But we revel in chaos,get joy in prolixity, a actually do not focus on the result. We need roads with potholes to trigger us to let out a steam. <BR/><BR/>Either we, the electorate, have made up our mind to reside in the chaotic realm or as spiritually inclined people looking at something beyond material prosperity.<BR/><BR/>Our political leadership has understood this so distinctly that they provide us what we deserve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14198126.post-23962644831880040332008-07-28T18:52:00.000+05:302008-07-28T18:52:00.000+05:30This is one of the most sensible articles I've rea...This is one of the most sensible articles I've read about Indian politics and governance in years. Indeed, why are we hung up on religion, quotas and other nonsense when the common man just wants drinking water, a decent place to live and some fresh air to breathe? Beats me.<BR/><BR/>But I must say, the article has a trace of an unhealthy admiration of the western democracies. Having stayed in the West for nearly a decade now, the decay of democracy, the bias of the media and the apathy of the public is just appalling. Having seen the ugly side of pure corporate interests driving everything and the good of the public being reduced to a transparent veneer, I am still glad the Indian media at least is still doing its job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
