The governments in India have been repeateadly ignoring the plight of the citizens, whether its Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra or Gujarat. Each state is promoting state endorsed development packages targeted towards private corporates - Indian as well as MNC. In the effect loosing the prime land, settlement and forest areas. The uncontrolled mining activities promoted through the state initiatives have not only violated the environmental concerns but also displaced numerous people.
The spate of urban activities have increased and demand for the prime properties have triggered quick actions on the part of the local bodies to overthrow the current occupent by force. Right to shelter and livelihood is at stake in most of the metropolitan cities. Cities like Surat, on the verge of modernising the city have virtually kicked out the slum dwellers from the city areas. Yes they have been awarded for their effort in acheiving the 'Slum Free city' targets under the government of India scheme.
Ministers, and officials of state have been in the helm of affairs in getting their work done by any means, mixing land capturing, mining, and extortions with their politics. None of leading parties would come clean in the present circumstances. Then who says, the politics is neglected by the young India. What they are expected to do in present circumstances? Given the criminal behaviour of leading stalwarts of the states, with massive accumulation of money by the way of corruption would never lead India to greater heights.
The system has detoriated beyond repair when one of the leading party presidents, confuses sympathisers of poor and down trodden with supporters of Maoist (who are engaged in war with government). Do they want this to extend to the rest of country? The mind set of the governments as well as those in opposition are not condusive to the development objective of the nation.
We would never have the situation like what happened in emergence period in 1970s since most of our younger lots have been taken away from the politics of development. The tokenism of government succeded in bringing down the threat from the people. Intellectuals and professionals are dealing with government and opposition are not questioning the methods adopted in present Indian system.
Who would smell the rot? The CVC, Election Commission, Supreme Court, CAG, CBI, etc has been shown their path by the clever and intellegent politicians. They all know how to get out of these mess incase they get caught. Its the common citizens who are killed, maimed, terrorised and supressed in the present insensitive governance.
Only time would tell us, how do we go ahead? Till then...count your fingers...!!
