Indian politics has been rotting. Now that the stench is spread all over the world it is time for the dormant middle class to wake up and act. The tycoons of religions, governments and businesses are hand in glove in their move to loot this nation. They are diplomatic in their talk, cunning in their moves and absolutely shameless when caught. They will go on looting until the middle class stand up and oppose them.
The middle class are the actual working class. They labor and toil, pay taxes from their salaries, tighten their pants and watch the prices of essential stuff soar, commute up and down swallowing the emissions of the affluent, fall sick and die and untimely death leaving their families in utter misery. The middle class go through endless sufferings-at the work place, the market, the banks, government departments, hospitals, at their children’s schools, and where not? They should have their PAN, TAN and DIN and bow before the IT dept. while the rich and the powerful get away with their false statements. The media has more than once revealed that most of the politicians, who are worth several crores as per their own declarations, do not pay their taxes. Will the IT dept. have enough guts to send notices to all these tax cheaters? Every time a politician is caught in a scam he levels an allegation against the opposition, thus trying to vindicate his action. Where in the world we have a moral system except in India where one thief is justified by exposing another thief?
Until the middle class of this country comes out on the street against to show that our conscience is not dead yet, our country will suffer under the hands of these thieves. We should fight for a legislation that would keep criminal elements from politics permanently. Once a politician is caught in a scam or case of corruption he/she should never be allowed to contest in elections to any public office. This should be demanded and fought for as the right of every voter. Unless we do this we will perish as hapless citizens of an ancient awakened civilization.
Wake up India, wake up!
