That's how I feel!.....

When a large section of the Parliament was trying to voice a consensus

paving way to end an historic impasse, there were some who were busy mulling
over the 'physical strength of Anna' (how Anna claims after 12 days' fast to
run 3 km) and flamboyantly telling the nation how they are well versed with
the art of 'defaming and insulting people' (pagdi uchhalana) more than the
team Anna could do. It is in a way pointing at gullibility of those dumb

voters who have successively been deceived to elect them as their

representatives. For them it was still a caste war of medieval ages where
all movements intended to extract largess for the 'haves' with no

participation from 'have nots'. Unfortunate!... Ironical!...that they were

joined by some swollen head elites too who consider their right to rule is
by 'divine sanction'. Servility, no wonder, makes intellect numb; for, it
only thrives on the spirit of convoluted rationality which makes virtue out
of decrepit selfishness.

I wonder, and so do my countrymen, when would we have a mature leadership
which acts as a solid bridge between the 'People' (Praja) and 'System'
(Tantra) - the two essential component of 'Democracy' (Demos & Kratos) which
is different than 'Demarchy' which presupposes 'rule' as a right rather than
'power' by consensus.

Long Live Ahimsa! Long live our Democratic Spirit! And, Long Live India that
is Bharat & Hindustan both!
