INDIAN POLITY AND THE HAPLESS CITIZENRY

After the latest expose of siphoning off huge amounts of tax payer's money during the waiver of loans to the farmers one is convinced about the fact that the Indian polity is only meant for making money for themselves, their cronies, near and dear ones and political supporters in the name of economic empowerment of masses. They seem to sing in unison that we are there to loot the country and we have been empowered by your stupidity of voting us to power. This seems to be the governing  motto of all politicians of this country be it from the centre, state, municipality or a village panchayat and perhaps the only method of ensuring votes in an election. These guys are extraordinarily intelligent people but with ulterior motives and perhaps with doubtful integrity.  They may or may not put money into their own pockets but for the sake of securing win-ability in an election they will create opportunities for their cronies to amass major proportions of funds designated for any beneficial measure for the poor, industry or the health of country's economy.
During the last two years, India excelled others only in scams, scams relating to the shameless loot in mineral resources allocation, The 2 G spectrum allocation, the grabbing of government and community lands, misappropriation of colossus funds allocated for Commonwealth games, free power disbursements to poor and needy farmers, loan waivers to farmers, recruitments to various posts, NREGA payments etc. etc... In fact one is left with no option but to believe that the combine of legislature and executive will do nothing unless and until major share accrues to them or their touts and cronies.
The situation is all the more ironical when the powerful and mighty of the land even refuse to take cognizance of the malaise and the accompanying rot that has set in the Indian system courtesy these guys.We have heard of the presence of certain tax heavens and black money heavens but the Indian polity can rightfully take pride in being the first one to promote its country as a corruption heaven with a unwritten guarantee that no steps will be taken to mitigate corruption and unearth the fruits of corruption provided you give them support for gaining power and retaining it. The country is sick and tired of hearing that for every aspect of governance, checking corruption, penalising the offenders, recovery of corruption and black money, punishing rapists and murderers, new laws are needed and these are not forthcoming for reasons known to them collectively. In any case it is extremely difficult to believe that the honest, upright and sincere guys of yester years who were responsible for giving the laws and procedures for running this country were not upto the mark.
