<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
Elections are a violation of democracy. Our once-in-five-years pilgrimage to the voting booth is a mockery of what democracy should actually mean. Aghast? Hold off for a bit on your judgement that I’m off my rocker, anti-national, or in any case not worth reading further. Hear me out.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
Democracy = demo (people) + cracy (rule). Rule <em>by</em> the people, not by a handful of representatives that people elect. There is a crucial difference. The original meaning stems from ancient Greek practice in which ordinary citizens (other than slaves and women) had a say in assemblies of decision making. This is akin to the notion of <em>swaraj</em> popularised by Mahatma Gandhi (though the concept pre-dates him), which integrates rights and responsibilities, autonomy and interconnectedness, ethics and politics. In modern societies, however, ‘liberal’ democracy hands over power to elected representatives, with very nebulous links between politics and ethics.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
With elections, we violate democracy or swaraj in at least four ways.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
First, in many countries including India, politicians get elected even if they have only 20% of the vote, with the rest of the electorate split amongst several opponents. This means that winners do not even represent the vast majority of people. As the American satirist Ambrose Bierce said in his <em>Devils’ Dictionary</em>, the ‘elector’ is “one who enjoys the sacred privilege of voting for the man of another’s man’s choice”. But even for the fraction of the population that is ‘represented’ by the elected politician, there is no guarantee that their will is his/her command. This is at least partly because they hardly represent even the electorate that votes them in; look at the figures of the background of winning candidates in the 2014 general elections in India. Out of the 542 members analysed, 443 (82%) have assets of Rs 1 crore ($160,000) or more (up from 300 that had such assets in the 2009 Lok Sabha); the average assets per member are Rs 14.7 crore ($2.3 million), up from Rs 5.35 crore ($830,000) in 2009. Do we seriously believe these men and women represent us?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
Most importantly, day-to-day decisions, including crucial ones that impact a large number of people, are predominantly taken by elected politicians and the bureaucracy serving them, with little or no involvement of the electorate. Power remains concentrated in the hands of a few, a complete opposite of the democratic foundation of ‘rule by the people’.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
Second, elections promote the worst form of competitiveness, made increasingly divisive and hostile by the increasing commercial and political stakes of winning. Just as commercialised sport has engendered abysmal distortions like performance-enhancing drugging to enable staying ahead in the cutthroat competition, elections encourage the worst forms of bribery, corruption, intimidation and horse-trading. In a country like India, this competitiveness often plays itself out along historically-entrenched hierarchies and divisions, such as those of caste and of ideology (Right-Left being a universal one). Is it not a mockery of democracy that it takes a machinery of thousands of staff, police (sometimes the army) and volunteers to ensure that elections are peaceful, ‘free and fair’?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
Third, if elections are about democracy, they should be an occasion to discuss serious issues like poverty, deprivation, inequalities, casteism, ecological devastation, women’s exploitation, land grabbing, farmer suicides, unemployment amongst the youth, declining public investments in education and health, citizens’ rights and so on. Instead, candidates go after each other like fowl in a cockfight, and there is little genuine, in-depth dialogue or discussion on issues. The 24×7, high-decibel media promotes this. When is the last time you heard a decent multi-party discussion on, for instance, what constitutes development and why it is that India’s rank on issues like hunger and malnutrition remains amongst the lowest? If deeper knowledge and dialogue are crucial pillars of democracy, elections routinely discourage them.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
Finally, elections are based on the belief that the most important criterion of being rightfully in power and having the justification of ruling over others, is simple numbers. The majority, or whoever has the maximum votes, wins. Minorities and all those with fewer votes lose. These minorities have talents, knowledge, skills and abilities to aid in decision-making and governance; and they may have special needs that the majority should not overlook. The makers of India’s constitution did recognise some of the dangers of majoritarianism and built in some safeguards such as reservations, but its ugly head regularly rears itself, as is currently happening with the politics of the cow. Electoral politics provides it with powerful backing.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
While I have mostly spoken about India here, the trend is global. Electoral fortunes of parties have varied over time in most countries, with electorates swinging between Right, Left and various formulations in the middle. Everywhere, though, one sees the four faults listed above, the spectacle of the recent American elections being only one of the more visible examples.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
<strong>Finding a more representative model</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
What, then, is the alternative? Perhaps we can take a cue from villages in the Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra who say “our government in Mumbai and Delhi, but <em>we are </em>the government in our village”. Or citizens in Pune, Bengaluru and elsewhere who are asserting that they should be part of deciding the budgets and plans for these cities. Or from the Dongria Kondh Adivasis of the Niyamgiri hills of Odisha, who in unanimously rejecting mining proposals in their area have asserted that they would be the ones to decide on what constitutes ‘development’ affecting them. These and other examples point to a form of direct or radical democracy that is really about swaraj, in the sense of enlightened self-rule. Instances are found across the world, from large-scale ones like the Zapatista in Mexico to smaller ones like many indigenous peoples in all the continents. None are perfect but do provide far greater levels of participation in decision-making to ‘ordinary’ people than do electoral democracies.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
The 73rd and 74th amendments to the constitution of India were supposed to provide a foundation for such direct democracy, but their potential was severely limited (deliberately, I would wager) by the government retaining predominant financial and lawmaking and enforcement powers. They were also constrained by the continuation of the same political and administrative boundaries as earlier, powered by electoral politics. Even village-level politics has remained subject to elections, with <em>panchayats</em> as elected bodies being more powerful than the <em>gram sabhas</em>, where all adults can represent themselves. Adivasi areas are on paper different, as the Panchayat (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act gives the gram sabha predominant decision-making powers, but in practice, this is routinely undermined by panchayat politics and government functionaries. The Adivasis of several villages in Gadchiroli have been able to overcome this by sheer people’s power, and also by asserting that decisions will be taken by consensus or other methods that do not involve a majority-minority voting process.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
Of course, such direct democracy can also be repressive and exploitative; and in any case cannot work at larger scales with too many people than can come together face to face. So there is indeed a need for delegated or representative institutions at a larger level, and for checks and balances against caste, gender and other repressions that come from a larger social consensus on basic human rights and justice. But even larger scale institutions can be based on principles and processes that do not reproduce the pitfalls of elections, for instance through measures such as the right to participate, the right to recall, nomination of delegates rather than divisive elections, their frequent rotation to discourage amassing of power and wealth, transparency of finances and decisions. Peoples’ movements have brought in serious reforms in our democratic systems, such as the right to information. But we need a basic right to participate and decentralisation of financial and law-making powers. Elections of some kind may still figure in this complex of measures (an example of such a complex, multi-layered system could be Switzerland), but are not so central, and with serious reforms.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
Finally, turning the gaze back upon ourselves, we as citizens need to accept part of the blame for the mess our democracy is in. We have been duped long enough by the illusion of elections as democracy, when will we take things into our hands as have the Adivasis of Gadchiroli? Direct democracy is hard, it needs time, capacity, effort, it is nowhere as convenient as going to the polling booth once in five years, and it means that we take both credit and blame for the impacts of decisions taken. Until we are ready for it, we will continue indulging in the escapism of elections.</div>

My family had made plans to visit Kashmir on a vacation this
summer. Since I prefer charting out my own exploratory solo journeys rather
than going on organized tours, I wasn’t sure whether I would be joining them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks to a chance encounter with the father
of one of my Kashmiri students at a Krishnamurti School, who very
enthusiastically invited me to visit his place that I decided to go. The pride
with which he spoke about Kashmir got me convinced to take up his
invitation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once in Kashmir, I realized
that it isn’t just he who holds such immense pride about this region, but it
was true for every person I met here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everyone was equally welcoming in extending their warm hospitality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the first things I was impressed to
observe about the culture in Kashmir was the ease and comfort with which men
expressed their affection and brotherhood towards each other through hugs and
touch.<o:p></o:p></div>

What was meant to be purely a fun vacation trip packed with
visits to common places of tourist attraction in Kashmir, ended up b<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>eing so much more than that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Over the course of 2 weeks that I spent in the Kashmir Valley, I got the
opportunity to not only unwind and enjoy myself with my family as a tourist,
but also to meet hundreds of local people in different towns and villages, stay
with local families in different households, visit schools and dialogue with
the young, visit and pray at various mosques, Muslim shrines, read up about
Islam, the history and current affairs about the region and many such off-beat
engagements which I had not earlier anticipated on this trip. <o:p></o:p></div>

My time in Kashmir left me filled with many mixed emotions,
thoughts and questions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had discovered
a stunningly beautiful landscape and a rich culture which I was completely
ignorant towards until I actually came here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Coming to Kashmir, one cannot escape being drawn into burning issues of
this region. I have to admit that my only little understanding about Kashmir
had come through news as reported in mainstream media—usually around militancy,
terror and political unrest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Growing up,
it was easy to look at the map of India and regard it ‘one whole nation’ and
assume it to be so with great pride.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
moment we set foot in Kashmir however, my assumptions began to be challenged
and perspectives started to shift.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was the unsettling self-realization that reality is far more complex and
dynamic than what one sees, reads or hears from a distance.<o:p></o:p><br />

I spent time with people living together in a tight-knit
community with a spirit of kinship very proud of their unique cultural
heritage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At a Kashmiri wedding
procession I saw young women dancing on street with utmost joy even as there
were fresh incidents of riots and violence all over the Kashmir Valley that
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A young man told me how Kashmir
region has been invaded time and again over centuries and yet their hardiness,
resiliency and humbleness have kept them going through tough times such as the
ones they find themselves currently caught up in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Across the Valley, a deep sense of fear,
distrust, sadness, frustration, helplessness and even anger towards the way in
which successive governments and political leadership have let down the people
of Kashmir was very much palpable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many
individuals I met had poignant stories of loss of loved ones to militancy /
army related conflicts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The youth here
were particularly restless and yearning for better opportunities and a
different socio-economic-political narrative in their lives—many openly
demanding separate nationhood --‘Azadi’ or ‘Free Kashmir’ while many asking for
greater political autonomy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One could
see wall-graffiti with many such slogans painted in various towns across
Kashmir Valley (more provocative and offensive graffiti expressions were also
noticeable in some places).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somehow,
despite the best of intentions perhaps, it seemed that India has not succeeded
in making the people of Kashmir feel truly integrated and belong to the larger idea
of Indian nation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Heavy and often intrusive
military presence and divisive politics here is being resented by most people
of Kashmir who are finding themselves rather oppressed than being heard. Public
protests have been violently crushed with the enforcement of long periods of
curfew in recent past—severely affecting day-to-day lives of ordinary
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Schools and Colleges were shut
for several months during 2016 when the curfew was administered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a new discovery to me that Jammu
& Kashmir State has its own state flag along with the flag of India, the
state has its own constitution and had a prime minister of its own until the
year 1965.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I read up about the Article
370 of the Indian constitution which grants special status and a degree of autonomy
to this region and how over decades it has played out leaving the people in the
Valley feeling betrayed. <o:p></o:p></div>

On the other hand however, there was much appreciation,
warmth and admiration for the common people of India—Bollywood, cricket, trade
and business, tourism and higher studies related travel to different parts of
India has played a big role in keeping the ties intact I believe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite the conflict related wounds and
disappointments about their unfulfilled potential, I experienced that most the
people I met in the Kashmir Valley have largely retained their innate goodness
and have not yet developed bitterness towards the ordinary people of India or
among each other. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some attributed this
to the lingering influence of Sufi/spiritual tradition in the Valley and call
it the ‘land of rishis’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We visited some
of the very old Hindu temples and a Gurudwara, which were still highly well
regarded. Many spoke of how different religious communities have harmoniously
co-existed in the region until recent decades when the winds of communalism
started to blow over this land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Blessed with awe-inspiring Himalayan mountains and
incredible natural beauty, forests, water resources, fruit trees and fertile
lands, the people here have traditionally been largely content and
self-reliant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most households still continue
to have their own organic kitchen gardens and fruit trees (a big savior during
the times of curfew they said!) Horticulture and tourism have been considered
the backbones of the economy, although tourism has greatly suffered over past
couple of decades due to continuing unrest in the Valley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Traveling through Kashmir one gets the sense
that the region has not been able to fully reap the benefits of economic
liberalization and globalization to the extent the rest of the country has been
able to do so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many places give one the
feeling as if they have been‘frozen in time’. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From a mountaintop the lake city of Srinagar
offers a beautiful panoramic view of horizontally spread-out human habitation—buildings
with traditional architecture not going above 2 or 3 stories—as if it were one
large village.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was told that movie theaters
in all major towns had to be shut down due to the rise of insurgency and security
threats. I did not come across any big shopping malls either. By coming to
Kashmir, I was happy to have escaped the modern urban sprawl, the noise,
traffic and pollution and yet I wondered if the young Kashmiris watching the
story of growth and modernization taking place in the rest of India may be
feeling left out? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Due to the paucity of
private sector jobs and corporate opportunities, young college graduates seek
security in opting for government sector even as many of them may personally
find themselves in conflict with the government establishment in Kashmir.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some expressed the desire to move someplace
else in an attempt to escape the political uncertainty and turmoil that
threatens their growth and potential here. <o:p></o:p><br />

Newly released videos about military atrocities as well as
civilian rebellion against military had started to spread like wildfire while I
was traveling in Kashmir—forcing the government to block internet for longer
periods of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Walking through old
parts of Srinagar one of the afternoons, we happened to witness heavy
stone-pelting and a tense clash between army and the local youth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We quickly rushed into a local shop trying to
seek shelter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kind gentleman in the
shop tried to soothe the shock and anxiety which we were experiencing—“Please
don’t worry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They won’t harm a
tourist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are common happenings
here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are sick and tired of it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s talk about something else. How I can
serve you?”</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
It became evident from spending time in Kashmir that mere
systemic/administrative/legal/political changes, fear inducing strategies,
forceful occupation or suppression (as many have come to feel about it) and not
even any allure of ‘development and progress’ can truly win the hearts of the
people who seem to have lost their faith in the government here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only 7% voter turnout in a recently held Lok
Sabha seat by-poll election which later dropped to mere 2% re-polling was
telling of this <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/srinagar-by-election-only-2-02-voter-turnout-recorded-after-repolling-in-kashmir/story-3lCTvA4P1sYB4eXo4EeRjM.html">fact</a>.
If I had the opportunity, it would have been interesting to hear the
perspectives of military and state officials on these issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Few of the army jawans that we got to talk to
definitely seemed to live under a lot of fear and stress themselves. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What must it be like for them I wondered—being
at the receiving end of mounting public resentment and having to stay vigilent
in tough uncertainty so far away from their own homes, with no real sense of
connection or belonging to the local culture or community where they are
stationed.<o:p></o:p></div>

Introspection and reflection on India’s own struggle for
freedom from the British Raj may offer many lessons and confidence in India’s
ability to remain a light of peace and non-violence in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ultimately, whose interest does violence and
conflict serve and how long can power and force mute the voices and
aspirations of the masses?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a human
civilization, isn’t it high time that we grow up and out of our narrow ideas of
separateness and conflicts based on religious or regional divisions? What have
we learnt from the history of wars and colonial imperialism? Connecting up with
some of the journalists, activists, former politicians, community leaders and
peace-workers in the Valley offered me hope and glimpse of a different
possibility despite the cynicism that is easy to fall prey to under such
circumstances. <o:p></o:p></div>

At a seminar on peace held at Initiatives of Change
(Panchgani), the speaker, who had closely worked with Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. during civil rights movement in the USA, had said something very insightful
which has remained with me over these years and finds particular relevance as I
ponder over Kashmir: “Association without understanding breeds conflict”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another quote by the commencement speaker at
Naropa University--Parker Palmer had made a particular impression on me when he
observed that “Violence is what happens when we do not know what to do with our
suffering”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reflecting on these
thoughts, I feel that the healing of wounds in Kashmir requires more than just
knee-jerk reactions, quick-fix solutions and tightening of a forceful grip over
a region.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It calls for going to the root
of the issues and being able to listen to each other and rise beyond apparent
divides. A couple of weeks of my attempts of connecting with ordinary people
here opened my heart and mind towards their daily struggles, hopes, dreams,
uniquely rich offerings and differences and most importantly our shared
humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It created in me a desire to
learn more and contribute towards our collective peaceful future. More such
travels and dialogue between people in different parts of India to Kashmir can
go a long way in building bridges, mutual cultural respect and empathy,
cultivate trust and goodwill between our fellow brothers and sisters—this would
be my appeal to fellow Indians who wish to truly bring to life our nation’s
motto of “Unity in Diversity”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Else, more
of the same and business as usual is likely to get this boiling pot to explode
sooner than later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During an interaction
I had with Class 8 students in a village school in Kashmir, a young girl said
something very moving: “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Agar hum sub
aakhir khuda ke pass hee jaane wale hai toh aaj mera tumhara karake zagadaa
kyon kar rahe hai?” (</i>If we all are ultimately going to God, why do we fight
today saying this is mine or that is yours?)<o:p></o:p></div>

While I may be naïve in my understanding of the complexity
of issues playing their role in Kashmir and my commentaries from the brief time
that I spent here, I do wish to draw from my experiences and belief in the
transformative power of genuine human-to-human connections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also wish to continue to approach these
issues with humility, curiosity, openness, courage and respect—in this
interconnected world, I cannot choose to remain isolated from what is happening
within another part of my own country—if I truly regard it to be so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moreover, being in Kashmir was a reminder for
me to not take for granted the idea of freedom and to be alert to the fact that
what may be happening in a particular region may be a reflection of a larger
tide/trend that we as a global community are a part of and may even be
unintentionally contributing towards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
also called me to investigate the seeds of violence and conflict which may be
buried deep within my own self.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had
known philosophically that the microcosm and macrocosm are deeply intertwined.
The significance of this thought and my own role in this ‘wholeness’ have become
more pronounced than ever—thanks all the churning that was set in motion during
my brief visit to Kashmir.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

I have come to believe that the real revolution (rather
evolution) required in current times of global socio-economic-ecological strife
is the (r) evolution of human heart, a collective rise in human consciousness
that sensitizes the core of our being, a shift from consumption to
contribution, isolation to community, transaction to trust and scarcity to
abundance<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(in turn a shift from
competition to cooperation) as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpyc84kamhw" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Nipunbhai Mehta</span></a> has very
beautifully articulated from his <a href="http://www.dailygood.org/view.php?sid=236" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">journey in the space of service</span></a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Based on <a href="http://vipulshaha.blogspot.in/2013/11/my-learn-from-india-journey.html" target="_blank">my <span style="color: blue;">own learning journey</span></a> so far, I sense the inevitability of, in my own lifetime,
a mass movement in the direction of re-ruralization of India…(or rurbanization
as a friend conceived it)…a movement of voluntary simplicity and back-to (or
forward to!) basics lifestyle, sustainable, holistic ways of being in harmony
with the natural surroundings and the glocal (global + local) community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While that radical movement does not appear
to be round the corner as yet, what do we do in the interim term is the

Do we lose all hope and submit to business-as-usual—clinging

The global economic and political superstructures built
through the colonial-industrial era are gasping for final breaths, desperately
trying to safeguard their control driven existence. The change of humanity’s course is
inevitable, and sooner it wakes up to it, the lesser painful the transition
will be. The only other alternative
would mean accepting a total collapse, tremendous socio-ecological unrest and
unprecedented violence. Ample signs of
mini-crashes are increasingly evident in our immediate surroundings as well as
at national and global level. Gross
socio-economic inequity and injustice has only amplified over the last two
decades of ‘economic liberalization’ in India as highlighted in this
extensively researched <a href="http://radicalecologicaldemocracy.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/brochure_globalizationindia.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">paper by Kalpvriksh</span></a>.</div>

Unfortunately, the grip of ‘modern civilization’ is so
deeply entrenched in our thought and habit patterns that despite intuitively
sensing the brewing unrest, it gets mostly ignored or suppressed with either
deluded hope or even open ridicule.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mere
intellectual rhetoric or public debate won’t suffice in order to awaken the
mind, it seems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something more direct

I had never imagined being part of a political
campaign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Politics, to be frank, always
seemed too dirty to touch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life,
however, keeps throwing new surprises and often times I have chosen to rise to
the occasion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Politics touches pretty
much every aspect of our life is what I have now come to realize.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During recent elections, I found myself
campaigning for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdPaBpK0r7I" target="_blank">Rajmohan Gandhiji</a>, who contested for the Lok Sabha seat on Aam
Aadmi platform in East Delhi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since many
years, my family has been associated with him through <a href="http://www.in.iofc.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Initiatives of Change</span></a>, which he was
instrumental in establishing in India.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Having received so much from that space and knowing about the purity of
his intentions in contesting these elections, I was drawn to serve whatever
small part I could during his campaign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His <a href="http://mybrothermohan.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">incredibly inspiring life journey</span></a> only further convinced me why the Indian parliament should not
lose a credible candidate like him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
also took pride in the fact that I was serving with the grandson of Mahatma
Gandhi, with whom my own grandfather had volunteered in his youth during the
freedom movement. <o:p></o:p></div>

Even at his senior age, Rajmohanji has relentless
energy—working from 6 am right until 11 pm or even later at times!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the mornings, we must have visited
hundreds of thousands of hutments, walking tirelessly through narrow and often
extremely filthy alleyways in the slum communities and trying to connect with
the people at a personal, human level.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Along with some volunteers, we also went to mega-sports complexes,
jogging parks, apartment buildings, private housing societies, metro station
and mall localities…there was a palpable difference in the way the middle and
upper-middle class / educated people responded to our appeal for vote and the
more ‘on-the ground’, daily-wage earning, working class people did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often times, it was the upper and the middle
class, educated folks that we had the hardest time having a cordial
conversation with!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were many
exceptions of course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes when
faced with indifference or rude comments, or doors closed on us, or just sheer
exhaustion taking over, I kept reminding myself of the famous Gandhi
quote:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Whatever you do will
be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.”<o:p></o:p></div>

The 3 weeks spent in Delhi left quite intense impressions on
me. I had numerous encounters with
countless <i>aam aadmi </i>(common people)
striving hard for their daily survival. There were several instances when I
felt utterly hopeless, insignificant, enraged or even guilty about the huge
socio-economic divides across the city.
Their pitiable living conditions and the plight for survival kept
bringing up several questions in mind. </div>

Why is there so much misery despite so much opulence around?
What is the interconnection between the two? Why do people choose to live in
slums when the countryside is so widespread and beautiful? Do they even have a
choice? Where do we begin the process of total transformation as opposed to
mere patchwork? What’s at the root? Why
should they even vote, when 60 years of a supposed democratic rule has probably
only worsened their situation? </div>

Getting into conversations with auto rickshaw drivers, who
almost always happened to be very amicable Aam Aadmi Party supporters, I was
impressed how politically savvy and fearless they were.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had tasted in 49 days of Aam Aadmi rule
a new possibility of corruption-free governance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The policemen who used to often harass them,
had to keep low during those seven weeks when AAP was in power.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The same harassment, bribe-seeking tendencies
sprang back to life immediately after the party resigned from power.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite that, the auto-drivers kept freely
posting the party banners on the back hoods (for which they had the election commission
permission and yet many policemen kept tearing those off!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The auto-rickshaw drivers often offered to transport
us across the city, without taking money, as their way of contributing to the
campaign!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

I almost got picked up by the police for allegedly
distributing campaign materials without permission, (which was a baseless accusation—because
the rule is that you need a permission if you’re in more than a group of
5).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sense of fear and insecurity was
clear in the eyes of the cop who tried to intimidate me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could only offer my compassion even as a
more stern, law-savvy friend thankfully rushed to my rescue!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From election commission, to media to police
force, it seemed as if systemic energies were applied to crush the smooth
running of the campaign in one way or the other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing could have been farther from the
truth when false allegations against Rajmohan Gandhiji—a person of highest
character and integrity—were being circulated by the candidate from the
opposition party (who in fact has 4 criminal cases pending against him!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They called Rajmohanbhai a separatist force
in the country running terrorist camps out of Panchgani! The ugly side of
politics was showing its colors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why is
it so difficult for goodness and truth to prevail in our democracy, I kept
asking myself. When personal egos and a scrambling for money, power, fame and status take over, the very purpose of politics is lost. <o:p></o:p></div>

Occasionally, the AAP volunteers had to bear the brunt of
public anger, from hard-core supporters of the opposition party.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is so much cynicism, so much distrust,
hatred, sense of betrayal, defeat and weakness among a class of people that
when faced with a 'cognitive dissonance' that threatens their heavily protected existing identity—they cannot control themselves and readily
vent out their frustration onto another being--or at least that's the explanation I offered myself! We saw people
spitting in disgust in front of our eyes, tearing off campaign papers and
throwing it in our face, giving nasty words and getting very aggressive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A friend even had stones thrown at him while
another friend had his car windshields smashed overnight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, I wondered what causes so much
separation among human beings just based on their political affiliations?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do basic human values have to be compromised
in the name of our loyalty to a particular person, party or even religion?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Deeper down, I sensed a tremendous turmoil
boiling in human hearts, yearning for a sense of oneness and healing. Sometimes
people getting the opportunity to just being peacefully heard eased the

Despite, the threat of violence and ridicule, so many
volunteers showed up purely out of strong belief for the cause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was truly moved when a volunteer, who
greatly struggled while walking (due to his physical disability), spent an
entire afternoon with us during our door-to-door campaigning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People had taken long leaves from work and
given their whole self, volunteering for the campaign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many spent money out of their own pocket to
travel long distances, or to feed fellow volunteers, and contribute towards any
incidental expenses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some worked
part-time, some on weekends or after work, others freely lent their vehicles,
office spaces…whatever resources they had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Independent journalists and filmmakers showed up to offer their
expertise! Paid-volunteers from the other parties just could not understand
this gift-culture phenomenon and kept asking us all sorts of questions! I
observed how when people are fired up with a mission and there is purity of
purpose, despite so much uncertainty, challenges, and chaos, somehow self-less
giving and service-spirit finds its way to make things happen.<o:p></o:p></div>

I look at the Aam Aadmi Party, as a movement, attempting to (non-violently) dismantle the existing class hierarchy and shift the balance of power from a handful few to the masses. Even while having to fit
itself into the existing political framework, it aims to fundamentally transform
the system from within the system. Personally, this is a topic of theoretical
interest to me—how far can a system tolerate change from within itself? Could AAP succeed in radically transforming
the politics in India (and the practice of democracy) or would the politics end
up diluting the party from its original purpose and intentions? Would it remain dynamic and responsive to the
rapidly changing needs and the uncertainty of the times ahead of us, or would
it become a yet another rigid mammoth that exists for the sake of its
existence?<br />

I believe all this will depend upon the collective citizenry of the
country—on how far they get involved and actively support the shaping up of
this movement, which is still in its nascent stages of development.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And by supporting it, I do not mean simply voting
or campaigning for AAP, but actually constructively critiquing it, contributing
to its manifesto making, taking part in the Gram Sabhas and Moholla Meetings
and so many innumerable different ways of being an active citizen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By its very conceptual framework, the ideal
of Poorna Swaraj calls for responsible power to the people…and it can only
succeed as far as the citizenry is awakened and willing to serve and contribute
to community and national regeneration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Those slums and crumbling mega cities for example, cannot be expected to
be turned around with a magic wand (or broom!) called AAP / or for that matter
any political party—by simply pressing that button on the voting machine…it
will need people stepping out of their homes, finding those extra hours after
work, on weekends, or even a lifetime commitment to shape up the course of
collective action and cooperate (or not coopearate) with government machinery
(depending upon the specific situation) and hold them accountable to deliver on
certain key parameters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
Without a
renewed sense of volunteerism and living for a higher purpose in the spirit of
service (which was widespread during the independence struggle), I do not think
that the country can get itself out of the mess it is finding itself in…more despair
and frustration would follow otherwise, irrespective of whichever party comes to power. </div>

Doing rough calculations, I was astonished to think of how
much precious human (mostly youth) energy, time and money goes into simply
trying to win elections for a single parliamentary candidate…never mind the
assembly and other elections that keep popping up constantly and the countless
number of hours wasted by people across the country watching news, and reading
newspapers that spreads more hatred and distrust than hope and unity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If only all that energy and resources could
be somehow channelized towards a more constructive, longer term, community self-sustained
wellbeing! <br />
<br />
It would also be interesting to do a little thought-experiment and try to imagine what it would be like if somehow the universal franchise were extended to include the plant and animal kingdom? What would they have to say about how this land should be governed?<br />

Vinoba Bhave, the spiritual successor of Mahatma Gandhi, has

key tenets of an ideal political order.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

self-reliance, non-violent strength and commensurate wages for all—these are
the four pillars on which the edifice of the State should rest…the aim of

That may be a tall order, however, it is not beyond human
reach is the conviction with which he led his own life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Swaraj or self-government based on
non-violence (in economic, social and other spheres) is something worth
striving towards is what he conveyed through his vision for a just world order

While the current <a href="http://www.aamaadmiparty.org/manifesto-2014" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Aam Aadmi Party Manifesto</span></a>
may be far from the promise of attaining such a Poorna Swaraj and the paradigm

“...At least we see in it (the AAP manifesto) some
glimpses of an alternative model of well-being, and given the number of AAP
members who have led or been involved in genuine peoples’ movements, perhaps it
can be helped further towards such a model,” says a leading environmentalist
and researcher Ashish Kothari in his <a href="http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/an-antienvironment-political-discourse/article5927241.ece" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">comparative analysis of party manifestos</span></a> that was published in the <a href="http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/todays-paper/tp-opinion/an-antienvironment-political-discourse/article5927241.ece" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">HinduBusiness Line</span></a> recently. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ideals like Poorna Swaraj, decentralized governance,
devolution of political power to common people, an open challenge to
crony-capitalism, an economic model that places equal importance on ecology and
economy, a stringent policy to weed out corruption, localized, strengthened and
self-reliant rural economy, are welcome moves in the Indian political
discourse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether the country is ripe
for its fruition, only time and our collective effort will tell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nevertheless, AAP has definitely rocked the
boat and created immense churning in a rather dismal political scene. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I also believe that things are always evolving and cannot be
strictly perfect from the get go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any
infant struggles to find its balance during early stages, it falters for
sometime, (and even adults do!) A movement of political overhaul in a country
that had almost lost hope in politics is going to be a long, challenging
one. A political competition for power, that does not see beyond 5 year planning (planning for elections in most cases!) is not really going to solve the humungous challenges facing our times.<br />
<br />
Ideally, politics (and a way of
life) beyond separatist / polarizing tendencies, beyond lose-win situations…is what I would truly look
forward to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a continual process, a
journey of self and societal transition and transformation however…the purity of
intentions, clarity of direction, and most importantly the courage to walk upon
it with rightful means are crucial indeed. <o:p></o:p></div>

While it is important that concerned individuals ‘Be The
Change’ and start channelizing their energies in more harmonious, sustainable,
honest occupations with a service attitude, I do not believe that is enough for
a mass movement to gain momentum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And even
though a mass movement in that direction may appear to be distant and
inconceivable in the current scenario, we must explore what some of the key
levers and crucial steps might be in preparing the ground for such a collective
shift to take place in the least tumultuous fashion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am optimistic about the recent churning in
political discourse…as a key (r) evolutionary step in that long-term transition
which awaits humanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may be a yet
another false / deluded hope on my part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Ultimately though, life cannot be sustained without faith, hope and
love!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Winding up campaigning in Delhi, I went straight to a
Vipassana retreat, which was in itself quite a profoundly intense
experience…reinforcing my belief that the clean-up task is both an outward as well as an
inward process. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What if the misery and
strife, visible externally, is merely the reflection of a troubled human
consciousness? Well, that calls for a much deeper contemplation and a continual self-inquiry!<o:p></o:p></div>

"My Brother Rajmohan Gandhi"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gopalkrishna Gandhi</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have always been in awe of him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rajmohan is a full decade older than I. He is also that much
taller. Someone just over six feet, dwarfs someone just under six feet. You
have to look up to him when hearing him speak, or when speaking to him. And he
must bend his head, just so, to help the process.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He is, has always been, at some height.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There has never been a time when I have not known him to be
meant for a purpose higher than his surroundings offer, bigger than the opportunities
that have come his way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our maternal grandfather, Chakravarti Rajagopalachari
regarded him as a natural born leader. He narrated , at a public meeting in
Bombay, once, as to how the Mahatma complained to him that in naming their
grandson Rajmohan, he, Rajaji, had placed his own part-name, Raj, ahead of
Gandhiji’s, Mohan. ‘No, Bapu, it is not quite like that’, Rajaji quickly
rationalized. ‘His name is, and will be yours – Mohan ; Raj will be merely an adjective’. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And so Mohan he has been in the family.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Raj’, in terms of office or power, has always eluded him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He is himself to blame, of course. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our father was editor of The Hindustan Times when a first
and fatal heart attack carried him away in 1957. Mohan, then twenty-two, had
just then finished an internship with The Scotsman in Edinburgh and moved towards Frank Buchman’s Moral
Re-Armament movement. Ghanshyamdas Birla asked him to join The Hindustan Times’
senior editorial staff, with the clear prospect of taking, at not too distant a
date, his father’s position in the paper. But no, fixing the world’s mildewed
moral plumbing was priority. For the next decade Mohan travelled the world
giving MRA a stature it would never have dreamed of getting without his
intellectual rigour, his shining veracity and his inspiring commitment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the general elections of 1967, many persons urged Mohan
to stand for the Lok Sabha. The Swatantra Party was then a force to be reckoned
with, though not as strong as it had been, in 1962. Rajaji was excited at the
prospect of Mohan contesting and offered his party’s backing even if he chose
to stand as an independent from Saurashtra. It is my belief that had Mohan not
opted out of that election, he would have won that election handsomely and been
in the Lok Sabha during the critical Indira Gandhi years, offering a leadership
alternative of enormous appeal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The written and spoken word were then, and remain, his
forte. Starting in the mid-Sixties, from Bombay, with the late Russi M.Lala, a brave weekly called ‘Himmat’ Mohan engaged
with Indian affairs very intimately. The weekly was read widely, admired
hugely, for its outspokenness, its high-quality writing, its appeal to
individual and collective consciences. The Emergency frowned on him, on Himmat.
‘Picked up’, with our third brother, the philosopher, Ramchandra Gandhi, on
October 2, 1975, from a prayer gathering at Rajghat, by the police, the two
could have been ‘in’ for many months. But I think Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
must have been advised that two Gandhi-Rajaji grandsons in her jail would bring
her the world press’ growl. They were both released within hours.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a sense that Emergency episode brought Rajmohan to the
heart of mainstream Indian politics as a liberal democrat, with a passion for
Hindu-Muslim amity, probity in public life and
civil liberties. Unsurprisingly, Vishwanath Pratap Singh sought Mohan
out, in the post-Bofors phase to contest against Rajiv Gandhi from Amethi, in
1989. The future Prime Minister motored to Teen Murti House where Mohan was
working in the archives, to urge him to
do so. After some reflection, Mohan agreed to do so and by so doing gave the
country its most defining election, that year. The incumbent Prime Minister was
not to be defeated easily but the panic created by Mohan’s entry in the field
led, I believe, without any sanction from Rajiv himself, to a brazen and
shameful rigging on poll-day. Mohan lost, not all that badly, but the national
outrage created by the Amethi rigging led to several elections in the
subsequent rounds elsewhere in the country going against the Congress.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mohan was brought to the Rajya Sabha by a grateful V P Singh
and was slated to be inducted in his cabinet during a re-shuffle when the V P
Singh government fell.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The loss to politics by Mohan’s political absence has been
the gain of history-writing. From his uncompromisingly fair pen have emerged
the life-stories of Gandhi, Rajaji, Patel, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan. Each one of
those books has been hailed as about the best , if not the last word on the
subject. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If the reader of this tribute by a younger brother has not read Mohan’s description of the
Mahatma’s assassination in ‘The Good Boatman’, he or she is urged to do so. A
more moving and epiphanic account is not to be found anywhere. Paradoxical as
this might seem, the Mahatma comes alive in that description. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His little book on eight Muslim leaders of the sub-continent
has done more to increasing India’s understanding of its Islamic legacy than
any other book has. His work ‘Revenge and Reconciliation’ on the
sub-continent’s conflicts must go down as a moving argument for civilisational
redemptions coming from mutual respect,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His latest book on the history of the Punjab from the time
of Aurangzeb to Mountbatten will be a reference work for all time. The response
to the work in Pakistan has been incredible.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mohan is, as always, taller than the circumstances that
surround him. That enables him to cast a look that is much longer than and goes
well beyond short-term horizons. His standing from the East Delhi seat for the
Lok Sabha in the elections that are to take place in the coming days is
consistent with his life-long passion to imbue India’s public life with ethical
standards , valuational norms and
civilisational redeeming of a kind the world will respect.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He is today an elder statesman.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If he loses, political philistinism will win.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If he wins, political grossness will be put in its place.</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;"> The election system comprises a complex web of different nuances – legal, political, economic, social, religious, ethical and moral and this complexity makes the task of suggesting reforms quite challenging. No single aspect of election process can be looked at in isolation from others. Most, if not all areas of these aspects, are of the nature where law either interacts or need to interact more closely. The focus of the Consultation Paper is, therefore, to identify those areas and aspects where law should play more prominent and engaging role.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

His, or for eight years, her parliamentary district is unrepresented while he or she holds the office. The only time a Speaker votes is to end a tie, and then his/her vote is non-partisan. Betty Boothroyd was elected speaker in 1992, the first woman ever to hold the post, and she was a pistol. Betty maintained more discipline in the Commons than either of her successors have. Not being part of either party means that the Speaker of the House of Commons never ends up in the position Speaker Boehner found himself in last night.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">The Speaker of our House only calls votes when he or she is absolutely certain that the votes are there to support the bill according to his/her party’s line.

When the ruling party loses a vote, that can trigger a new election. The whole premise of parliamentary government is that the party that holds the majority of seats in the parliament has won the whole enchilada – the legislature and the executive. If that party can’t hold the party together, then they have lost he ability to govern. In a Parliament, Boehner’s loss last night would have set him up for the procedures to end his control of the government. Of course, in a Parliamentary system, Boehner wouldn’t be Speaker, he’d be Prime Minister.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">Which leads us to the third thing I really, really like about the British system….their elections. Parliamentary elections are held on a five year cycle, unless the government fails for some reason. When scheduling the election, there is very little leeway. An election must be held withing six weeks of the call for them. A savvy Prime Minister will announce that he/she will be calling for the election at the end of a four-week recess, effectively stretching the campaign season to a whole, whopping ten weeks. No one can campaign outside of that six to ten week period. They don’t campaign from the day after the election to the day before the next one. And they don’t vote directly for the Prime Minister. He or she is chosen in the party convention to be the leader of the party. If the party wins the parliamentary election, he or she automatically becomes Prime Minister.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">The elections themselves are beautiful. Each parliamentary district is ideally less than 96,000 people. There are 650 members for a population of 62,262,000. For at least the three decades that I’ve been watching them, the results are in before dawn the next day. If the Parliament chances party, the old Prime Minister presents him/herself to the Queen around 11:30 the day after the election to tender his/her resignation and at high noon the new Prime Minister arrives to be accepted by Her Majesty. The transition is made this simple because the minority party creates what is known as the “shadow government” – a one-on-one match for the actual government, a government in waiting. It is not necessary to have a two-and-a-half month period or longer for naming every secretary of every department because they have already been chosen and have been completely informed of everything that is going on in the government.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; ">As we face the umpteenth Republican candidate debate in this two-year-long election cycle tonight, the idea of a six to ten week election cycle, a single party leader debate (the last election was the first-ever such debate), and an immediate transfer of power sounds so delightful.</p></span>Vipul Shahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16304336580858176863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-20049542287824076882010-04-08T21:50:00.001+05:302010-04-08T21:51:50.847+05:30Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington DC<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>If you wish to get involved with a memorial project for Martin Luther King, please check out this link:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><a href="http://mlkmemorialnews.org/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(7, 77, 143); ">http://mlkmemorialnews.org</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div>You can also donate online for the same.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Vipul Shahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16304336580858176863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-11758870508207436132009-06-06T16:11:00.002+05:302009-06-06T16:14:27.060+05:30Some technological issues with elections.This post was long due given that it stems from an experience about 2 months ago. Whenever I need to understand something I go to a person who seems knowledgeable in that subject and talk to him/her. In this regard I have had a chat about various technological issues asssociated to voting, with a Theoretical Computer Science prof at <a href="http://www.tifr.res.in/">TIFR</a> (my current instutute) and in general my experience has been that people in the Theoretical Computer Science do have an amazing level of clarity with thinking and precision about everything they do.<br /> I have a great admiration for people in this field.<br /><br />So this prof is very young. May be just 5 years older to me. He recently got his PhD in the subject from UIUC (USA).He is a Keralite and did his B.Tech from IITKgp.<br /><br />So here are the few insights that we generated during the discussion.<br /><br />It isn't very clear that the use of EVMs has really made the voting process very significantly fair. Now it is just a matter of what kind of forces the political parties need to harness to rig the elections. Earlier it used to be local goons and thugs and now it probably has to be some electronics engineers and techie people. We have often joked about the possibility of the political parties going for "campussing" in the IITs and other such engineering institutes hiring tech people.<br /><br />Earlier we have heard of such things happen in West Bengal: that therewould be a hole in on the top of the election room and a person would be sitting on the roof watching through the hole as to whom the person inside voted! This guy would be employed by the party X and if the person inside the booth didn't vote for part X then he would give a signal to the thugs outside from the roof-top , so that as soon as the person comes out he/she gets bashed up the goons. <br /><br />This is where EVMs have definitely made a difference. "Secret Ballot" has become a little more secret than usual. But it hasn't probably made mcuh of a difference to the rigging situation. Thre have anyway been n number of claims of the EVM circuit being tweaked by some party the night before in the godown where the EVMs are kept.<br /><br />Now the issue is what about the problem of people not being able to vote because of not being present in their constituency during their voting. This rule definitely needs to be changed given that such a large section of the youth voters live in the hostels of the various colleges far away from their home-towns. It would be a huge transportation chaos if all of the students have to be come home during the election date. They can have exams and what not. So it seems that there is good enough reason to start electronic voting and sms-voting.<br /><br />The obvious issue with electronic voting is that of online identity resolution. (and there are slightly more non-obvious problems which I shall come on later) But then it isn't very clear why simple solutions like a password protected site with Captcha will not solve the problem. Only glitch being that since we have anyway experience of the "great" internet abilities of the Indian government it might be a good idea to lease out the running of these web-pages and voting sites to professional web-development companies.<br /><br /> And with sms voting the identity resolution seems to be slightly at stake unless we can develop some very sophisticated phones. In the common cell-phoes it is easily possible for a same person to cast multiple sms votes and I am not sure how password protected voting will work on cell-phones. Sms voting reminds me of the consistent fraud which hapenned with these reality-music shows which used sms-voting. Where the parents of the contestants distributed money in their localities to motivate people to send multiple smses in favour of their kids.<br /><br />Now if we can develop very sophisticated phones which have say an iris pattern recognition system built on them which will get linked to the voting website as soon as the person logs into it. So the website will allow only 1 vote per iris pattern. But phones with such technologies to get into the market will probably take 50 more years.<br /><br />Now consider the slightly non-obvious problem with internet voting. Imagine a person with a laptop going into a locality with a gun in his hand and asking all the people to vote for party X on the website by logging in to the web-site infront of him. Done! End of all election systems. With internet voting the "secretness" of the ballot will probably be totally gone. But then the issue of bribing the electorate for getting votes becomes a little more lucrative for the parties since now one can "see" whom the guy voted for. Now the parties can start "paying" for the votes only when the vote has been cast *infront of them*! The guy can come with a suitcase of cash and a laptop and a gun and sit with it and ask the people to queue infront of him. And then ask them to come up one by one and cast their vote in the net infront of him so that he is sure that they have voted for his party and then he will hand over the 1000Rs to the person.<br /><br />So with internet voting there is greater "incentive" for the corrupt parties to bribe the electorate while the guarantee of return on the money used in bribing was less with EVM or the paper ballot. In EVMs and paper ballot the party has to pay the voter *before* the casting of the vote and there is no way for the party to check whether the bribed guy double crossed him! Hence with internet voting things can literally be "cash for vote" (With verification!). Hence a simple internet voting jeopardizes the sitaution further by giving greater incentive to corruption.<br /><br /><br />But a slight change in the mechanism of the voting web-site one can probably gain greater fairness with all the advantages of internet voting kept intact: By using something which we called the "last vote registering". Here the voter is allowed to vote multiple number of times and only his/her last vote will be counted for. So what happens is that even if the voter is forced to vote for a certain party infront of the man with the guna and cash he/she can still go back home or later sneak into a cyber-cafe somehwre and cast his vote again. Here the corrupt party loses all incentive for bribing since what this bribed guy votes infront of him can be completely reversed later!<br /><br />But there will still be a way out for the really desperate and corrupt party. The corrupt party can ensure that except for the places where it has his men with laptop guns and cash at all other places the network is snapped of. So that all homes and cyber-cafes in the area don't have internet connection on that day. But even such a desperate attempt will not be able to deter the dedicated voter since she/he can stil vote *again* by going to her/his office which is likely to be far away from her/his locality and have an interbnet connection.<br /><br />To end it my primary concern being not the fairness of the election process but the lives of the election officers lost in the election process in India. I consider them to be "martyrs" at the same level of respect as soldiers who die in the battlefield defending the nation. They fought for democracy and lost their lives.<br /><br />It is a matter of great shame that even in this recent election in India so many election officers lost their lives. <br />My interests in looking at newer technologies of voting is to eliminate this concept of "election officers".Anirbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00257290158956552196noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-58951022985181802102009-05-18T03:23:00.004+05:302009-05-18T03:35:48.210+05:30In response to "Aazadi.."I had thought of putting this up as a comment on my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">colleague</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Pratish's</span> post but then I thought it was too long to be be a comment and hence it became a quick post.<br />{Further somehow my comment didn't get registered! Some technical snag.}<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">5 points in response:<br /><br />1. Your data about the financial aspect of the Indian elections and the GDP hike are probably taken from <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/15/business/global/15rupee.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss">here</a>.<br /><br /> Thanks to <a href="http://www.math.uchicago.edu/%7Evipul/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Vipul</span></a> for pointing out this link to me.<br /><br />2. The Indian Constitution is definitely a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">magnificently</span> precise document and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">aptly</span> called the "Lawyer's Paradise". A research paper like precision was the need to keep such a diverse and complex country together and it was the genius of Dr.<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Ambedkar</span> to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">forsee</span> this.<br /><br /> But then again its immense complexity also gives rise to a million loop holes which have time again been abused.<br /><br /> Further the Indian Constitution has not been able to produce an Uniform Civil Code and most sorrowfully the marriage acts of India are still religion based. This a cause for utmost shame for India.<br /><br /> Indian Constitution definitely needs a thorough revision and updating.<br /><br />3. The fact that Indian electorate this time was 741 million is a big blotch on the image of India. It only shows how terribly we have failed to do population control and how miserably the education system has failed.<br /><br /> India will <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">one day</span> pay heavily for this stark neglect of primary education and politicization of higher education.<span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span class="" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);"><img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" alt="Link" class="gl_link" border="0" /></span></span><br />4. I strongly oppose your view that democracy is in the Indian psyche. Far from it.<br /><br /> It has been only 62 years India has been a democracy and never ever before that in its 3000 year old history has it ever been a democracy. I think 62 years is too short a time for the common man to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">internalize</span> and understand the tremendously <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">abstract</span> and subtle idea of democracy. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Comparatively</span> US has been having elections for about the last 200 years.<br /><br /> Ever so often Indian masses indulge in idolatry and someone gets hailed as the "king" or the "queen" and ever so often some politician gets termed as the "kingmaker". We are still to come out of thinking in terms of "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">malik</span>" (owner) and "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">naukar</span>" (<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">servant</span>) and these terms get used in India for every form of hierarchy whereas in reality NO hierarchy should be termed so. And so often so employees in an office call their boss as "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">saheb</span>" (a term which originates from the address to British officers!)<br /><br />India has a long long way to go to attain true democratic status. Success of democracy goes hand in hand with the penetration of education in the society and the status of the later in India is dismal to say the least.<br /><br />But yes definitely this year the Indian Electorate has shown considerable maturity and intelligence by virtually killing so many corrupt people and parties working along divisive lines of caste and religion and regional issues and opportunists.<br /><br />But the fact that some such elements have still made it through says that we as a nation still have a long way to go.<br /><br />5. If in the last 3000 years of Indian history there is one thing that has time and again defined India is its scientific creativity and research potential. 2000 years ago when civilizations were being born elsewhere India had produced the mathematics of calculus and theory of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">infinite</span> series and predictive astronomy and plastic surgery (including even the science of doing amputations without causing infections!) and amazing level of phenomenological medical knowledge.<br /><br /> And not to mention the terrific rise of architectural brilliance in the 18<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">th</span> century. India had then been an exceptional engineering heaven.<br /><br /> Sorrowfully this essential identity of India gets strongly <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">deprioritized</span> by the Indian democracy and the election choices. There are just so few people in the parliament from the scientific fields and almost never does science education and research gets mentioned as the prime concern of the government. If India has to become the major world player in this century it has to ensure exponential growth in its scientific and academic efforts.<br /><br />Indian elections are yet to mature to reflect this reality.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Anirbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00257290158956552196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-25386718288927812522009-05-17T10:16:00.001+05:302009-05-17T10:18:08.257+05:30Aazadi..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEc_OimfrMyiQ9hlBSWCoDJV4zv4X8HFDAdglMBigMGkHKF4wSbPPtkzn5qGuOVqym9gKIjgjaR5dfqMByNxfQ-m83Phxt6vqXXsEGdmqGp5DiBrfsm0wALgyIkr9CreCeerInlbEN6ZQS/s1600-h/Tiranga.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEc_OimfrMyiQ9hlBSWCoDJV4zv4X8HFDAdglMBigMGkHKF4wSbPPtkzn5qGuOVqym9gKIjgjaR5dfqMByNxfQ-m83Phxt6vqXXsEGdmqGp5DiBrfsm0wALgyIkr9CreCeerInlbEN6ZQS/s320/Tiranga.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336648517436084658" border="0" /></a>Came by this interesting story while reading the newspaper a few days ago - A small village girl was waiting by the side of the dusty road for her poor, illiterate father. "<span style="font-style: italic;">Aapke pocket mai kya hai, abba?</span>", she asked curiously looking at his decrepit face. The father put his hand in the pocket and removed a voter ID card. <span style="font-style: italic;">"</span><span style="font-style: italic;">Yeh hai meri Aazadi</span>", he smiled.<br /><br />When an illiterate man can understand the power that that a voter ID card has, why can't the so-called educated class? Or are we so pompous that we should not care? Are we so above 'mediocrity' that we should be obtuse to matters relevant to development of our own motherland? More than 60 years after India gained Independence, if there is one thing that holds this diverse country together, it's this <span style="font-style: italic;">loktantra</span>. The democracy philosophy is etched deeply in the Indian psyche, and no matter what skeptics say, there is nothing that can beat it. With a registered voter base of over 714 million Indians [something which some continents don't even have as net population], this election in India can surely be called as the biggest democratic exercise on the planet. I read somewhere that this time, about $3 billion were spent by parties and candidates on advertising, transportation, endorsements and, you guessed right, bribing. It is expected to give an almost 0.5% stimulus to India's GDP for 2 quarters this year, according to Kotak Securities. The number of polling officials employed by the Election Commission was a staggering 46 lakh. This is just mind-boggling. No wonder foreign countries are simply in awe of this mammoth event. I read in the newspaper few days ago that some countries sent their representatives and Election Commission officials to learn a lesson or two from the Indian Election Commission. Democracy is the best gift that our founding fathers bestowed upon us. We may criticize Pandit Nehru, Dr. Ambedkar, Sardar Patel and others every now-and-then, but it was due to their extreme love for the country that we lead a stable life today. It is because of their cautiousness and thoughtfulness that an event as large, complex and sensitive as this can pass smoothly with minimal hiccups. They rightly have been called visionaries, great men who put the country before their individual egos. Maybe, 150 years of British rule taught us the right lessons at the right time to stay united. India truly was blessed with able leaders at that time. Else, with a diversity much more complex than our own neighbor, we would not have even survived like a fragile nation that Pakistan is now. Sometime back, me and my brother [who too, is interested in politics and matters alike] were comparing some data about the Indian Constitution that he had. We compared our Constitution with the that of countries like France, USA and Argentina. That was one occasion when I really felt proud about my country. But I felt a little ashamed too. I realized how much efforts our past leaders had made in making a near flawless rule-book in the hope that this great nation will never have to face internal or external threats and how conveniently indifferent we have been all along. Even a non-expert like me could easily distinguish and appreciate the level of sophistication invested in the making of our Constitution. It made me realize the base on which our country is founded is so firm and strong.<br /><br />But why then do we face so much ambiguity when it comes to forming a Government now at the Centre? Why, for the past 20 years has there not been even one single party Government? Why do the major parties have to dance to the whims and fancies of minor, regional parties every single time? This is the real, valid internal threat to India's democracy. And it seems the voter community shrewdly realized this and punished the regional <span style="font-style: italic;">netas</span> [like Sharad Pawar, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Smt. Mayawati] to some extent this time. More than 300 parties contested this national election, 7 of whom were deemed national parties [both numbers are just hilarious]. In the event of a fractured mandate, the following things are likely to happen -<br />1] Immense behind-the-stage bribing and horse-trading [which is evident in some ways already].<br />2] No matter how accommodating everybody is, it will remain a fragile formation with a constant threat of Government collapse. One partner gone and it could be Game Over.<br />3] Instead of being a National Government taking decisions of national consensus, every time some regional player will try to extract his 'pound of flesh' by hijacking national policy meetings with petty regional issues. This inevitably will drag down development and correctly indicate that the Government is like a directionless boat.<br /><br />It took 150 years for this country to realize the virtues of staying united. Do we want to tread down that same nasty road? Do we want history to repeat itself? It's high time we valued the <span style="font-style: italic;">Aazadi</span> that we have been bestowed upon before our country breaks down again into tiny fiefdoms. As I said before, based on this election's mandate, the people of India seem to have been alerted to this possibility, but not in entirety. It is the voter's responsibility to finish off this threat forever.<br /><br />PS : On a personal note, I did NOT vote this time. I was staying in a random place [in the constituency of Chennai] of which I really know nothing. Had I been in Pune, I definitely would have voted, for I know what matters and what's going on. So, it was rather disappointing when I found out that only 40% of the people in Pune voted. Next time, if I'm in a well-acquainted place, I will note lose my chance; because, as they say, "<span style="font-style: italic;">no vote, no opinion.</span>"<br /><br />Note : This article has also

Hence I was spending more time with Physics. Now is this a bad logic that I have actually been contributing more to the nation by trying to do my Physics well rather than blogging here? }<br /><br />Anyway thanks to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Vipul's</span> comments and pokes, it accelerated the process of me finally writing down some things which I have been thinking of recently. The election round the corner seems to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">provocate</span> enough number of dinner and coffee table discussions to keep one's mind thinking and hence thought of sharing some of the thoughts which I discussed during these discussions.<br /><br /><br />1. One thing has always worried me as to whether election makes any sense in a country where most voters are illiterate and are probably have little or no information about the political scenario and the plans of the parties and the larger questions that the country needs to face. Can't really blame the people because if one has to struggle day in and day out to make one's both ends meet one simply can't afford to keep track of the larger questions! The larger issues are simply a luxury when you are not assured of your next meal.<br /><br />In this situation what is the difference between large number of uneducated/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">(mis</span>/non) informed or non-thinking voters voting and voting by a random number generator? <the>Like we can have a button on the EVM which will call a rand() function when pressed!<br /><br />It seems to me that a random number generator will be better since it will be unbiased and might help a better party win in comparison to a corrupt <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">politician</span> being able to "buy" these non-thinking voters by dubious means.<br /><br />Here one also sees why issues like "caste" and "religion" and "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">telengana</span>" issue based voting makes such an impact in India. When the population is so huge with no net coherence of thought then if some local issue can cause a local correlation it has large contribution to the net scenario since the rest of the system is anyway randomized! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Thats</span> what politicians use, cause local polarization (especially with a non-thinking mass) based in local issues hoping that there is no large scale coherence.<br /><br />This actually shows why "blogs" are potentially powerful. They can become centers to cause these correlations among a certain section of the population and that can become non-trivial.<br /><br /><br />2. The point about becoming an effective voter is whether as a voter I am a "thinker" who takes a well-thought decision or a "believer" who goes by the hype and votes for the party which best hypnotizes me into believing in them.<br /><br />As <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Vipul</span> put it in a catchy question to me<br /><br />"Do you think you are believer or you believe that you are a thinker?"<br /><br /><br />Let us first realize that the essential reflection of whether one is a thinker or a believer is in the way the person makes "choices". Its the process of decision making that amounts to making a choice is what differentiates between "thinkers" and the rest. It can start from simple things like working on a maths question where at every step one needs to think to decide the optimal next step and also in bigger questions like choosing one's life-partner.<br /><br /><br /><br />Let me try to list out here as to what all a person needs to be a "thinker" apart from the basic minimum intelligence which unfortunately a person cannot change :<br /><br />1. Freedom of choice.<br /><br /> Unless one has choices there is no use of the ability to think. If one gets excessively constrained that one's choices then there is nothing that the person can do even if he/she can think. Now choices can get constrained by internal as well as external reasons. Internal as in, I fail to see the choices that exist or may be for external reasons where some external force closes choices for me. like as a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">dalit</span> landless farmer facing the guns of the rich upper-caste landlords, my choices in life are too constrained.<br /><br />A large section of the Indian electorate is deprived of this fundamental thing as in freedom to choice.<br /><br />And pretty paradoxically this section of the people who are artificially deprived of choices are the one's for whom a good government might make the biggest difference. Rich businessmen and people in research are probably more immune to political perturbations.<br /><br />2. Relevant and correct information.<br /><br /> This is the next step. I have enough intelligence to think and say I have choices but still I need some substance to start thinking on. An Economics Nobel Laureate simply can't think about a question in Quantum Theory unless she/he knows enough Physics.<br /><br /> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Thats</span> the basic kind of problem a large section of the Indian electorate faces. Many simply can't afford to get time to get themselves informed about the parties and the larger issues since they have their first priority to arrange for food! Who cares about what happens to the nation when I am hungry and have no food to eat? And another considerable section of the population simply doesn't care to find out though they have lots of resources since either they are too busy with their profession or busy hanging out at the malls. Somehow given the kinds of lives we live cocooned inside research institutes worrying day and night about courses, assignments, exams and science, politics and larger questions of India seems pretty distant.<br /><br /><br /><br />Given that large sections of the population don't cast a well-thought vote..I don't know what sense democracy makes in a country like this.<br /><br /><br /><br />Now there are 3 sides to see in this:<br /><br />1. If everybody is busy with his/her life striving for professional excellence isn't that by economic ideas an optimal state for the country? How does it then matter whether each person is thinking about the future of governance and larger national questions since anyway every person is trying for professional excellence?<br /><br />May be the above idea can be put in analogy with the idea of economics that "we get our bread because the baker wants to make profit". The idea is that such a set of people is creating "positive <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">externalities</span>" for each other and the system is thus progressive and then why would anyone need a government? Somehow isn't it possible for such a system of "self-optimizing systems" to show some kind of spontaneous large scale <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">collaboration</span> like what in statistical physics is called "self-organized <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">criticality</span>"?<br /><br />The associated idea is that a single man's vote is irrelevant to the election since one vote cannot make difference to the future and the energy and time needed to spend to inform oneself and vote knowledgeably is huge.<br /><br /> And at the end of all this research the person for whom this party voted might not win. Hence the "net payoff" in this process tends to 0 and hence this makes no economic sense for a person to drop commitment to one's profession and educate oneself about the larger national issues.<br /><br />So why should anyone vote?<br /><br /><br />2. When every person is trying to achieve personal professional excellence then everyone is tending to get into a tunnel vision where one is slowly missing the larger picture and anyway people are only going to create positive <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">externalities</span> only locally and not cause large scale collaborations to happen.<br /><br />This is where the government chips in with an external view of the larger picture to cause macroscopic reallocation of resources to optimize its utilization by the entire population as opposed to the only local optimization that you and I can cause.<br /><br />Hence one needs a good government.<br /><br /><br />3. Education and ability to think brings in with it a sense of individualism and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">independence</span> of thought. How likely is it that a set of such people will show cohesion and coherent thinking? Why hasn't it happened that all the good students across the various world class institutes in India like <a href="http://www.cmi.ac.in/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">CMI</span></a>, <a href="http://http//www.isical.ac.in/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">ISI</span></a>, <a href="http://http//www.iitk.ac.in/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">IIT</span></a>, <a href="http://http//www.tifr.res.in/About_TIFR/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">TIFR</span></a> get together to form a party which will surely have an average IQ and education billion times any other existing party?<br /><br /> Why should a thinker voter when the rest of the thinkers can't think cohesively to put up candidate?<br /><br /><br />Is election necessarily a compromise?<br /><very><br /><br /><br />The question is where does the market <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">equilibrate</span> between these 3 competing factors? Can a government have this global ability to cause large scale optimization by macroscopic rearrangement of resources? Can a government be expected to have enough insight and information to cause this?<br /><br />If the answers to the above question is "no" and if anyway most voters are "non-thinkers" (and hence 1 thinker's vote counts for nought) and even economically it makes no sense to try to be a "thinker" w.r.t voting, why should I vote or worry about casting a good vote instead of doing Physics and Maths properly?</the>Anirbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00257290158956552196noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-34052912022483274072009-01-16T11:17:00.002+05:302009-01-16T11:36:45.694+05:30Jaago Re!I have just returned from a discovery of India train trip called Jagriti Yatra. Meeting people of high passion and integrity whereever we went. One such young man we met in Bangalore is Jasmine Shah--the brain behind famous TATA Tea Jaago Re Campaign. Jasmine is just 27, is an IIT pass-out and is working with full dedication for a key cause (asking people, especially the young Indians to vote) that he believes will tranform the democratic scenario in India. Like many of us young people, Jasmine too felt very disturbed by the state of our politics. Blaming politicians and the system has become a favorite pass-time among our people. The young Indians, especially the urban youth, have grown up to be apathetic towards our political system. Jasmine believed that if we have any right to blame the system, we must first perform our duty of casting a vote. He also wondered why in a country which has nearly 60% of its population below the age of 30 we do not have a more younger representation in our political leadership? It was one article in India Today that triggered Jasmine to launch his Jaago Re Campaign. The article talked about how the outcome of a local election in Bihar was turned around to a positive one by the sheer power of youth vote. Jasmine wanted this to happen at national level--simply by encouraging young voters to go out and vote. His Jaago Re campaign was thus born and no wonder the TATA's were there to support such a noble cause.<br /><br /> Jasmine hopes to have a minimum of 1 million voter registrations done by the upcoming assembly polls. An urban Indian can now register himself for voting on Jaagore.com The website breaks several myths regarding our electoral process. Kudos to Jasmine and his team! Jaago Re Indian Youth!Vipul Shahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16304336580858176863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-272976203459308752009-01-13T16:06:00.000+05:302009-01-13T16:07:42.097+05:30It’s time for a partyIt’s time for a party<br /><br />We are in the beginning of a New Year. The air is charged with election fever. The time is right to think about a new approach to politics and a new agenda for political parties.<br /><br />All the parties in the field today have become prisoners of their past. Caste, region- or community-based thinking or highfalutin claims of secularism, as a veneer to hide vote bank politics, has become the norm. Thanks to extensive corruption we have had an ever deteriorating record of very bad governance. No wonder, the recent Mumbai terrorist attack resulted in an explosion of anger against the political class. One of the advisors of President Elect Obama has noted that a crisis is an opportunity that should not be wasted. Is our crisis in governance, culminating in 26/11, and an opportunity for creating a space for a new political party or a new basis for political dialogue?<br /><br />It is never too late to learn. As Rajaji observed the low value charcoal in our kitchen, the costlier graphite in our pencils and the diamond in our rings have the same chemical element carbon. If a lifeless substance like carbon can change so dramatically in value depending on the temperature and pressure conditions under which it was formed, how much greater must be the potential for change for the better in sentient live humans?<br /><br />There may be still hope for our parties if they think of adopting a new agenda for politics. Totally new parties or NGOs in the process of emerging as regular political parties, as parties like Dr Jayaprakash Narain’s Loksatta, can easily adopt a new agenda in tune with India’s real needs today and take advantage of the national sentiment following the shock of 26/11.<br /><br />The basic mantra must be to put and end to divisive politics, get out of the ever shrinking identity traps and strongly promote the idea that we are all Indians, one people, sharing a common motherland and a great tradition of culture and civilization.<br /><br />The simple unifying principle for such an effort would be an imaginative adoption of universal employment as the tara ka mantra. Our vaunted demographic dividend will turn into a nightmare if we don’t provide productive employment to youth. Ensuring productive employment to them should be the goal of the party.<br /><br />From this will follow a whole set of strategies and policies for a ready nationwide appeal. The first element of this strategy should be productivity and war on waste in all sectors. The second element should be a national effort at skill development. This will call for a drastic change in the access to education, producing world-class educational institutions and not denying access to any Indian to the best education on grounds of caste, community and other shibboleths of social justice. The third element would be autonomy of the institutions of education along with effective regulation to ensure that, while malpractices are not tolerated, new initiatives are encouraged. The fourth element of strategy would be encouraging entrepreneurship with a flexible labor policy. The fifth element would be elimination of corruption from all sectors by simplifying regulations and eliminating red tape.<br /><br />The sixth element should be a system of built-in-accountability in the implementation of every law and policy. Our greatest failure as a nation is our poor record of implementation, thanks to a built-in culture of lack of accountability. 26/11 was the latest proof of this sad reality.<br /><br />A nation cannot have poor public health and hope to emerge as an economic power. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) as the root for access to public health must be the seventh element of this strategy. A new party based on these seven elements can bring a refreshing reorientation in the sterile self-destructive political debate of today. After all as the old Gujarati proverb says, “Jaagya, thyar thi savaar” (The day begins when you wake up).Anuj Shahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06964488033775280399noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-8358331120195817522009-01-07T14:05:00.001+05:302009-01-07T14:07:10.566+05:30I VOTE NOBODY Law-Its Time to Use ThisSection 49-O of the Constitution -<br />Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!<br />Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".<br />Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that · polling will be cancelled and · Will have to be re-polled. · Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them. This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....<br />Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India ... show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting... so don't miss your chance. So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...<br />"Please forward this mail to as many as possible, so that we, the people of India , can really use this power to save our nation".<br />Use your vote right for a better INDIA .Anuj Shahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06964488033775280399noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-62682969603396115822009-01-06T01:22:00.002+05:302009-01-06T01:26:53.008+05:30Today are we really all Mumbaikers? (Part 3) {Characater of terror and what money can and cannot buy.}A naive question that sometimes rises in my mind is if let us say India were a nation where everyone is well-fed and every person has a happy life and everyone is well-educated then will India become completely resistant to all sorts of terror activities? Will such an India be a land which doesn't even become the breeding ground for terrorism? If everyone in this world has sufficient resources to survive then will that world be devoid of terrorism?<br /><br />I deeply feel that the face of terror has changed a lot and the modern form of terrorism CAN NOT be checked by access to good life to everyone. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Osama</span> comes from a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">very</span> rich family and his top men are well-educated <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">professionals</span> who are doctors, engineers etc.<br /><br />We should realize that terrorists are no Robin Hoods who are fighting to acquire resources for some deprived people. They are basically thinkers who are motivated by some idealism beyond measure and are not coming from any economically deprived background.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Of course</span> one is aware of how many poor families are exploited by these terror groups. They get threatened to pay either a large sum of money to these outfits or send some of their young men in the family to join the group. Obviously the poor people choose the later alternative. The poor section of the people are very vulnerable to exploitation and they eventually act as feeding centers of these groups.<br /><br />But even then the question rises if there were no such poor people to exploit will terror groups get crippled?<br /><br />Again I feel that the answer is NO. There are thousands of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">intellectuals</span> across the world who are brain-running these organizations. They are well educated people with specific ideological motives. They are sharper diplomats than most governments have and are fine thinkers. They have <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">propaganda</span> running all around to motivate the young and educated to join their outfits and become vehicles in their way to attain those political and ideological goals. There is a huge section of these terror groups who are joining these outfits not out of any need or force but <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">by sheer</span> motivation of ideology.<br /><br />A world where resources are available to everyone is not going to prevent the rise of this educated and motivated section of the terror groups.<br /><br />One must realize that not every lay man can be converted into a terrorist. It is not easy to motivate a person to go on a kill and have him kill thousands. It takes a lot of awareness and understanding (or probably <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">mis</span>-understanding!) of the history and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">political</span> complications that exist in this world to feel motivated for a reason and motivated enough to lay down one's life and kill thousands for it. It is a very different level of inspiration than what we can off-hand imagine. Many feel inspired by the words of some great orators like say Vivekananda or by the words of some public figure or politicians but these inspirations are far less than what is required to lay down one's life for it or kill thousands for it.<br /><br />There is probably no one in India who is motivated by any politician or spiritual leader in India to the extent to which the terrorists are motivated by their intellectual gurus running these organizations from far away.<br /><br />War against terrorism is not a fight against a few hundred men with sophisticated rifles but a fight against some ideologies which are far more stronger than anything else when it comes to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">motivate</span> people.<br /><br /><br /><br />To summarize we should realize the following character of the terrorists:<br /><br /><br />1. They are NOT a bunch of irrational people creating havoc. They are decisive thinkers with immense education behind them, who have a very specific interpretation of history and politics of this world. They are cool thinkers working with definite purpose and methods. They are people working with definite organization and discipline.<br /><br />One can put it this way that if someday India concedes Kashmir to Pakistan then <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Masoor</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Azad</span> and such men will be hailed as "freedom fighters" by many people and whose lives will be taught in history books in some parts of the world just as we teach about the lives of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Bhagat</span> Singh to Indian school children. Reciprocally British considered <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Bhagat</span> Singh to be a terrorist and life of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Bhagat</span> Singh is not taught to British school children.<br /><br />In our war against terrorism we should keep in mind that against whom we are fighting are glorified as "freedom fighters" among large sections of the people.<br /><br /><br />2. They are NOT people "without return address" (as US believed them to be some-time ago). They have specific shelters and refuge centers across the world. They have powerful patrons. Whenever they see themselves getting cornered by some government they have specific places to return to and hibernate, regroup and then again attack back when the time is ripe.<br /><br />3. They are NOT people who are working out of deprivation. They are well-off people fighting for their ideological goals. One cannot hope to bargain with terrorists by offering in exchange money or other resources.<br /><br /><br /><br />Terrorists have enough of anything that money can buy.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So any plan to counter terrorists have to keep the following in mind:<br /><br />1. The immediate aim of the war has to be to try to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">eliminate</span> the intellectual sources of terrorism with as much urgency as governments try to eliminate the financial and other material sources of terrorism.<br /><br />With the thinkers and philosophers gone what shall be left of the terrorists is just clusters of men trained to shoot. Indian army can take care of them with ease. What the army will not be able to fight with ease are the thousands of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">strategists</span> and political thinkers across the world who are motivating people across the world to fight for their ideals.<br /><br /><br />2. Talk to the vulnerable youth before the terrorist propaganda talks to them!<br /> This I think is the most important thing to do now as an extension of the education system of India.<br /><br />This shall have to be an extensive outreach form of the education system which goes knocking door to door across India and neighbouring countries to teach the youth about the ideas of nationhood and ways to practical realization of it. To teach them use their skills to directly solve the problems that their nation faces and do these BEFORE the sophisticated thinkers behind terror outfits go picking these youngsters and brainwashing them into their ideas of killing.<br /><br /><br />3. Try to eliminate poverty in specific places where terror groups are active. They are most vulnerable. If poverty elimination looks like a long plan then <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">at least</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">immediately</span> hike up the security of these economically backward regions.<br /><br /><br />4. Have an extreme level of control of who and what enters through the borders of India. A definitive form of identification of every resident of India, like say a number that shall identify every Indian. And every person in India should be able to prove his identity of being an Indian by that number whenever and wherever demanded of. You might be sitting in the cafe with your girlfriend but if demanded suddenly in the cafe by some passing by army person, you should be able to prove that you are an Indian by that unique number. And if the person fails to do so she/he should be immediately taken into custody.<br /><br />This may sound harsh but given the situation in India this is time for strict measures.<br /><br />It shall be a very difficult thing to implement in a country of 1 billion where so many people are homeless and where there are million remote areas where no transport goes. But still I think this is an effort worth trying.\<br /><br />Apart from the security aspect this numerical identification has the chance of unifying India through a common means rising beyond all other local identities.<br /><br />We have too large and rough a boundary with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Himalayas</span> on one side and ocean on the other. Our borders are too porous and it is too <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">difficult</span> to control what goes on there. But we have to have very strict control of what goes in and goes out of it. Such high security at the borders will mean a sharp decline in the trade that occurs there but I suppose when national security is at stake it is a very small cost to pay.<br /><br />The above control at the boundary and control over identification will definitely need to be supported by a strong drive across the nation to curb the population growth drastically. Today it is time we look at no child per family rule. 1 child per family also looks to be too costly given the devastatingly large <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">burden</span> of 1 billion.<br /><br /><br />Today standing in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">these</span> times let us all Indians exchange all our personal freedoms and choices if the need comes for the sake of national security and to fight <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">terrorism</span>. It is not the time to be politically correct. It is not the time to preach ideas of a liberal world and democracy.Anirbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00257290158956552196noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-33390973746640152642009-01-06T01:16:00.002+05:302009-01-06T01:20:54.193+05:30Today are we really all Mumbaikers? (Part 2) {Is the "Indian" fighting terrorism?}It is simple mathematics that the sum of a randomly chosen set of vectors will tend to 0 as we keep increasing the number of vectors. Precisely the situation with India. The huge diversity that exists in India rarely ever seems to work in favour of the nation since this diversity has through out history prevented any coherence between the thoughts of people across India to develop. The random phase differences has always led to destructive interference and whenever our Indian identity is suddenly under attack, like by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kasab</span> and his men, the entire set of 1 billion people are unable to immediately respond with any unanimous voice or action. Aptly reflected in the dilapidated and confused response of the government to the issue.<br /><br />How many more attacks on this land will it take for this nation to feel united?<br /><br />India as it stands today is a land where one can get anything from life to love with money or muscle power. It is a nation where everything is a commodity and anything can be sold and acquired by force be it life or sex or body organs or seats in the parliament or seats in the train or marks in the examination. It is a nation where even the best of students in the elite institutes of India can be seen dancing to the tunes of the professors and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">buttering</span> them to keep them happy so that they can get good grades and good recommendation letters so that they can get a seat in some US university. (Leave alone the fact that many professors are vulnerable to such lowly behaviours!). When I was in school in St.Xavier's Collegiate School, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Kolkata</span>, in class 8 I had seen my Hindi teacher "selling" marks in the examination. I didn't feel even slightly disappointed at failing in that exam when after the exam I saw one student go to the teacher after the class and telling him "Sir, Is 100Rs for every mark okay with you?". Over the next few days that teacher got gifts of various kinds. Since today I have no way to prove this incident in court, I can't write here the name of the teacher.<br /><br />This nation CAN NOT fight terrorism.<br /><br />We as a nation have been completely unable to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">build</span> in some basic civic sense and environment consciousness. We have been unable to prevent people from spitting and throwing garbage in the streets and have been unable to ensure that people don't get into the trains without a reservation ticket. Leave alone the fact that most train ticket <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">checkers</span> in India can be bribed to get a place to sit in the train even if it is by the toilet! India as a nation has failed to imbibe within its people the basic ideas of honesty and correctness. It is a nation that lacks sincerity with anything it does and we unashamedly keep taking pride in some great men who have been from India whereas the rest of the country is completely disjoint from these <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">handful of</span> great Indians. It is a nation that has never seen a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">renaissance</span> or a revolution that affected the common man. The common man has historically been kept away from all sorts of intellectual reforms or political upheavals.<br /><br />And obviously in this strain one should mention our shameful failure to check the population growth. Its a time-bomb that has blasted and the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">repercussions</span> continue to thrash us in day to day life. Various reasons rising from mainly vote-bank politics has corrupted the politicians and have prevented them from talking about this issue bravely and facing the population expansion problem. It seems completely ridiculous that this country in 50 years post independence can't control its population!<br /><br />This failure is a collective failure of the Indian education system resulting from politically driven education system where every thing is done with the aim of ensuring a win in the elections than what is good for the country. We have compromised to the extent of not teaching some basic <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">ideas</span> to the students in fear that this might conflict other social and religious teachings and might result in the mass angered against the government.<br /><br />This inability of India to follow logic and look beyond social customs and religious teachings has resulted in a jeopardized large population. A large population immediately becomes a breeding ground for hideous activities (could be terrorism ) since it is so easy to hide oneself in this large population.<br /><br />India faces a complete internal security failure in form of loss of accountability of the people.<br /><br />This nation CAN NOT fight terrorism.<br /><br />What India lacks in general today is a sense of honesty at every level apart from the most tangible <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">loss </span>in the form of being prone to bribes and corruptions. Most professors in even the elite institutes of India simply come and go having taught nothing useful in the classes or having made any effort to be correct or having made any efforts to ensure that the student has learnt anything correct. Most of them simply hand-wave arbitrary things knowing that most students fearing back-reaction from the prof. in terms of bad marks and grades will not question. They produce students who have grown up listening to such hollow lectures full of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">erroneous</span> ideas and they become teachers for the next generation and the cycle continues. There is no feed-back mechanism where things get <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">corrected</span> just as there is no check on a minister for those 5 years he is power. In the end what India is left with is a completely dilapidated education system in which it is solely a good student's credit if she/he has been able to learn something correct. And it is only best that we don't talk of the state of primary education in India...I wonder whether it "educates" anyone.<br /><br />As a by-product we have a huge section of the youth in the colleges of India given to drugs and alcohol. Millions of potential thinkers and workers for India drowning their talents in narcotics. Unemployment in India is not just a result of growing population of India but is very much growing from the fact that the Indian youth is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">today</span> devoid of thoughts and creativity but soaked in alcohol.<br /><br />This nation with a corrupt <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">education</span> system and a lost youth CAN NOT fight terrorism.<br /><br />We as Indians have weakened ourselves in every way we could have morally, physically and intellectually. We have built a nation where the youth neither thinks nor speaks the truth. We have created a nation where each and every person is in some way or the other afraid of falling out of favour with someone, student from the teacher and teacher from the head of the department or employee from the boss and the companies from the ruling party and the politicians from the part leader and so on the chain continues.<br /><br /><br />India is a nation built on favouritism going back to the times when the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">rajas</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">maharajs</span> gave <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">privileges</span> or the Britishers bribed <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Nawabs</span> etc with titles of "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Rai</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Bahadur</span>". We as a nation have never thought of attaining anything without favouritism and what hence we have a nation which never speaks the truth but only continues to try to be diplomatically correct so that she/he is socially well-off. <br /><br />What better state than this could a nation be to be a soft target for the terrorists! With this factious state of affairs we have made ourselves extremely penetrable to all sorts of foreign designs. It is pretty trivial to play one section of the Indian population against another and generate local support. I am pretty sure that without generating local shelters a foreign force can't operate so <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">efficiently</span>. Further it is not just direct support in terms of resources and information but also to some extent there has to be presence of elements who render moral support. <br /><br />Its only surprising that not all the terrorist groups across the world don't have their head quarters in India!Anirbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00257290158956552196noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-64451471699268829872009-01-06T01:07:00.001+05:302009-01-06T01:15:54.513+05:30Today are we really all Mumbaikers? (Part 1) {Is it a nation of 1 billion people called "India" that is fighting terrorism together? }Recently it was reported that the ninth child, a girl, of a certain poor family in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Bihar</span> was sold by their parents to someone in exchange for a few square meals a day. I am sure it is one of the millions of such incidents in India which got reported. Its a country where poor daily wage labourers sell their blood for 500 or 1000Rs per bottle to earn a living and many people sell one of their kidneys for 50,000 to 1<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">lakh</span> rupees to stay alive.<br /><br />This is my India that hopes to fight cross-border terrorism! <br /><br />I find it ridiculous to say the least and obviously the only thing that comes from the prime-minister and the defence minister post 26/11 are a few hollow shouts at Pakistan. Isn't there a fat chance that the Indian government acted meekly against Pakistan sponsored terrorism simply to preserve their Muslim <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">vote bank</span> in India?Can't forget that the elections are knocking at their door!<br /><br />Pakistan almost making a joke of India's calls by showing the world that it is trying to curb state sponsored terrorism by putting a few locks on the offices of some of the terrorists!<br /><br />India as it stands has a completely hollowed society split under innumerable factions and it is too fragile a society in terms of unanimous thinking and this society CAN NOT fight terrorism. How is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Ajmal</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Kasab</span> and his men <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">different</span> from those doing business in India by selling kidneys, blood and doing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">pre</span>-birth sex determination to kill the girl child? (whom Nobel Laureate <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Amartya</span> Sen called the "Missing Women"...<a href="http://figments-of-the-mind.blogspot.com/2007/08/60th-year-of-independence-in-land-of.html">I wrote a blog about this some time ago</a> )<br /><br />An army fights as a group so that its organization is not infiltrated by the enemies. How can that army win a battle when its own organization is itself infiltrated by the enemies or its organization is itself crumbling due to corruption?<br /><br />Let us not fool <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">ourselves</span> in taking pride in the elusive concept of "United Republic of India" and rusting statements about "Unity in Diversity"! "India" is just a concept that exists in pen and paper and has never existed in reality. People of this "nation" have never really thought in any unanimous way and have never thought of themselves as part of the same nation. The idea of "nationhood" has never been a part of the Indian psyche. A typical person from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Kerala</span> or West Bengal is very likely to give his first identity as a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Keralite</span> or Bengali rather than as an Indian. State identity is only one of the million possible identities that can get <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">pre</span>-dominance over their national identity. In some social or religious <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">occasion</span>, this <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Keralite</span> or the Bengali might again get united under their identity of being a "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Brahmin</span>"! but even by mistake they might not unite as "Indian".<br /><br />The nation called "India" is only an abstract idealization of a factious reality and the "Indian" is some fictional character.<br /><br />We teach the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">school</span> children very proudly about the "Revolt of 1857" and give them the idea that this supposedly "great Indian uprising" was the first organized revolt India launched against the British. I have found all these sugar-coated statements to be extremely erroneous and anyone who has read history even a little more carefully would have realized how <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">completely</span> disjoint the 1857 revolt was from common Indian. (not to mention the surgical door to door butchering of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">lakhs</span> of Indians by the British post-revolt of those families who took part in the revolt)<br /><br />1857 revolt came no where close to the French Revolution where the common man took up arms. 1857 revolt was purely a meek attempt by some local provincial kings to join forces to regain their authority over their lands. It was purely a fight by the local rulers to regain power and no one had any idea of "India" in them and they were not fighting for liberation of India. <br /><br />The reality as I see today is that we still are split along the same lines as the armies in 1857 were split. Regional division is so deeply ingrained by those 200 dark years of British Rule in India that even today it takes only a little bit of spark to set one region on a blood-hunt of the other...recent example being the attack of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">MNS</span> against the candidates from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Bihar</span>!<br /><br />This piece of land called "India" which is so deeply split along all sorts of local identities of caste, region, family (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">gharana</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">biradiri</span>!), language etc is extremely vulnerable to the evil designs of any foreign power. It is trivial for foreign powers to take advantage of these local splits to infiltrate the society and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">create</span> their shelters within India. Wars at the borders of India are pointless when such a split society further made desperate by killing poverty has been hacked into by the terrorists.<br /><br />No wonder Al-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Qaeda's</span> recruitment advertisement tapes were found being circulated in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Bihar</span>.<br /><br /><br />And this issue of one particular identity of a person being hiked up is extremely generic to the way India works. "Those are Muslims. They are foreigners. They are terrorists" can be enough to raise many Hindus to kill Muslims in India irrespective of their profession whether she/he had another identity as a scientist or farmer or a clerk in a bank. Similarly many Christians in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">Orissa</span> can probably now be made to kill Hindus by properly <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">instigating</span> their religious identity and telling them that "These Hindus have burnt your churches and priests". Indians have become extremely vulnerable to let any one of her/his identities being used as a crank to turn her/him into an instrument of terror.<br /><br />At the end we have a completely divided India which is one nation only for a show and a cluster of provinces in reality with provincial heads working for personal gains. No wonder we still see politicians going to vote with their manifesto supporting a further split in India, the so called "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">Telengana</span>"! And these splits have over the years given birth to numerous guerrilla warfare <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">expert</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">POWs</span> (People War Groups), all of them fighting for local interests and indeed some of them have genuine reasons since various remote areas of India have always been <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">forgotten</span> by the government of India. <br /><br />Imagine the situation if all these <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">POWs</span> could be motivated by the foreign terrorist groups to join them against a common enemy the "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">government</span> in Delhi". It would be a severe collapse of the already fragile nation.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />As soon as <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">Mumbai</span> was attacked I could hear voices around me suddenly preaching 2 ideas:<br /><br />1. All Muslims be removed from India. It is impossible to live with them. They are anyway culturally so disjoint from us.<br /><br />{I would rather kill myself than see people like A.P.J Abdul <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">Kalam</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">Shabana</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">Azmi</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">Naseeruddin</span> Shah, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_38">Gulzar</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_39">Amjad</span> Ali and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_40">Zakeer</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_41">Hussain</span> thrown out of India because they are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_42">muslims</span>!}<br /><br />2. Let all Hindus assemble themselves into Hindu terror outfits which shall counter Muslim terrorism. Let the hard liners of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_43">Hinduism</span> motivate all Hindus in India to form such military organizations. Even one former MP seemed to preach such similar ideas in an article in the newspaper Indian Express.<br /><br />{I can't remember hearing more stupid ideas. Seems to me to be the perfect idea for Hindus to create a Frankenstein for themselves. I would like to put this very strongly that Hindu hard lined organization is NOT an answer to Muslim terror groups. It would be suicidal to say the least.}<br /><br />But obviously one can't deny that most terror outfits in India are Islamic groups and clearly claim religion to be one of their main motivating factors. It is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_44">definitely</span> necessary that the India government does a crackdown on all possible places and means through which such Islamic terrorist groups could be operating. Such an operation should definitely include all Mosques and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_45">Madrasas</span> which have at various times been used as bases for terror groups. And we every now and then hear that many <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_46">Madrasas</span> are being used by terror groups as their training centers.<br /><br />But now this would be extremely stupid if such a combing action gets interpreted by someone as an attack by Indian government against Muslims. One should be ready to look beyond every human emotion for the sake of national security. <br /><br />But welcome to India! I am sure that many in the government would immediately oppose such a combing action since they would be afraid to lose their Muslim vote bank! This nation built on the lines of cheap politics can never hope to fight terrorism.<br /><br /><br />And then we hear further weird propaganda being carried on by various Muslim clerics outside India and there have been reports in the news papers that there are secret pamphlets getting circulated in various mosques in the Middle East which seem to say that the even though Muslims ruled India for about 800 years (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_47">Mughal</span> Empire) it managed to convert only about 20% of India to Islam. What a shameful situation for Islam! They look at this as a great failure on the part of Islam and this is the time when this historic error needs to be corrected. Hence let us <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_48">spensor</span> terrorist groups and capture India and convert it to Islam. <br /><br />Wonderful! If ever one needs an example to skewed ways of thinking then this is it!<br /><br />And then from some of my friends in South India who are deeply religious about Hinduism I have heard statement like we should not count only the 200 years of British Rule as the only period of Indian history as being enslaved by a foreign power but we should count it has 1000 years including the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_49">Mughal</span> period. They were equally foreign powers having enslaved India.<br /><br /><br />With such <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_50">philosophies</span> doing rounds in India I find it impossible to think how this nation can ever fight terrorism!Anirbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00257290158956552196noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-21999257361228459952008-12-27T11:10:00.002+05:302008-12-27T11:26:08.321+05:30Too many cooks spoil the brothHi again. I am back with another article. This was also published by me some months ago, but again, the idea behind the article is still relevant now. Remember a few months ago when the UPA Government was almost on the verge of collapsing? There was a heated debate on the Indo-US nuclear deal and the Leftists ultimately withdrew support to the Government prompting the Samajwadi Party to renew contacts with the Congress. Well, this post is related to the happenings in the Indian Parliament at that time; so, refresh your memories a little. [:)]<br /><br />"<span style="font-family: times new roman;">I know the title of this post does sound a little childish, but that's how our Parliament is. I'm sure many of you saw proceedings of the trust vote in Parliament today. UPA did win finally, but not before a lot of hoopla about side-switching, back-stabbing and bribing on either side. In order to survive, the Government had to woo hitherto nationally unimportant leaders like Shibu Soren by promising him a berth in Union Cabinet. Ditto with some obscure MPs from the North-East who had to be offered fancy perks. The opposition, on the other hand, had to allegedly bow to Ajit Singh's demand of naming Lucknow airport after his father [he is the leader of RLD, a party with a paltry 3-4 MPs in Parliament]. There were also reports of many of the Samajwadi MPs being successfully poached by BSP. On the other hand, TRS said that they would vote for or against the nuclear deal depending on who amongst NDA and UPA will listen to their demand of a separate state of Telangana. So, a party is deciding its stance on an inter-nation agreement depending upon what happens to their state-level demand. There are lot more of such stories doing the rounds, and one cannot say all are completely false.<br /><br />I feel we're in such a mess because of existence of too many parties in India. Every time a crisis occurs, party bosses begin making groups. In the process, every party promises to support that group which will concede to it's demands. If the demands are not met, the party removes support and tries to break the group and form a new one. So essentially our democracy is about group-making, putting some idiotic regional/local issues as conditions for support, having endless negotiations and ultimately breaking up because after all, not everyone's demands can be met. When shall we get time to do constructive work after all this? Our democracy spends more time in making and breaking alliances and debating. Instead, if there were only 2 or a maximum of 3 parties [as a rule], wouldn't we be more productive? Look at USA's democratic model. In our country, if a leader like Raj Thackeray feels "hurt" or "neglected" in a regional party like Shiv Sena, he leaves the party and forms an even smaller outfit like MNS. And it is parties like these which have 2-3 MPs up there who become the deal-makers or breakers in crucial situations like the nuclear deal. The sad thing is that they do not take decisions based on what's good for the country, but on how much effective their actions will be for their local level petty politics.</span>"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-89681666630568142552008-12-19T23:11:00.003+05:302008-12-19T23:17:19.082+05:30A Friendly Rebuke of "A Lesson on American Politics"When reading the informative article posted by Pratish Gandhi, I noticed some discrepencies that, given my experience as an American, needed a little bit of tweaking.<br /><br />Article 1, when speaking of major parties..<br /><br />The two party system in America is a farce. There is one party, and it is a two headed snake called the Business party, which masquerades as the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. When push comes to shove, the vast majorities of Democrats and Republicans side with big business. Our two party system is so undemocratic that when Ralph Nader or Cynthia McKinney (Independent ticket and Green party tickets respectively) attempt to run for President, they are forced to sue some states just to get on the ballot. American campaigns are fueled by money. Third party candidates are forced to spend the majority of the paltry sums of money they are able to collect, (due to the Media's snubbing of them, as well as the all out war that the Democrats and Republicans constantly wage against them), on lawsuits. The goal of the lawsuits is to simply be allowed to have one's name on a ballot, the Democrats and Republicans have made it extremely difficult legally to run on a ticket other than RNC or DNC. And so I must say that there is plenty of favoritism, autocracy and dynastic politics in America. With a special note on dynastic politics, I should say that the introduction of Caroline Kennedy for appointment to Senator Hillary Clinton's soon to be vacated seat is preposterous. Never in her life has she demonstrated an interest in politics, and in fact she has displayed a disdain for them, if she wants the seat she should campaign for it and earn it in 2010. I should also note that a recent poll of New Yorkers has shown that Andrew Coumo has popular support over Kennedy, it would be a gross affront to constituents if she was put there simply because of her father's and uncle's legacy (though the differences in the Kennedy's domination of American politics are markedly less then the Nehru-Gandhi domination of Indian politics).<br />Article 4, of debates..<br /><br />The three level Presidential Debate system is a mediocrity. They ban all third party candidates from participating, (and I should add that Independence party candidate Ralph Nader was denied entrance even to watch the affair, in spite of the fact that he had an admission ticket, he was told by police that he would be arrested if he didn't vacate the premises), they are blocking off a whole segment of options to the American people. Third party candidates won't raise nearly enough money to compete in an election if they cannot even be seen with the more 'prominent' participants of an election whether they are Democrats or Republicans. There was no semblance of intelligence at most of the Presidential and especially the Vice Presidential debates this year. The candidates constantly lied, twisted facts, or dodged questions, most famously when Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin told Senator Biden, "I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear". While some of the candidates are very well read and are good debators, Barack Obama initially during the primaries (he owes Hillary Clinton quite a bit of thanks for steeling him during the debates), Sarah Palin and John McCain throughout the campaigns seemed very unlearned (since they were constantly dodging questions, or the answers they gave had nothing to do with the questions). And there is a significant chance of the wrong guy becoming President. Even after all that Bush has wrought upon the world and America, a huge segment of the population still supported John McCain who throughout the campaign differed very little from Bush. Lastly, I would add that the majority of Americans, in a recent poll, support participation of third party candidates in the Presidential Debates, but since the Debate Commission (which controls all of the large debates in America) is literally owned by the Democrats and Republicans and is a private institution, Democratic and Republican politicians go against the will of their constituents (as they so often do) and bar third party candidates from participation (and in the case of Ralph Nader as I previously mentioned, they wouldn't even allow him to sit in the audience).<br /><br />Article 5, of campaign contributions..<br />Not too much to say on this, I would just note that Sarah Palin spent nearly a quarter of a million dollars on hair, makeup, and clothing (for her and her whole family), which to this day all of which has still not been returned to the RNC. She was told by an aide to spend 20,000 dollars on clothing, so none of the RNC or McCain campaign donors, and not even the entirety of the McCain staff for that matter, was aware of her spending spree, quite a good use of campaign funds don't you think?<br /><br />Americans aren't stupid, they simply are lacking in the following: the option of electing a good candidate, the option of watching all participants in elections at debates, the will to change the system (as it would be a daunting endeavor), and the proper tool to remind elected officials (in years that they aren't worried about campaigns) who they work for.<br /><br />-Please forgive the numerous grammatical errors and run on sentences.<br />*Please don't hesitate to comment or ask for sources, I will do my best to produce them for you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-23781249064521825742008-12-19T16:37:00.010+05:302008-12-22T17:13:56.444+05:30Reform Our Electoral Process--Save Indian Democracy!Reform Our Electoral Process: Save Indian Democracy!<br /><br />Of many things that concern us as Indians today, the foremost one is the state of our political leadership. This was evident when hundreds of thousands of people across the country came out in streets to question the very basis of our democratic system—the political leadership of this country. Public outrage knew no bounds as banners like ‘We would prefer a dog visit our house than a politician’ made their way in street manifestations. It all makes us wonder what has gone wrong in this country, and what can be done to save it from anarchical rule. The root of the problem lies in our electoral process, which is in a desperate need of reform.<br /><br />Here is an eye-opening model that explains how our rulers are not true representatives of our people, thus rendering our democracy toothless and giving rise to problems like corruption and communalism. This calls for striking at the root of a flawed system.<br /><br />A hypothetical example of general election scenario in India can make the point clear:<br /><br />Suppose, there was 55% voting for a Lok Sabha seat (which is the usual average), also let us assume that four candidates contested from the constituency, thus dividing the vote-bank. Candidate A, with 18 votes is declared as a winner MP.<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281463844077578770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 261px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi136aOH545EA1VLCmUUKqEFjjxNgDX3JYsPDDEB1EJZAuzObAnAXPS4FyrLA1THEeK_-iFOcCzhMGdOjq4tQGviYxoDY2oc21MkDRtyTRgFeI1LhUDXTEC1DEwS53Z8rQNb3XJcCV-Ww/s400/Real+Representation.jpg" border="0" /><br />Explanations:<br /><br />· The winning candidate gets less than 20% support from the total voting population. In the case of a coalition government the ruling party comes to power with less than 15% support of total voting population.<br />· Nearly half the voting population does not cast its vote—out of sheer lethargy and hopelessness. One of the prime reasons being that many a times none of the candidates are found suitable for the post.<br />· The difference of votes between the winning candidate and the next best candidate is merely 5 to 10%.<br /><br />Implications:<br /><br />· Our elected political leaders cannot be held as true representatives of our people.<br />· People have begun to lose their faith in our democratic processes and the leadership that it produces. This is a dangerous trend for the survival of any democracy and needs to be reversed not through more promises but through result oriented action.<br />· The root of many Evils: While most of us people genuinely care for an honest, development oriented government, it is the manipulation of marginal 5-10% votes that can drastically swing election results. The manipulation comes in many forms: politics of division, communalism, violence, pressure tactics, buying votes, handing out liquor and other sops, bogus voting etc. Winning an election becomes a wealth and power game, giving rise to a spiral of corruption and mal-practices at all levels of the system. Candidates that cannot draw those decisive marginal votes through above mentioned illegal practices; stand little chance of winning an election.<br />· The above model proves that with less than 15 to 20% support from total voting population, a political party can hope to come to power / share power in a coalition form of government. Each party therefore strives to carve a ‘niche’ for itself in the voter’s market. The focus of our democratic system thus shifts to vote-bank politics, fragmenting our nation into narrow minded self-interests rather than developmental issues that ought to take center-stage in any election. <br />· The political equations force many of our well-meaning leaders and potential candidates to either opt out of the political system, or continue to take the ‘rogue’ route. In the long term, it serves nobody except the system itself.<br /><br />Solutions:<br /><br /> The people of India, including our political leadership, have become victims of a system that tends to reward corruption, divisive politics and ferocity. Therefore, we all need to unite together to reform the system itself. Proposed are a set of revolutionary changes in our electoral process that hold tremendous potential to give more meaning to our democracy.<br /><br />· Make voting compulsory to all above the age of 18. This is a fundamental duty of every citizen. Punitive measures such charging a fine or denying certain public privileges to those who do not vote without a genuine reason need to be enforced. This will make our democracy truly representative and participative one.<br />· With compulsory voting, comes the right to cast a negative/neutral vote i.e. the option to choose ‘none of the candidates’ as a deserving candidate to get elected. In case this option gets majority voting, all the contesting candidates shall be denied the right to run for the same post for at least next 5 years and there shall be a re-election. This will ensure that only quality candidates contest the election.<br />· It shall be made a pre-requisite for a candidate to win a minimum of 30% of total votes in order for him/her to get elected for the post, which will mean that candidates will contest the election on the basis of inclusive developmental issues, for the larger good. The divisive vote-bank politics will have no place in such a system. This becomes all very important to unite the people in a diverse country such as ours.<br /><br />A beginning can be made by enforcing these reforms in one state as a pilot project.<br /><br />Conclusion:<br /><br />Indian democracy, despite many of its flaws, has survived six decades of existence thanks to many of its innate strengths. It is time we leap ahead to build on these strengths and correct the existing flaws. Revolutionary legislation such as the Right to Information has proven how a systematic change can bring about a positive impact in our governance. It is very much possible in our lifetime to strengthen the system, if only we rise up collectively and make our voice heard. </p><p><br />Please: Contribute your views on <a href="http://www.reformourdemocracy.blogspot.com/">http://www.reformourdemocracy.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />To be sent to: The Election Commission of India and all concerned change-makers.<br /><br />--<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Vipul</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Shaha</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Baramati</span>, Business Graduate from Symbiosis International University, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Pune</span><br />vipulshaha@gmail.com</p>Vipul Shahahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16304336580858176863noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-8977561677377432072008-12-18T22:09:00.004+05:302008-12-18T22:23:17.360+05:30A lesson on American politics..I had published this post on my blog a few months ago, but I guess the content is absolutely valid on this forum. In it, I talk about the good aspects of the American democratic system, and what we should incorporate into our system. Of course, theirs is a different society, with different capacity and probably with slightly different ideals. But we can definitely learn from them and pick and choose what suits our system.<br /><br />"What can be called as a good election? As America votes on Nov. 4 to elect their new leader, in the midst of all the politically charged speeches, huge public rallies, glitzy TV ads and unprecedented patriotic fervor, I guess only an outsider like me will think of such a question. I have been following the the election proceedings for so many months now, and I have only praise for it. Polls repeatedly suggest that the Democrats are heading towards a massive win, but nobody can firmly say much. I don't want to get into who is better suited to win the election for two reasons - firstly, because it's hardly going to change my life in any direct way (!), and secondly, I am no political pundit to write about it! There are many capable men round the world who are doing this job right now!<br /><br />But I can definitely write about the positives of this election from a 3rd person's point of view. Here they are -<br />1) The way each major party (there are 2 to be precise, and I am a major advocate of this idea) chooses it's Presidential candidate is commendable. There are inter-party primaries in which candidates contest against each other and the winner is selected in a fully democratic fashion. This hardly leaves any room for favoritism, autocracy and "dynastic" politics.<br /><br />2) Most of the law-makers there are either Democrats, Republicans or Independents. However, they do not blindly follow the party diktat; if they disagree on some issue, they won't budge to oppose it openly. These actions are not overtly opportunistic either. Take for example Colin Powell's (Secy. Of State under George Bush Jr.) endorsement of Barack Obama as President; or Alan Greenspan's (who considers himself a "Libertarian Republican") (Chairman of the Fed. Reserve who served under George Bush Jr.) comments about Bill Clinton, a Democrat, being the best President he worked for. Ditto with Joe Lieberman, a Democrat who went to the RNC to endorse McCain in this election.<br /><br />3) The DNC (Democratic National Convention) and RNC (Republican National Convention) are very big events there, and are telecast on TV just the way a football match would be. What struck me most about these events was not just the grandeur or the candidates' fiery speeches, but the fact that these leaders make it a point to introduce their families to the public. They make sure the public knows what their family members do, big or small, and that they themselves are family-oriented candidates.<br /><br />4) The 3-level Presidential Debate system is a very good feature. Sponsored by the 'Commission of Presidential Debates', these debates are telecast on TV and watched by literally millions of people. The content of the debates is completely relevant to the pressing problems Americans face, rather than stupid personal accusations and political talk. Common people like us send their questions beforehand, and the best of them are posed to the candidates. This not only gives the people a clear idea of the contestants' experience and education, it also tells them what stand they are taking on various issues. The candidates also appear extremely well-read because of the way they present their points and give statistics to counter the opponent. Their views and utterances are scrutinized sometimes by the media to the point of ridiculousness. From the point of view of Americans, there is really very dim scope of the wrong guy becoming the right guy (George Bush is an exception, though!).<br /><br />5) Political parties have very effective ways of lapping up supporters and volunteers. Also worth noting is the open-ness of campaign funding. There is remarkable transparency about how much money has been collected, how it is being used, who all has contributed etc. By this, the people not only know who has advantage, but also how their donated money is being used. A snapshot of the campaign money different candidates managed to collect (From the NY Times)-<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwF1NU2JKdoSTssoWgHz8m7sSi4XZEe_KCpdDWGkkq-VkkvZjWwmC-0d3ugr8GfuwKH6dx_1D5aqh9wkq8eOTNz_pF7iP8Vup-7EFAUMbOGGlzShqkzAsPd7QgoHxS2vmU48Ec1OjgTfHa/s1600-h/obama+spending.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwF1NU2JKdoSTssoWgHz8m7sSi4XZEe_KCpdDWGkkq-VkkvZjWwmC-0d3ugr8GfuwKH6dx_1D5aqh9wkq8eOTNz_pF7iP8Vup-7EFAUMbOGGlzShqkzAsPd7QgoHxS2vmU48Ec1OjgTfHa/s320/obama+spending.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281172747468918370" border="0" /></a><br />The money is also used in a decent way. They spend it on<br />a) Hiring well qualified finance experts, foreign policy experts and election managers who tutor them.<br />b) Ads which are almost completely substance oriented<br />c) Creating highly informative websites for the people to make their decision (snapshot attached.

Eg: Axelrod's (Obama's campaign adviser) elaborate use of the Internet helped Obama to organize under-30 voters and build over 475,000 donors in 2007, most of whom were Internet donors contributing less than $100 each (source- Wiki). As a passing remark, it's worthy to mention that Barack Obama broke all previous records of campaign money collection.<br /><br />6) The poll ratings are pretty much correct, if not perfect.<br /><br />All this dispelled some misconceptions about the common American that I had. They are not fools as much as they appear to be. When it comes to the matters most important, they are very clinical and careful. As far as Presidency goes, after such exhausting campaigns in which they dissect each word and expression of yours, one may wonder if the winner is even left with the energy to run the 'mess' for 4 years. But history shows they do. It is a tough test, but that's precisely the reason why you come to be regarded as the most powerful person on the planet."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283629093397593562.post-61496414160144840622008-12-18T21:45:00.002+05:302008-12-18T22:07:27.203+05:30Welcome from Pratish..Hi all,<br />I am Pratish Gandhi, a native of Pune presently studying Maths and Comp. Science at CMI, Chennai. I won't spend much time introducing myself on this forum because this ain't a personal blog, but a blog with a mission.<br /><br />The articles here shall be serious,thought provoking (hopefully!) and will be aimed at exchanging ideas,views and in general, establishing a national consensus on issues related to our democracy. This entire exercise should generate an unstoppable momentum; a voice which will be the voice of the common people like you and me; something which would have to be taken note of by the political class of India. If you're very keen on knowing about me and my life, visit this personal blog of mine - http://pratishgandhi.blogspot.com.<br /><br />Now enough of my personal advertisement [;)]. Let's get started. I welcome you all to this forum. I request you all to actively contribute. At the same time, I also sincerely hope that people will respect each other's views and not get into accusations and personal taunts the way I get to see in the comments' section of popular websites like Youtube.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
