ABSTRACT ON THE EDITORIAL PUBLISHED IN THE SUNDAY INDIAN WEEKLY PUBLISHED FROM NEW DELHI AUTHOR PROF. ARINDAM CHAUDHURI EDITOR
IN CHIEF( www.thesundayindian.com )
Your editorial, "To make India Democratic & Politics de-criminalised, allow election voting through SMS….(
TSI 11th 2007) is indeed a great thought. An excellent idea, if implemented in its real sense, there is no doubt that, there will be a new dawn in the so called Indian democracy. The word democracy will definitely obtain its real meaning in Indian politics. But, who will bell the cat is the big
question remains. Will our so called
political leaders agree to this great thought is yet another question before us. There is not doubt that even if there are hundreds or more Rahul Gandhis' enter into the political arena with clean mind and good intention, their surrounding system will either spoil them or will not allow them to act with a clean hand and a pure heart. How sad it is that our present political system is rooted in corruption, violation of law, and muscle power. As you said, due to this a major number abstain from voting. If the said system introduced fully and implemented in its full sense there will be a tremendous change in Indian democracy. Thanks a lot for the wonderful thinking cap.
