India Shining - Is it really shining?

Democracy in our country is becoming more of a lip service. As long as you keep quiet and work hard, pay the taxes whatever and whenever Govt demands for its needs and expenses without any accountability, ask for no returns in the form of infrastructure, healthcare and education, we are the largest democracy of the World. The minute common man raises his voice for anything as above, our country becomes one of the most autocratic and cruel form of governance in the world.

Govt is hell-bent to prove itself spineless and biased. Take this instance - Just after a fortnight of Yoga Guru Ramdev drama against corruption, Govt. is all set out to probe all the deals of his companies and Yoga centres, transactions and companies of the said baba. Remember, it’s the same baba for which five of the senior most cabinet ministers were laying out red carpet at the airport before his fast against corruption to begin, to pacify him. Also, please recall that it took the same Govt. few months to reach Mr. Suresh Kalmadi whose misdeeds along with his team were wide galore in front of everyone. Also, we were yet to see any substantiated progress on Adarsh scam, where many of the case related files have gone missing. Why the same urgency and promptness not shown in other cases?
.
While we have hundreds and thousands of cases of suspicious conducts and misdeeds at high places (CBI has 300 cases pending for approval for prosecution of babus), any common citizen raising his voice against the Govt for any legitimate fight has to go though these arm twisting tactics of Govt. What Govt. is doing now is just vindication of Govt. being autocratic and biased and in no way builds any confidence with the voters.
The fate of Lokpal bill is just obvious to anyone. While the common man found Anna as a crusader for fighting for his cause, Govt has tactfully killed the whole idea of a strong Lokpal. With its tactics of split and divide, no prizes for guessing what we would have as Lokpal if at all the bill gets passed in both the houses of the Parliament.

Most of the citizens in this country are hurt and are again turning back to the same belief that nothing can work out in this country without palm greasing and bribes. Remember that 90% of our GDP is from service sector and services provided by the FDIs. Our agriculture and industry is still limping as they were a decade ago.
.
Politicians, a handful of them again are set to defer a revolution, a chance to turn India out of the mess of corruption in next few decades but it seems like we the people, as usual, will lose out this time as well.
