THE CURSE OF OUR COUNTRY IS EXCESSIVE POLITICS

Politics is only to be used as a pointer towards the governance of a country or a region by a group of people. It is supposed to be a socioeconomic ideology presented to the people. The group who holds this ideology becomes a political party. This ideology is to be used for the betterment of the people as a whole. Under no circumstances the concerned party can be deviated from this ideology. While what we say here are the basic concept of politics, what have relevance in our country are something different. As per the latest publication of Election Commission of India dated 23rd September 2021 the total number of parties registered in India was 2850 with 8 national parties, 54 state parties and 2797 unrecognised parties.

The ideal goal of governance is economic growth of the people under peaceful atmosphere. Nothing else should be mixed with this. Unfortunately, we in our country mix religion, cast, subcast, region, language etc as good ingredients in politics as well as the governance created by it. While the advanced countries are giving options for  the people to pick from the prime economic systems like  capitalism and socialism we Indians give least significance for any  system. As far as economy is concerned, Indian politics present no much difference in economic matters to the people. Political parties here only exploit gods, vengeance and hatred. About three thousands parties in India are engaged in fighting each other in speach, poster, notice and all such mode of communication methods. Economic growth of the people in peaceful atmosphere appears to be the last choice of our political parties. And that makes about one fourth of the population of our country poor.

As per available information about 287 million adults in India remain illiterates 75 years after independence shows the aimless ideology of most of our political parties. If the people of the country want to set right our political parties for the development of our country to the  forefront of the world, the public should leave whole time political activities. The people should remain united in eradicating corruption from this great country. We are now one of the most powerful nation in the world. Our GDP is growing fast. We are the  biggest manpower in the world. We have enough natural resources to become one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Unfortunately our political leaders do not know how to deploy the large manpower for large returns.

With everything we have to be on top of the world we give least attention wards our target, instead we are playing political games with another. People must come forward to end political games, fighting and killing in our country. Let us eradicate poverty for ever, provide high education for all and give opportunity for all people to work. Above all we should create a peaceful atmosphere all over the country. We should not forget the truth that considerable amount of our population are living in hundred or two hundred in the past. Our loudspeaker politicians become sympathetic to them only when they get the mike in their hands.
