CAN WE REFINE THE DEMOCRACY?

Image
In Indian democracy, the people are nothing but mere voting machines. People have no role to play other than casting the vote once in every five years. What is prevailing in India is something like political monarchy. The political parties in power become unchallengeable. And that must be the reason for corruption become rampant here. Indian money is reported to have pumped out by the corrupt to other countries. All said and done, people have lost confidence in our political parties. However people still have trust in judiciary. It is suggested, therefore, that the judiciary may involve themselves to refine the democracy. If we take a close look at the legislative and executive functioning in different states, we can find shoddy and below average behaviour by the 'democratically' elected members. Even violent activities including destruction could be witnessed in the legislative assembly. What is suggested here is that, the most trusted part of the Indian Democracy,...

This photo does not confirm the reported attack with the nailed lathis  Media have extensively reported about the devil's cruelty shown on our young children who protested in large numbers on their educational matters. It was specifically highlighted that some extremely cruel politicians attacked the children with nailed lathis. They   attacked the children probably for dispersing them from there. They hit them on their heads with nailed lathis, it was reported. Since this brutal act is not done by the uniformed police officials, this cannot be expected to have committed as per the orders of the concerned government departments. Over and above everything it cannot be even imagined that such action is taken by a  government that represent 1.5 billion people. It is now the exclusive duty of the opposition political parties to enquire properly to find the one who ordered this inhumane and barbaric act against our own children, if it is a fact.

According to the past intelligence assessment, Tehran has the potential capabilities to produce nuclear weapons about a dozen in numbers.soon, but they have withdrawn from the efforts. However the US and some other countries believe that they can make the nuclear weapons in a short span of time. Iran's ballistic missiles and delivery capabilities also irritate many.
