Indian Politics, a mockery on its face!!!

The condition of Indian politics is deteriorating everyday, and nobody can think of any way for rescue. Here are just a few examples.

1. Since Aamir Khan spoke against the Gujarat govt., his movie was banned in Gujarart, and it's being attributed to the movie distributors. Why the hell would they like to bear heavy losses for some statements against somebody else. Govt. says it'll try to get the movie released in Guj, but then couldn't get it released; is it actually possible? On the other hand the opposition party members who initially were speaking againg Aamir, soon joined the media to critcise the govt.

2. The movie Da Vinci code which is being shown all over the US and most other countries, where Christianity is the major population, is being banned in seven states in India, because of minority voices. So what effect the major (and really substantial population) could not create anywhere else in the world(or were they more judicious to understand the matter?), was actually created in India by handfull of people.

3. BJP demanding to drop the bill on Office of Profit, after the president returned it back. How can a political party change its stance, which was present at the time of passing the bill in the parliament in the first place.

4. The tragedy of Rahul Mahajan - the party is totally confused how to react it. While some leaders are trying to defend, the official spokesperson states it as simply a family problem, while a few weeks ago the problem of the same family was being termed as national loss. This is called damage control.

5. The role of left parties in the govt. To me it seems they speak more often against the govt policies then the opposition itself. Probably they find this as their moral duty.

6. And above all, the current reservation issue. I won't go into the details except pointing out the fact that, the political parties who could't agree even on the most sensible issues, all happen to have same views on reservation, though they tend to change the wordings to prove their uniqueness. The thing is no party can be bold enough to risk loosing the vote banks.

The derision becomes even more obvious if one goes through any of the interviews where the reporters actually tend to ask some serious questions rather then just getting out some news to print. The answers of these ministers seem to be more dumb then what possibly any one else can ever imagine. Few examples on the IBN show Devil's Advocate are:

Arjun Singh
Nitish Kumar
Kamal Nath

How blatantly they deny any fact. They don't go by the statistics, they don't understand major public opinion, they don't care for the views of the scholars, what they do follow is the politics of vote.

If this is the condition of politics which party would one like to select? Whom can you say is less corrupt, or more socially motivated then others??
