'MaNile ThaKuR NamaNile KuKuR' - a say in Odia telling
'Believe it, then the God else a dog!' - says the inherent
strength of a belief. The institute of India democracy,
believed with utmost sanctity as an institute of functional
democracy, is caught in a belief-disbelief tangle so much that
aam Admi (commoner) to big-admi, all have an
obvious feel, telling what else can be expected of it now
(from monkeys holding Salagram - a kind of stone pebble
considered auspicious for Hindus) !
A recent book India's parliamentary democracy on trial,
by an erstwhile insider, the former Union
Home secretary Sri. Madhav Godbole tells the ailments of
these institutions. It's needless to say of
the law makers and the proceedings they enact in.
In-actions with right mix of wrong-actions by these actors
have made ample space for Annas and Babas to come to the
rescue of the beleaguered citizens of this great country, that
we claim again again to be sure we don't forget. Hopefully,
they will succeed at-least for the sake of goodness!
But, would the awakening (dictate?) that flows from Jantar Mantar and
RamaLila Maidan obviate the grand structures pushing them to oblivion?
The Great Indian soul must be watching with a lot of breathless anxiety! Will the soul whisper the mantra for sanity at the ears of who keep visit
for the sake of rituals round the year ? Let the goodness prevail............
Hrushikesha
another musing with a hope at gazing blue sky
dotted with floating clouds of hope at the end
of hot Hyerabadi summer!

Seems corruption rules the country!
Law makers are busy in counting and some enjoying badminton and morning work in Tihar. Enough they have amassed for sat-purush (seven generations!)
What else can be done when government fails to deal - for example dilly-dally on corruption and black money? See how did they bury Bofors and let Ottrovichi (Italian business man in bofors) to funnel out his money ..........
Quite interesting analysis. I agree with you. Failure of our political parties has given space to Anna ji and Baba Ramdev; therefore I at least do not feel embarrassed about this situation. We notice that the civil society (whatever it means) is gathering around them because they find no other alternative. Ever since my thities if not before I have been hearing about black money in Swiss banks, somebody or the other saying this money must be brought back, etc.
But Ramdeb saying bring it tomorrow is a non-proposition
