The biggest paradox in a democracy like India is that our politicians tend to rule the people who bring them to power.. and in more ways than one, resort to the acts of robbing people of their many democratic rights though the pressure of power. Wonder how once seated at the throne of certain authority, our politicians start to look like those old 'stone' grinders that were known to crush the hands of their operators - in politicians' case, it's their damn 'creators', we, who get crushed. Why? You know, then the fearful, handicapped 'people' won't go to make another 'grinder' of its kind!
Stone grinders don't think, but our politicians do because they have something called brain to make use of. And they do use their brain to fool us, to crush us!
But, alas, what the heck does a grinder do when there's no one to run it?! Yes, so you may say, there is no dearth of 'hands' in a big country like India - given such a extravagantly populous we are! There will always be some followers and profit mongers who would keep running the wheel for our politicians - the crushers - the the grinders of our faith in democracy! Can't we just once decide to stop letting them reach the seat of power? Can't we all once join our hands together to pull down all those unscrupulous individuals pretending to be our servants and fooling us on their continuous ascendency to higher powers? I don't mean to highlight any particular party or individual. For i know that we hardly have any better alternative to compare.
But then, these robbers in the hides of our political representatives are on the rise ...and we have wasted too much of time already! Let's put an end to it all. Let's stop being crushed!
