I fail to understand how these instances show that democracy is not alive? It is because democracy and freedom is alive that such people were allowed to do the things that they did. I see it more as a failure for the law being enforced than democracy being dead in our country.
Democracy is alive. It is just that it's terribly sick.
Take instances such as change of government ( Cong -> BJP -> Cong again ). The change of government in Kashmir in the recent times. It is because we have democracy and it is working that the governments change. People are allowed to voice their concerns.
Governments do not change because of our votes. The educated and sensible are too less to make an impact with their informed votes. Governments change because of their pre-poll tactics. Election campaigns decide which party rules.
Yes, I'm dead against censorship but nobodys stopping you from filing a PIL in court, right? :)
No. Go ahead, file a PIL against the Shivaji book's censorship. Wait for the information of your PIL to go to the newspapers and then run from the Sena. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar This document validates as Plain Text -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
