Just jotting down my thoughts on Indian politics and politicians. I had an idea of tweeting this but thought blog would be better in case i want to add few other things in the process.I read this column of Shashi Tharoor a few years back on Indian Politician and criteria for Indians in selecting their leader.
The expectations of an Americans for their leader are as such:
'He/She should be having a clean record, should be loyal to his family(mean not divorced/have any extra marital affairs even though most of the americans have),Should be competent enough for his/her role'.
Coming to the criteris of Indians:
'He/She should be famous/atleast be in NEWS all the time,Should have been to jail atleast once, Should be caught in a scandal/scam , Should be competent enough at abusing other party leaders and important of all he/she should be CORRUPTED'.
Sad, but that is what works here. Alot has been already told and filmised about an Indian Poltician, but I dont blame them for the trickles. I hope the society realises the fact that its up on us to elect clean and clever politicians.
As I said at the beginning Politics is a never ending topic especially in India. Have to say any furthur, you are are welcome to do it through comments.
