Often "good" people stay out of politics - reason, politics is a dirty game, politicians are all dirty criminals etc. etc. This reminds me of Gandhi: "Be the change you want to see in people". Do we care to be the change we associate with politicians? In a democracy, politicians are the people who rule us and determine the future of the country we inhabit. The best part of democracy is we are the ones who are given lot of power to choose the people who we want to rule us. But unfortunately, most of the educated mass stay out of voting in the pretext of "Politics is a dirty game" or "all are corrupt whom to choose". Sure enough, we feel the present day ruling and opposition parties are bed mates, and they join hands with media to fool us "public", so what can be done? Is there no hope for a country like India? Here are my thoughts on launching a political outfit looking at the roaring success of wikileaks. It leaves no doubt in me that information and internet together will be able to change the world in the coming days if used correctly with of course public participation and awareness.
Lets launch a political party called as "Democratic Party Of India" which is truly democratic in all respects.
Do You believe?
Its enough in the hands of present day politicians, we need something new and different? That change is possible in India? Do you freak out with the sad state of affairs and random corruptions? Do you think we together can bring about a change? Do you have that passion, patriotism that can put country's well being before anything else? Clean people in politics is not a myth? Election can be contested without money laundering? Transparency in election and governance is possible? King makers are not required? People can directly choose who to be the prime minister?
