India Crying for Honesty of purpose and Meaningful Policies

Law of the land is supreme and the constitutional bodies are independent, powerful and supreme.

Two recent happenings speak volumes about this myth. For anything and every thing is possible when the all powerful government and its ministers are involved and it is a different story all together. Firstly the helplessness of election commission vis a vis the law minister wherein maintainability of even the so sacred Election Code of Conduct comes under cloud simply because the legal luminaries of the government are doing what they are good at i.e. find faults/ loopholes in the legal provisions with utter disdain for moral ethics/ values which alone can be a foundation of honest and meaningful policies. That too only for vote catching rhetoric and in actual not doing anything concrete that will make a meaningful difference to the lot of poor and oppressed Indians over the years to come. A reservation of 9% for minorities out of OBC quota may be 3000 jobs  in a year with 95% or more in group C & D for a population of 230 million and through this looking to fool 100 million voters is certainly a very clever and dishonest agenda for the so called betterment of poor masses of our Muslim brothers. The creamy jobs will as it is go to better placed executive/political class henchmen for the same reason for which upper classes of society have an advantage. Nobody is grudging these reservations but let us not allow the politicians to make merry and continue enjoying power, perks and a hi-fi status at the cost of giving small pittance of doles to poor millions and favouring their own cronies, stooges, henchmen and near and dear ones with their lopsided policies, corruption  and corruption yielding practices and doing nothing worthwhile to fight this menace which is denying us our rightful due.
The second ironic case is about the age of Army Chief. Strangely he has been allowed to have two dates of birth legally, one for service record and second for other national records like passport, educational certificates etc. etc. This is a plain and simple case of compromises and manipulations at all levels all along the individuals career and pushing  the dirt under the carpet now to end the logjam. Imagine Great India where the Identity card of a service officer also could not have correct information for more than three decades. There has got to be a time in nation's history when all skeletons in cupboards have to be dealt with strictly without prejudice to the level of individuals concerned and consequences thereof. Imagine if the age in UPSC records were two years less than educational records of the general what would have been  the national stance then.
