Dr Eugene D’Souza, Mumbai The recent terrorist attack on the prime targets in Mumbai and the death of scores of innocent people has transformed the citizens of Mumbai in particular and the entire nation in general into ‘angry citizens’ braying for the blood of the politicians. At no stage in the history of independent India that the ire and contempt of the people against the political class across the board had been so vocal and shrill as has been witnessed especially in Mumbai during the past few days. As against the popular belligerent mood of the people, the politicians have practically gone underground, except few faces with fluency in language and sound in argument on the TV. The rest of the tribe has gone into hibernation, waiting for the anger of the people to douse, so that they can reemerge and take the nation for a ride once again during the next general elections. The question which is foremost in the minds of the people is- Can we do away with the politicians? Some even suggest that there should be a benevolent dictator to solve the problems faced by the nation. Still others feel that technocrats and experts in different fields can run the administration. The answer for the above question is, No. We cannot do away with the politicians, but certainly we can do away with the politicians with criminal background, corrupt and inefficient, and bring in those persons into politics who are known for their integrity, honesty, sincerity and social service. It is like blood transfusion by which the deceased blood can be replaced by healthy blood and rejuvenate the person, so the political body. full article :- http://www.daijiworld.com/chan/exclusive_arch.asp?ex_id=997 _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
