ANNA forces a compromise

The entire episode of Anna and his struggle to bring about the issue of corruption center stage has brought about some key take-aways.

1. The youth and the middle class population of India have become politically aware and they should shed their cynicism and VOTE in the next election.

2. We should not be carried away by tokenism of the politicians: like spending a night at a villager's house (after installing generator, western toilet and filling his house with mineral water)

3. We should stop electing people who are known land grabbers and are in cahoots with builders, contractors and other people who deal with businessmen who sell their wares mostly without receipts and thus steal on sales tax, income tax and other taxes.

most black money results from evasion of taxes. if taxes are paid truthfully and correctly then the question of generating black money does not arise at all.

4. We should stop talking about CASTE in this country.

WE ARE ALL INDIANS FIRST AND INDIANS LAST. ELECT A GENUINE REPRESENTATIVE NOT FROM YOUR CASTE AND THEN SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

ELECT A REPRESENTATIVE WHO SPEND LEAST MONEY ON CAMPAIGNING.

STOP ELECTING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY BELONG TO A FAMILY

ELECT PEOPLE FOR THEIR WORTH NOT BECAUSE THEY BELONG TO A FAMILY

That's all for today

I know this post is going to elicit a lot of comments. all comments are welcome.

Religion and caste have been the most powerful tools that politicians have always used to garner their votes in our country.prevention of corruption and economic development should be the issues on which future elections should be contested in our country.Great to read your articles after such a long time Anil sir !!
