Largest and a Powerful DEMOCRACY!

The news has already rocked across nations and by now it seems all the fun & excitement is almost over regarding celebrations and time of action has begun. Our media guys are once again back to look for news in our own country. I so like to share on this.

All right, so Mr. Barack Obama, congratulations…for being the new President-elect of United States of America.

The US elections were interesting right from the time it started for obvious reasons. Firstly, Mr. Obama proved his victory by putting a stop to the ongoing rule of Bush-Clinton-Bush dynasty. And secondly by snatching the crown of ‘Mr. President’ from the jaws of Mr. McCain.


What all I could follow and therefore understand is that he came out a winner as an American solely and not as a representative of some “community” which I think is a hard thing to expect here in India that someone would come up courageously without being associated to some group to save his ***. We all are aware of the state of affairs here, citing an example of Mulayam-Mayawati promised promises towards their respective communities Or Congress supporting Muslims and BJP supporting Hindus stories, and if one can take out sometime to listen Mr. Thackeray’s speech made in favor of Maharastrians..what fun! The list is long…

NO, I am not bitching about anyone or supporting/disrespecting any political leader or their parties or maybe doubting their agendas. Just that, I want my country to break away the chain of having orthodox mentalities in which it is trapped which keep passing to its progeny unchecked and God alone knows how long it may go unless there is some CHANGE! Change of the sort like in America. I am just no one to bicker about it but I am just comparing the situations on the opposite sides of the globe. We have here those oldies(in the top positions) who rarely interacts with media and their left job is done by not-so-important politicians who just know how to throw mikes upon their rivals in the parliament house or know how and when to change ‘costumes’ when perhaps, they were supposed to take strong actions against terrorists.

We are progressing, yeah, if we look our graph of success. we are making missiles, launching chandrayans, winning gold’s and lot more at national and international level but the old problems keeps on persisting. Whether its about Kashmir(which is like a Gordian knot to solve), Naxals, women safety,dowry,corruption……………..because we don’t want to eradicate the problem by taking immediate steps that’s why I like America for standing up immediately if challenged by a problem.


I read it somewhere, that Obama stood up in Chicago and declared “if there is anybody out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible…today is your answer”

I just seek this much of confidence in our leaders to dare speak like this some day!

you are very right...
America got rid of Clinton-Bush dynasty rule but here in India we are still very much obsessed with Nehru-Gandhi dynasty.
Yes buddy Obama clinched his victory by saying...'change we can'.
Here the politics is caste based, religion based and region based. And this is perennial problem. My own grandparents,in 1947 had to move out of their home Bangladesh, the then Pakistan because they were Hindus.

Now-a-days our netas have discovered region-based chauvanism.
I will like to narrate a story here. When Iranians first reached India the king show the a glass full of milk and told them his kingdom is full like the milk glass, and asked how will they fit?
To this they took teaspoon of sugar,mixed in milk and said " just like this".
Now we owe much of our National progress to Iranians ( TATA, Godrej and many more ).

hey buddy ur thoughtprocess is commendable but unfortunately its hard to find such magic taking place in our country....
1- when a aspiring leader has taken full fleged bath in the tank full of corruption, nuisance, slangs,man handling, loose talk, bickering den he or she becomes qualified enough to be promotedfrom a party worker to the party candidate in elections
2-if at all some leaders waana work den one simply becomes a puppet dancing to the tunes of idiots who have tried their level best to form a coalition govt
3- now comes WE THE PEOPLE who takes election day as a holiday ..and then hardly miss any chancein chiding the govt as if dere were SOME JADOOS CAME FROM MARS and gave this election mandate...
and the outcome of this hardwork, determination is in front of us...
as it goes..........
