Indian Parliamentary System
60 years of Indian parliamentary system. What do I make of it? A simple thing: more and more people in India reading Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. More and more people liking the civil society activists. More and more people all over the world angered by the Indian economic policies and procedures. More and more people in India are talking about the Arab Spring. More and more people... The list goes on and on...and people are not happy with the way things are neither at the Center nor at the state (federal) levels. What do people think of politicians? Dirty, corrupt pigs. What do people think of government officials ('babus')? Lazy, corrupt pigs. Is this correct? It doesn't matter. What people think about you is who you are to the rest of the world! And there has to be a grain of truth if most people think of you the way they do. How has this come to pass? We are a country who have had expert statesmen like Sardar Patel, Rajagopalachari and Vajpayee...all politicians...
