituals are mumbo jumbo to the vast majority of the people who come under the hindu label.A third religion other than saivism and vaishnavism called brahminism might be said to exist although vaishnavism has much in common with brahminism.
saivism is the original religion which was later subsumed by brahminism.Saivism broke out of these attempts to introduce ritual and mumbo jumbo.The attempts still continue to shroud saivism with the unintelligible mantras and the fantastic stories.saivism has constantly taken itself to the people where it originated and where it belongs.
The last stand of these sections has been the attempt to reduce the vast majority of the people who come under the hindu label to insecurity and inferiority.The brahmins do not relate to the fight of the people at every point in history against injustice and tyranny.The people have fought whenever unjust taxes were sought to be levied by the muslim rulers or the british.The hindus and the muslims have fought together against the british;the british in most cases had the support of one or the other hindu ruler.
The attempt of these sections of the brahmins to vitiate every development in the country poses the biggest danger alongwith the fanaticism of a section of the muslims.Both of these groups are removed from the people and place all reliance on the religious texts.Both of these groups do not have a grounding and are hopelessly labouring undera false supremacy.Both of these groups are longing for an imaginary grandeur of the past forgetting that the people are the real rulers and the real movers.

subramaniam swamy
this song is dedicated to the deperate subramaniam swamy and his cohorts and co travellers.
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/eagles/desperado_20044565.html
every effort is made by these educated folk to twist reality and implement a system which borrowed from antiquity and then resorted to fantastic numbers like 84,00,000 to turn everything upon its head.
the desperation of these actions stems from a reluctance to understand the real nature of religion,which does not confer a special status on anyone.
the desperado that is subramaniam swamy is now trying his best to sabotage the sethu project.
Through such actions in these days of democracy,one gets a hint of the extent to which these forces stooped to achieve a false supremacy.
These very forces strove to defeat reservation at every juncture.
The latter religions are unable to exist at peace with the older ones.
The aryan religions have systematically poached upon the dravidian religion and have tried to proclaim a false superiority .
Christianity had to vanquish the pagan religions.
Islam is at odds with christianity.
If one develops a genuine new way of union and appreciation of god,the last thing on ones mind will be an intention to prove that the older way is false or wrong.
It is only when these newer ways start to aggressively market their newer methods does friction develop.
the aryan religions have been at it for millennia upto the present sethusamudhram canal disruptions.

IPL
vijay mallya cries in public and the actors and actresses feel that they have to arouse interest by their presence and antics.
vijay mallya should realise that losing every single match is also a possibility in sport and there are ways to address it in a professional manner.
shahrukh and preity deem it necessary to be out gesticulating whenever there is a turnaround in the match.
sport is bigger than these personalities who are probably new to it though mallya has had some connection with racing in his younger days.

Liar Liar
LK Advani is the worst role model that any aspiring politician can have.
The kindest explanation of his behaviour can be that he has never recovered from his formative experiences during the partition.
Even that stand will not stand for long if one looks at his actions thoroughly.

kalaignar
kalaignar has made two statesmanly interventions in the last month.
he took the wind out of the sails of the yeddyurappas in the hogenakkal issue leaving commentators like cho joining the predictable chorus of kalaignar having betrayed the tamils.
the most crucial wise words from kalaignar were about the infighting in the eelam ranks.
it was something which was needed for a long time,a call to the eelam tamil organisations to
start acting differently.
the grip of violence on the mind leaves no space for a middle and balanced approach.
the votaries of subhash chandra bose and bhagat singh commit the grave mistake of diminishing the superhuman achievement of mahatma gandhi.
bose and bhagat singh were supreme heroes who continue to inspire the youth.
the wall that was demolished in usilampatti could not have been allowed to exist.
that would have meant a negation of all of the achievements of the last 100 years.
the vaishnavites who introduced the four grades concept into the dravidian land and the brahmins who act as the torchbearers of vaishnavite thinking find it easy to portray these episodes as the oppression of the caste hindus.
"it is not we that are fighting them".
the problems arise from two communities coexisting from long,but the equations getting equal of late.
