I am writing this post with reference to my earlier - "The power of reference". Being an active observer, i get very much annoyed by the way the political parties project themselves and others. Everyone is ready to do anything for his/her motherland but i don't understand why he/she doesn't do it. The blame game has become a characteristic part of political structure. When everybody is doing everything and the other person is not doing anything for the people, the decision ultimately falls upon the people themselves. They will have to judge who the real match-winner for them is. I don't understand why people don't believe that they are the ones who make these people what they are. And obviously for this they will have to start inferring things (I have said this thing earlier as well). They must understand that a person who has never traveled by bus or rickshaw can never understand the plight of the people who experience difficulties. How can a person take "seriously" the issue of clean drinking water when he is getting the Bisleri water 24 hours? It is you who have to tell him and remind him, by not asking him, to do what he promised by showing the power you have as a citizen. I know it is quite provoking but these things are not thought upon by us because may be we are too busy in our lives or may be we don't have the potency to think that much. Sorry, if i sound too harsh. But this blame game has already done a lot of harm to us.

It was in 1600, that the infamous East India Company came to India. The company came to India only for one purpose: to indulge in trade and become profitable. Gradually they were in charge of the administration of the country and almost all the policies that they introduced or executed served only that purpose and they were quite successful as well. The country was in wretched condition because people were neglected. People could not stand that a person of foreign origin was ruling them in their own country and that too with utmost cruelty. It was the National Movements phase that started to invoke/provoke people to start inferring things and fight for their rights. In my opinion, the time has come again. Although, we are blessed that the people in charge of the government are much much better than the ones ruling the country in those days, we are capable of much more and deserve more. And by this, i don't mean that one party is good or bad. Every party is good unless it doesn't ignite communalism and fight to preserve the equality of an individual but we will have to push them to realize our goal. Priyanka Gandhi aptly said in one of the speeches that no political person or party is God. The person or the party exists because of the people who vote and encourage them. I truly back the statement.

I know, it is easier said than done but it is not impossible. I can see one benefit of this 'blame-game' that the parties indulge in - they make us aware time and again about the misdeeds of the others. Ultimately, we need to keep our eyes open and not get influenced by what lies infront of us. We need to be more objective.
