INDIAN MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT - NEW NAWABS IN THE MAKING

As a young boy way, back in 1957 while studying in 7th class, we were told that in Indian democracy there are no Nawabs. The rulers/Members of Parliament were just selfless servants of the people who would be in politics for the sake of serving the nation and its citizenry for a salary of Rs 400 only, the same as the starting salary of a class I bureaucrat of that time. To day after about sixty years, we are back to the old Nawab structure, where MP's have proposed for themselves a basic salary of Rs 100000 with allowances to the tune of Rs 1.8 lakh per month. Add to this other perks that catapult their take home to something like Rs 20 lakhs on an average and in some cases as high as Rs50 lakhs. Incidentally starting basic salary of class I bureaucrats as per the 7th pay commission is Rs 56100. Once the proposals, prepared by the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry, are implemented, wages of MPs will be higher than the government secretary’s salary. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/govt-moves-to-double-mps-salary-to-rs-2-8-lakh-a-month/#sthash.w1BWxFWi.dpuf

In sixty years MP's have managed to hike their own salaries from the level of a sub divisional magistrate to that of a secretary in the central government and now that the concept of a career politician has crept in the Indian polity and since they can themselves make/amend their salaries/allowances/perks in a rather unashamed manner, there is all likely possibility that India is going to have couple of thousands of Nawabs in the next decade or so living on tax payers money without even any basic ethics/code of conduct that is binding on all the bureaucracy of this country.

INDIA IS A TRUE DEMOCRACY

The politicians say India is a true democracy. The students say they do not get jobs. The facts say more than 80% of people coming out of all schools, colleges, universities and institutes are simply unemployable. Intelligentsia and experts from all over the globe are of the opinion that India is wonderfully poised to be a prosperous nation by another decade. But our politicians seem to be hell bent to prove all these pundits wrong through their actions.

We have students of Puducherry university and Film Institute Pune holding protests over the appointments of vice chancellor and President in the true name of democracy. It appears they are at the moment fighting for their democratic right to choose the institutional heads but I won't be surprised if tomorrow they start demanding the right to have examiners of their choice and liking, all with backing from the polity which claims to be the benefactor of the nation.

Indian Parliament has not worked for the last so many days in this monsoon session and the Indian polity is crying itself hoarse that they work in the best interest of the nation and its billion plus citizens perhaps trying to impress upon the hapless voters (who send them to this august house) that they will be better off if Parliament does not work.Today some ministers need to resign for letting the Parliament work. To morrow we might see the condition of the government resignation being put for allowing the Parliament to work.Hats off to the Indian polity, after all India is a true democracy.

WE ARE NETAS AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BARK

THE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN, A NEW ERA HAS BEEN USHERED IN INDIAN POLITICS

During the last five decades all people (who were sincere and honest to the nation and country and not to any boss, chair or party to fulfill their desires through nondubious and noncorrupt means) talked in their drawing rooms that this country can progress to prosperity only when a revolution takes place, a revolution by the silent hapless billion plus people of this land against all efforts of the ruling polity and bureaucracy to fool them, to loot them.

Even today as I write this a big debate is going on on all media channels wherein all the national spokes persons of all the established parties are attributing Aam Aadmi Party's win and Bhartiya Janta Party's loss to the secular credentials of one and Hindutava agenda of the latter. But let us understand that no revolution in the history of mankind has occurred with religious agenda. In fact all revolutions have taken place as a war between haves and havenots because haves have always thrived and made merry on power, authority, corruption and loots..Still they do not want to take cognizance of the fact that that it is the awareness and recognition of the plain and simple reality of today's India described in words below i.e.

Sisters and brothers of India, whether from villages or cities, from any religion, caste or creed,rich or poor, don't be taken in by any of the tricks of politicians, for end of corrupt people  and corruption will be the end of your poverty and miseries.Your poverty is a direct result of  corruption  by  those in authority and power.

which is responsible for such a clean sweep in the latest Delhi elections. In fact it is the dawn of a new era, a watershed mandate in the Indian political history where the power of ballot has rejected the hitherto effective and accepted model of Indian politics wherein the vote banks could be purchased/ goaded/fooled by empowering a few henchmen/goons economically much in the same manner as Muslim rulers would make Nawabs and British rulers would make Rai Sahibs at the expense of common man's rights and dues. The new model mooted by Aam Aadmi Party expects the Indian rulers to work for the betterment of each and every individual rather than for a few favoured and chosen ones.

BARKERS TO THE NATION

BJP spokesperson and those committed to their cause heard on the Indian TV today that debates between leaders of different political parties during the run up to elections cannot and should not be held because Indian democracy is neither
A presidential form of government
           nor
A two party system
These howlers and barkers to the nation during the run up to national elections in 2014 were heard everyday demanding a debate between Mr Modi vs Mr Rahul Gandhi as well as Mr Modi vs Dr Manmohan Singh. Surprisingly these two simple facts were not known to the persons who have been entrusted with the reigns of government of India.
