politics

It seems that the country is full of stupid people who have all the power. Today, everywhere there's only one name: Shashi Tharoor. The most annoying part is that i can't understand what the big deal is.

Apparently, his girlfriend has some stake in an ipl team whose payment for which is virtually non-existent. So, what the bloody hell has it got to do with him ?? And as always the party people just can't keep sitting on their asses. Everyone wants tharoor's resignation. I mean can't you concentrate on your job (running the country). Instead everybody wants to make the other party look bad. Its not as if he's doing your daughter, or is he ? He must have great stamina to do daughters of about 800 people.

So, we have only one name floating around everywhere on the tv on the newspaper and well thats all but that is everywhere. The only person who seems to have a brain in the whole parliament is being made to pay for it. Yeah i know about his previous twitter controversies and even then i felt that these people are making mountains out of mole hills. A person has the right to free speech, thats what he was trying to do. If a minister of state can't exercise that right, we've got no reasons to wonder why we can't express it ourselves. Everyone exercises it. Look at Prince Edward (king or whatever his name is). Nobody asked him to resign when he asked a woman if she worked at a strip club. Frankly, the two incidents are of roughly the same proportion.

The problem with this country is not us the citizens but it is the members of the parliament. Yeah, i've heard all the bullshit about young honest people not entering politics and stuff. But the bottomline is, nobody would want to enter the arena after watching these dimwits fight it out over a non-issue. I won't. Everybody likes his/her own comfort, when you don't feel the comfort you fight for it. Unfortunately for the country, everybody has that comfort.

Now, we are seeing debates based not on wrong or right but based on party lines. The parties are not even supporting a cause on the basis of right or wrong, they are supporting or not supporting on how a legislation would affect there chances in the next elections.

Let me give an example, the women's reservation bill. Let me tell you i'm against all this reservation shit myself. I mean its a form of legalised discrimination, much like apartheid. But the least illogical reservation i see is that for women. And i believe it should be 50% instead of 33%. Why ?? Because women are the only group of humans who have been discriminated against throughout the history of mankind, started when there was no use of brains no one cared about physically weak people which included women. And these politicians don't want the bill passed because it doesn't provide reservation for women from weaker sections of society. All i can say is Morons, you would have had a point if reservations had succeeded in making the weaker sections stronger. After all, over the last 62 years we haven't moved on at all in terms of the difference in the living conditions. What i mean is that even though the living conditions have improved for everybody, they have improved equally. Maybe not even equally, improved more for the better off. It wasn't supposed to be this way was it ?? The weaker sections were supposed to be equal in all respects to everyone. But the line is still as thick as it was. What's even worse is that this reservations are growing a slight anger within the masses , the "stronger" masses. Well, they have every right to be angry. The effect of quotas is evident everywhere. Incompetent people are getting jobs or places in universities etc while the competent are unemployed. Whats worse is the places left empty aren't given to the competent, the incompetent are trained. Then Mr. Kapil Sibal says, the government doesn't have enough money to educate the masses.

The dimwits in the parliament just don't get it that you can't have people studying straight away in college or jobs, they need to study in schools first. If you reserve seats for them i wouldn't be mad at you and the country won't be mad at you.

What i wanted to say is that the people in power just don't understand their priorities(and they are always asking us youth to understand ours). Their goal is misguided. They work for the party not for the country. Thats the primary reason why this country is heading nowhere. This is the reason that we may never catch up with the united states of america or any other developed nation. Since the mp's work for the party, their actions represent party gain and not the national gain.

Bottomline: something needs to be changed. I can't tell you what or how thats for the great minds to think, i can't come with a solution, albeit i am trying. You should try too. Maybe if everyone tries we can come up with a solution. We are in this together and thats how we will get through it.
