Democracy is a form of government, wherein the people elect their representative. These elected representatives then elect their leader and provide governance to the people. Democracy is the best form of government if the elected people and those electing are sincere and honest in what they want and do. It is also called the government "OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE'.
But seeing the current political scenario, it looks both sides of the democracy, the ruled and the ruler are not sincere and honest. No one with certainity can say as who moved away from the path that should been followed. The path that we are following is a very dangerous and will turn our democracy into a joke and finally will come when we see a strong of aristrocracy in the name of democracy.
Almost all the regional parties, have become private companies, where the founding family calls all the shots in the party. Every party member right from the panchayat to the Parliamentarian has to prostrate infront of the founding family members. The power will be transferred by the head usually to the members of the same family and this can create some dissent but is accepted since it has been the trend for ages.
Regional parties apart, this trend has been quite visible in one national party The Congress. But this trend is not quite visible in the two other national parties the BJP, Communist party with all its variations. The aristrocracy is limited in these two parties, but much more than required in the Congress. The Son, Daughter, Son in Law, children of the daughter are all hailed by the party members. Looks like a scene where slaves praise their master for more bread and water.
Congress right from its inception and hijacking by the Gandhi, The Mahamatma Gandhi, has been following this High Command Culture. The culture where the entire decision making powers are with one person called, the High Command is good in times of crises, but bad for general working of a nation. Our nation has always been in some from crises be it attacks from outsiders or from insiders, but without a high command culture we have been successful.
The Gandhi is not the only person who is responsible for the Independence of India, he is solely responsible for the partition of this nation along with this slaves. Gandhi wanted to bring in equality, which appealed to the masses and thus began the vote bank politics. Through the life of Gandhi, the effort to appease the minority communities is very evident and the party that came to power after independence has just followed the tradition.
It is said, the Gandhi was become very adamant in his demands, and many believed that he became above any criticism and always wanted his decision to be followed. What sort of leader or father of nation would make his people dance to this tunes. One person comes close is the Hitler of Germany. The later has used violence, while the former has bled the nation's people and injured them. The extent of suffering that the people of this nation have undergone in the name of non-violence is very huge. Had the people of this country taken to violent methods the country would have celebrated 75th Republic Day in 2013, but high command never let the people do.
The assasination of Gandhi by Godse, has been a gift that the rightful owner of this nation have given to the Congress. The worried congress lot on how to continue without Gandhi their master who alone could draw crowds should have been very happy with Godse. The reasons why Godse killed Gandhi are recorded by the Indian courts and the data is never made public and never reached the masses. Godse says that he is pained at the utter disrespect of Gandhi for the majority community of India(Hindus) and his excessive minority appeasement and if allowed to live longe would lead many more new divisions taking place. This is not exact words, but my understanding of Godse told.
The Congress who were clueless about to go forward, go a short in their arm called secular-communal. From that they the Congresss has been living on this philosophy that RSS is the communal, Congress is secular meaning appeasers of the minority community. The powers shifted from Gandhi to Nehru who got his daughter married to a parsi(correction from muslim) to seal the deal. To keep the hindus happy that fellow got his surname named changed to Gandhi, thus the current brand Gandhi politics similar to the original Gandhi.
Gandhi never believed in democracy, has he believed and upheld, then Mr.Patel would have been the first PM of this beautiful nation. But the High command culture in Congress has overruled the peoples mandate and instilled Nehru as the PM of this nation. May be Gandhi would have told Nehru, this is the way power should work, keep the minorities happy, draw the crowds, talk about turth and non violence but never get hurt in the process. Enjoy all the furits of others labour and rule this nation for eons to come, there is no stopping. Be cautious with Hindus, and never allow them to realise their potential if they unite. As long as they are divided, You and your progeny can survive.
The children of the MK Gandhi didnot follow in his footsteps, probably due to thier disliking of his dictator style of functioning and are not as popular as the children of Nehru children. Grandson of Gandhi is in public domain. Thus I can say the High command culture has originated with MK Gandhi and only got transferred to Nehru and his clan who are upholding it as per the wishes of Gandhi. When Gandhi says he is inspired by Swami Vivekananda, RAja Harischandra, etc, I doubt. A carefull analysis would tell the hunger for control in the range of Hitler at best. But since is a revered saint in India, no wrong can be attributed to him, again a sign of false image built up on a hollow figure.
