The General elections are nearing and things are hotting up already! This time it is the Election commission and its autonomy which are at stake. I think the reasons why we still remain a democracy is the non-interference of defense forces in the political system, the independence of the Election process, unity in diversity in everything?!
We still have to shake off many of the practices followed during the British raj which have lost its relevance today. The leadership vacuum is always an issue. Dynasty politics is openly followed and people do not learn quickly that independence so hardly won by the martyrs of freedom struggle is being ravaged by brainless politics.
An election commissioner must have a iota of affiliation with any political organization which would make him partial in his functioning. The office needs highly responsible, patriotic, independent and bold administrator and not a pawn of any party. The boldness of Shri.T.N.Seshan, the intelligence of Dr.Abdul Kalam and the mastery of Shri.Kamaraj are the traits needed? Anyone has any thoughts on this? The political nitwits are driving people crazy with their short sighted, hair brained approaches which could cause serious damage to our democracy. Let our country Awake!
