India – Indictment of Politics in Corruption Scandals

India – Indictment of Politics in Corruption Scandals

Padmini Arhant

There is hardly ever a corruption scandal in India that does not involve or implicate high level political authorities at the helm such as the Prime Minister and/or leader of national or state political party.

The corruption culture is so pervasive that has conditioned the nation to accept status quo as fact of life with corruption ruling the political as well as economic system. The irony is the high- profile entities entrenched in corrupt dealings directly or indirectly are invariably beneficiaries either politically or monetarily by association or relationship respectively to those under investigation and public probe.

Though, the political factions are at loggerheads in accusations against each other on corruption charges, they somehow overlook the similarity in this regard i.e. they are formidable competitors in emerging as equally if not extremely corrupt raking fortune using political status and privileged members of a political family or dynasty.

In the current election season, the media and press cheering for incumbent Narendra Modi representing BJP on one side and the familiar campaigner turned contestant for Congress Priyanka Vadra on the other side with both of them sharing fair political baggage on corruption arguably premised on convincing electorate to choose between the rock and the hard place denying voters discernment regardless of hype and hysteria on campaign ground.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi empathy for friend, ally and campaign donor Anil Ambani heading the sinking business empire obviously led to controversial defense deals viz. Rafale and yet another fiasco in Indian Naval contracts as revealed in the featured videos below.

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi exhibiting apparent patriotism and flair for different costumes especially ostentatious head gears and garb reminding audience of his penchant for fancy dress during visit to states nationwide, PM Narendra Modi’s actions in Rafale, demonetization, GST, slighting unemployed youth with the suggestion to fry pakoras (Indian savory or snack), chasing distressed farmers using brute force and water cannons and other disappointing details are anything but patriotic.

Congress at the other end of the stick in electoral choice with plans to join all opposition coalition against Narendra Modi are touting siblings Rahul and Priyanka to unseat RSS backed BJP government. Again, Rahul Gandhi along with his mother Sonia Gandhi out on bail on National Herald case in the forefront demanding probe against his rival Narendra Modi on Rafale deal is rather audacity on display.

In launching Priyanka Vadra – Rahul’s sister and spouse of Robert Vadra battling widely known land acquisitions inquiries, the electorate is expected to accept Priyanka as novelty besides misrepresentation as Holier than thou which in any sense is massive deception and duplicity. 

Unfortunately, the trend conforming to deep state orchestrated ominous tactic producing proxies as legitimate entity combined with unauthorized illegal projections is gross violation of public trust not to mention adverse repercussions following such pursuits already experienced by some on that trail.

Priyanka Vadra’s defiance to recent developments on Enforcement Directorate interrogation of her spouse Robert Vadra as politically motivated election drama is an anticipated response.

Nonetheless, Priyanka Vadra confirming her strong support to her other half also revealed the reality as equal partner in crimes committed by Vadras since the phenomenal gains from diverse land and real estate endeavors of Robert Vadra shared among Vadra household members with Priyanka Vadra as next of kin to benefit the most could neither be denied nor omitted from her personal profile.

Indian electorate awareness on political affairs and daily explosive corruption eruption having impact on economic progress necessitate due diligence in casting vote to any contenders and political party anywhere in the country. As such, the contestants with criminal records vying for state and national legislative positions including government bureaucrats responsible for internal turmoil in institutions like RBI, CBI and ECI at top cadre behest witnessed in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration explains political establishment nature.

India – Democracy Under Siege

India – Democracy Under Siege

Padmini Arhant

India referred to as the world’s largest democracy is a myth with political system regardless of political parties coming to power have systematically exploited ordinary citizens in different segments using caste, religion and social economic background to assume and resume authority. In the course, they have depleted national treasury, scuttled social fabric that is representative of India as secular, plural and tolerant society. They continue to undermine basic rights with extreme measures using brute force to curb peaceful protests on anti-corruption, environment pollution, human rights violations against Indian citizens categorized as Dalits or backward caste, scheduled caste and tribes, Muslims and other marginalized demography in different states of the country.

The latest political fiasco involving CBI and West Bengal’s Kolkata police chief on chit fund scheme called Saradha scam leading to West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s dharna i.e. protest evolving into Mamata vs. Modi drama is election stunt on either side to demonstrate each other’s vows to constitution and anti-corruption respectively.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has lot of explaining to do to the nation on various issues beginning with demonetization debacle that claimed many ordinary lives, farmers distress that exacerbated agrarian crisis resulting in more farmers suicide than earlier, the controversial Rafale deal favoring PM Narendra Modi’s key campaign donor Anil Ambani and his failed business, crackdown on different institutions from RBI, CBI to SCI  i.e. the Supreme Court of India hamstrung on issues such as Rafale and earlier vindication on widely known Godhra violence to name a few.

Those in power in New Delhi abusing CBI to protect their own members, political donors and business partners are routine regardless of whoever is in control in New Delhi. Similarly, them using CBI to settle political scores in the name of corruption investigation is also the tradition.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi expulsion of former CBI director Alok Verma to shield PM Modi’s critical ally and business interests that were on CBI radar cannot be ruled out in desperate actions from the incumbent administration.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s hardline policy and intolerance were demonstrated during undemocratic arrests of environmentalists and human rights activists on false allegations denying them due process while defending and ensuring acquittal of RSS / BJP members actually behind and implicated in Bhima Koregaon violence in Pune besides mob lynching under the guise of Gai Raksha or cow protection wreaks communal divide and unnecessary tension in society.

Despite explosive tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his close coordinator and confidante Amit Shah in the past five years, PM Narendra Modi persona portrayed to the contrary to mislead and misguide electorate is an insult to human intelligence.

Democracy may be subjugated but cannot be permanently suppressed as the strategy inevitably implodes within political faction. The reaction is evident in the present political environment and severely damaged system with those responsible for law and order as lawmakers exemplifying lawlessness in the worst form and demeanor endanger democracy and sanctity of the constitution.

All the more reason to introduce a capable and reliable national political party to address myriad complexities that persists in India. The details in that regard to be presented in due course. The step by step instructions for disenchanted and violated Indian electorate willing to come forward pledging support with active participation to challenge status quo will be provided to lead the nation towards sensible and viable direction.

Thank you.

Indian Election 2019

Padmini Arhant

 

Politics governed by corruption, cronyism and
criminality is unsustainable. Change comes
only upon determination among those affected
rise to the occasion to be part of the process
initiating alternative. Indian politics controlled
by internal and external diktat and ideology has
long subjugated the overwhelming majority
struggling to make ends meet under the guise
of independence.
The entertainment industry deployed to distract
public attention from problems and real issues
play a pivotal role in exacerbating citizens
suffering in society while making a fortune
on such complicity.
Mass consciousness on this devious failed
agenda aimed at mind control using celluloid
fallacious presentations is critical to free the
nation from corruption, nepotism and
perennial duplicity.

Debunking GOOGLE Myth

Debunking GOOGLE Myth

Padmini Arhant

 

Alphabet Inc. – GOOGLE’s parent company.

As one of many key representatives of sinister secret society, Alphabet Inc. subsidiary GOOGLE is not necessarily the authentic source and only mine of information pertaining to all topics and species on earth.

Knowledge existed since dawn of life and creation of Universe prior to current information age.

GOOGLE Search engine collate and organize data applying algorithm conforming to computer programming designed to follow code of instructions. This is not taken or adopted from GOOGLE search.  It is my personal view and understanding of the mechanism.

The information available upon google search from diverse sources is not the ultimate authority on any particular or other subject matter. Though the trend has been established on such perception that all existing knowledge is derived from GOOGLE barring individual capability and intellectual ability to provide solution to problems and opinions in the alternative mode i.e. thinking outside the box creative talent.

Keeping in mind, the various details and figures emerging from GOOGLE are myriad contributions from anywhere and everywhere, the database merely functions as convenient reference guide but that in itself do not satisfy the requirement to deal with challenges and crisis.

Such ignorance in the contemporary age inhibits human thought process to evolve and exemplify on individual basis without relying entirely on search engine stored cache.

Any genuine, unique or novel idea and perspectives are mistakenly presumed GOOGLE originated theory as there are still significant population in the world without access to computers and modern technology existing by using own intelligence.

GOOGLE is not the be all end all wellspring in knowledge sphere.

Acknowledgment of facts and reality denied due recognition is an impediment in collective human progress.

Thank you.

Nobel Peace Prize Impact 

January 30, 2019

Nobel Peace Prize Impact 

Padmini Arhant

How a mistaken peace prize was misused to commit horrific crimes against humanity?

The 44th President of the United States President Barack Obama tenure was rife with terrorism, deaths, catastrophe and devastation breaking the record of his predecessor ex-President George W.Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, who together championed the illegal invasion and occupation of foreign lands using 9/11 initiating the ill-fated Project for New American Century (PNAC).

The successor Barack Obama escalated violence and bloodshed multifold in the militarization of Africa, destabilization of Middle East and Latin America as justification of the Nobel Peace Prize. He was coronated the drone King not without reason for his predator drones chasing and killing children, women and men in humble dwellings of Afghanistan and many developing nations in Africa and Latin America. Not to mention economic sanctions against nations regarded adversary to hegemonic interests in the Middle East, South East Asia, Latin America and Africa.

The Office of Presidency and similar post like Prime Ministership is often taken for granted by occupants in the White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington D.C. 20500 and other capitals around the world pledged allegiance to deep state global agenda. The fact that electorate, the ordinary citizens mandate is abused against them is a tragedy in politics.

The following segment is from the international press release.

Nobel Secretary: Awarding Obama the Peace Prize Was a Mistake

A press release at the time announced that Obama had earned the award based on “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” though he had only been in the White House mere weeks when he was nominated. The committee awarded the prize to Obama based entirely on his media popularity, not based on anything he actually did.

Lundestad, aside from admitting that the stunt had proven a failure, revealed the reason behind it wasn’t exactly in keeping with the credibility of the panel or the award, once a symbol of excellence.

The former secretary told the Associated Press that “the committee hoped the award would strengthen Mr. Obama.”

Understanding nearly a decade later that strengthening an American president wasn’t exactly in the committee’s job description, Lundestad voiced some regret.

“No Nobel Peace Prize ever elicited more attention than the 2009 prize to Barack Obama,” Lundestad writes in his memoir.

“Even many of Obama’s supporters believed that the prize was a mistake,” he adds. “In that sense, the committee didn’t achieve what it had hoped for.”

Obama expanded and continued war and tensions across the globe

While it’s good to hear Lundestad admit the Obama Peace Prize was a mistake, it isn’t simply because the committee wasn’t able to strengthen his presidency that made it so.

The real reason is that they awarded a prize for peace to a man who had no diplomatic achievements, would allow terrorism to flourish throughout the Middle East, and who would become the longest wartime president in history, expanding war into several countries like Libya and Syria.

The committee at the time wrote, “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future.”

That ‘better future’ didn’t quite pan out. A report in November of 2015 indicated that terrorism-related deaths had more than quadrupled since Obama took office, actually peaking in 2014.

America, Rolling Stone reported, had been at war under Obama “longer than under George W. Bush — or any other U.S. president, for that matter,” and that over 2,500 Americans had died in Afghanistan and Iraq by May of 2016.

Peace wasn’t exactly Obama’s strength.

The failed former president is no longer pictured in the section titled “Featured laureates” on the Nobel website, reserved for such individuals as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mother Teresa.

Venezuela – United States and Europe Intervention to Topple Democratic Maduro Government

Venezuela – United States and Europe Intervention to Topple Democratic Maduro Government

Padmini Arhant

The recent developments involving United States democrat lawmakers and White house efforts to unseat Venezuela’s democratically elected government of President Nicolas Maduro is condemnable with serious repercussions for those behind the coup.

United States and EU intrusion in the removal of then Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and the entire cabinet at gun point replacing then democratically elected government with Neo-Nazi regime resulted in tumult and unprecedented chaos that also led to Crimea in Eastern Ukraine become part of the Russian Federation in 2014 besides triggering Russian troops deployment in eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine democracy demolition was steered by both republican members viz. then Senator John McCain to democrats held State Department under former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the likes of Victoria Nuland playing prominent role in the decimation of a sovereign state in 2014.

Similar operation underway in Caracas, Venezuela by United States lawmakers in bipartisanship with democrats in the forefront in instigating protest to oust democratic leadership of President Nicolas Maduro is devious confirming deep state representatives in United States government obliging marching orders to create turmoil in the South American nation.

Furthermore, the foreign interventionists i.e. United States and Europe favored opposition leader Juan Guaido declared the so-called acting President violating the core democratic principles and sovereignty of a nation by U.S. democrats and President Donald Trump pose many legitimate questions on the joint operation that could somehow not meet eye to eye on United States citizens affairs forcing the longest government shut down that ended two days ago.

Again, the government shut down costing United States tax payers in billions and nearly million government workers still deprived of back pay and salary due to them apparently is not a priority for the White House and Congress preoccupied in determining –

Who rules the foreign sovereign nation Venezuela?

These activities clearly indicative of United States political apparatus in lockstep with deep state agenda in destabilizing foreign nations and regions transforming democracy into oligarchy run state targeting Venezuela’s natural resources, the crude oil reserves in particular showing little or no concern for adverse consequences from such wanton engagement.

Creating turmoil and disorder like in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Honduras, Paraguay and Ukraine to name a few these members in United States government are not only committing treason but also squandering U.S. taxpayers’ funds promoting undemocratic political unrest in Venezuela to install puppet regime in that part of the world.

The democrat Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz leading the coup in Venezuela is least surprising. The Florida Congresswoman having caused considerable damage to the party at home in subverting democracy during democrats’ Presidential primary in 2016 to boost then Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s chances in winning nomination suffered setback at personal level in losing democratic party chairwoman status. The scandal also produced unsolved mystery behind the murder of democrat party worker, 26-years-old Seth Rich, the supporter of Bernie Sanders then Hillary Clinton’s democrat rival in the race.

Yet another democrat from Florida, Donna Shalala providing more political ammunition in the coup explains the extent of corruption within United States political establishment.

President Donald Trump mission in Venezuela for regime change following suit from both democrat and republican predecessors in this regard is self-destructive course that would not yield the desired outcome.

Venezuela is a sovereign nation and President Nicolas Maduro is democratically elected legitimate leader of the country. The electorate in Venezuela are the only ones with exclusive rights to decide any change in government through ballot box not via foreign bullets and unscrupulous tactics employed to achieve undemocratic goals predominantly premised on economic interests.

Last but not the least, United States administration and Congress dealings in Venezuela and elsewhere for vested aspirations highlights hypocrisy ad nauseam while crying foul in the false claims on the alleged Russian sabotage of United States Presidential election in 2016 prompting never ending Russia probe since 2016 and conducted up until now at ordinary taxpayers’ expense.

What’s good for the goose isn’t necessarily good for the gander according to these entities hailing Bible teaching in classrooms while disregarding morals and ethics demonstrated in the current Venezuelan coup d’état in the name of democracy.

United States – Reopening Government

United States – Reopening Government 

Padmini Arhant

I welcome the good news on the decision to reopen government that would provide much required relief to more than 800,000 workers affected from the longest shut down notwithstanding the resumption of critical services at the airports and federal facilities nationwide.

President Donald Trump accepting the short term deal with no wall funding is a good gesture as talks are expected to continue over border security issue. The Presidential order authorizing immediate back pay and salary due to employees is indeed a necessary step in the process. 

Meanwhile, the leaderships in Congress i.e. the Senate and House consensus is equally appreciative. 

Hopefully the administration and Congress will resolve their differences in arriving at decision on border discussions, DACA related to immigrants and other crucial matter concerning the citizens and nation. 

Thank you.

United States – Government Shutdown

January 24, 2019

The ongoing impasse on reopening of government taking toll on airport security and aviation safety with passengers stranded in airports in the northeast and other parts of the country are extreme conditions. These effects will be a culminating factor for inevitable voter backlash in 2020. The responsible authorities in the current deliberations heeding to national urgency and resuming government functions would signify commitment to electorate and the nation at large.

—————————————————————————

United States – Government Shutdown 

Padmini Arhant

United States heads of government in the executive and legislative branch perhaps forgot the holidays were over a while ago for citizens in the country and world wide.

The extended holiday season under the guise of government shut down by leading public officials is actually hurting ordinary folks who survive paycheck to paycheck.

I can completely relate to this no pay or salary situation considering my status working without any pay in the past ten years and up until now and yet meet all financial obligations tied to basic existence.

Those who are behind this prolonged shut down obviously care less for it does not affect them monetarily given the wealth at their disposal.

Furthermore, in every government shutdown which is a routine for most administrations, Congress always protect their interests in terms of income or paycheck to self in the House and Senate. In other words, the government shutdown translates into paid vacation for Congress and the administration.

However, that is not the case for nearly a million government workers enduring severe impact of this gridlock between Congress and Whitehouse.

Whatever political differences there are between warring factions over border wall and various issues, there is no justification in holding ordinary citizens i.e. employees and other critical government services indefinitely hostage without any desire to resolve the problem amicably in national interest.

In fact, the economic costs from this shut down only increase liability adding to United States deficit and national debt at taxpayers expense. Any gains expected from trilateral treaty signed and yet to be ratified i.e. United States, Mexico and Canada Agreement and similar deals would have to salvage the revenue loss for government due to the current irrational stalemate involving the Whitehouse and House of Congress.

Government closure due to unwillingness to reconcile differences failing to prioritize the need for functionality and importantly thousands of employees deprived of life dependent income is meaningless as these negotiations could be done without hindering government operation.

The administration obstinacy over border wall citing security ignores immediate crisis from the suspension of government apparatus providing diverse services that are connected with generating revenue for the nation.

Again the members as staff and workers forced into unemployment in the absence of paycheck including taxes to government deserve attention in this unnecessary showdown.

United States leaderships demonstrating maturity and sensitivity to government workers and their families plight besides focus on utilizing taxpayers hard earned money in addressing issues through constructive political discourse would be much appreciated.

I urge President Donald Trump, House Majority leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority leader Senator Mitch McConnell to end the government shut down and engage in positive dialogue on all matter.

Thank you.

India – Dynasty Politics

India – Dynasty Politics 

Padmini Arhant

Indian electorate  – the ordinary citizens exploited and marginalized by upper echelons in society deserve to be liberated from dynasty politics prevalent in all parties embedded in corruption, nepotism and cronyism. Not to mention the external forces i.e. the deep state clout on Indian politics. 

Rahul Gandhi during visit to the United States not long ago lectured on transparency and accountability. The next leg of his journey to Washington D.C. entailed meeting behind closed doors with Congressional members in the Capitol Hill that confirmed Rahul Gandhi’s commitment or the lack there of in this respect. So much for transparency and candor. 

In Nehru Parivar (family) – The Gandhi surname has been enormously beneficial to the successors in the family. 

Sonia Parivar (family) claiming entitlement to power based on dynastic politics reflect unquenchable quest considering the illegal wealth and land amassed by Sonia and family alone could wipe out poverty in India.

Priyanka and Robert Vadra’s illicit land acquisitions in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh to begin with account for massive fraud and would escalate upon Sonia Parivar return to power amid scandalous legacy. 

How long will Sonia Parivar (family) excoriate India citing forefathers participation in freedom movement? 

NB:  Indira Gandhi assassination was due to wanton involvement in troop deployment in the Holy Shrine Golden Temple, Amritsar, Punjab.

Rajeev Gandhi assassination was triggered by the former Prime Minister’s misguided engagement in Sri Lanka against Tamils in that island nation. Sonia Gandhi avenged revenge against Tamils in Sri Lanka with full throttled support to then dictatorial regime of Mahinda Rajapaksa resulting in genocide of Tamils in Sri Lanka in 2009.

Furthermore, Rajiv Gandhi tenure also slighted ethnic cleansing of Sikhs in Delhi, Punjab and wherever possible in 1984. Similar reaction in Bhopal Union Carbide disaster that consumed more than 3000 lives in the major industrial incident. 

Karma is the decisive factor in such tragic and historic events.

Something to remember for those neglecting Karmic effects in life.

More on other Indian political parties will resume in the next articles.

India – Political Culture

January 21, 2019

India – Political Culture

Padmini Arhant

Politics as such do not have great reputation in the world. It is not politics fault for the problem is directly related to those in politics pledging allegiance to internal and external counterproductive ideology, philosophy, anti-humanity and anti-nature dealings.

Among many fields and occupations, politics that is supposed to be public service continues to attract disdain among citizens anywhere in the world.

The reason behind this status is corruption in politics, abuse of power against the same people i.e. electorate granting them mandate to govern the state or nation. Unfortunately, this mandate often and repeatedly misinterpreted by those assuming power who misuse the same much to own downfall.

Politics is also controlled by deep state with non-citizens reining absolute authority via proxies and puppets installed as head of the state. The dark forces as incognito power cover their base by betting on all horses facilitating the inevitable win in the formality called election.

Election is a process set up to deceive electorate in casting vote on empty promises with campaigners of various political parties exploiting average citizens for self and vested interests during their term in office. In Indian politics, the voters are presented with star power by issuing tickets to film actors, actresses and sports personalities to deflect public attention from real issues.

In fact, Indian economy is drained via corruption, tax evasion, embezzlement, illegal offshore accounts and black money hoarding by three major entities and they are – members in politics, celebrities and industrialists – Rajnithi, Celebrity, Udyogpathi persistently dominate leaving the overwhelming majority in abject poverty and generational struggle to make ends meet in their lives.

These three elements’ abuse in Indian society is the cause for ever increasing gap between the poor and filthy rich never content with the loot from the middle class and lower income being the actual tax payers in the economy. Indian politics is also severely dependent on caste based electoral gains serving as vote banks to various political factions in the absence of meaningful deliverable economic policy and social manifesto. Not to mention the political dynasty, communal politics playing a major role in seeking power. The politicians and those in favor of hierarchy and social injustice in society are vehemently opposed to eliminating casteism, the stigma on India amid fraudulently claiming progress since the so-called independence.

The vast number in Indian society are marginalized, isolated, discriminated and disenfranchised to suit upper echelons corrupt lifestyle and parasitic existence. Not surprisingly, the reference to rape is loosely made during election campaigns and otherwise considering the dominant members raping the economy besides violating ordinary folks that are routine activities in the country. The rape incidents following their leaders in politics, entertainment and other sectors are rampant not sparing infants in the out of control morbid sexual predatory instincts. The situation is further exacerbated by Indian film industry and their leading influential sources commercializing sex for profitability in arts and entertainment.

Women status among the weaker and vulnerable sections in Indian society is far from improvement as they are treated as second class citizens which is relatively better than those commonly known as Dalits or untouchables, gay, transgender, eunuchs and anyone affected by social prejudice including people with disabilities are all regarded beneath human category.

These sentiments are openly and candidly reflected in political speech without any shame or restraint. As recently as a day ago when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi led BJP ruled northern state Uttar Pradesh’s legislative member – the female politician’s diatribe targeting political opponent enunciated rape in graphic details alongside describing their female political rival as worse than eunuch not worthy of respect in society clearly depict contemptuous political culture and those whom they represent in politics. This behavior is interestingly rewarded with ministerial posts by political party promoting indecency, insolence and intolerance in public domain.

The backwardness in political mindset is unequivocally posing impediments in India’s social economic development diminishing the prospects of much required transformation in society. Again, the political contenders vying for highest position in the land having tainted record such as abusing women whether in involvement of gang rape citing Rahul Gandhi or state sponsored murder of rape victim in 2012 by Sonia Gandhi, then Congress high command with opposition and other political members complicity and,

Last but not the least the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi abandonment of his spouse without providing any support to her are indicative of women’s plight in India. The background further emphasize that those who ignore responsibility towards next of kin are not poised to care for others let alone the nation they are elected to serve in the official designation. 

Accordingly, women in urban and rural areas in particular are confronted with challenges in the mistreatment of women beginning from the political class down to other segments in the hostile environment.

Indian politics is predominantly premised on goon and gutter politics deploying unscrupulous tactics and nefarious means to gain political mileage and ultimately the mantle of power by unworthy and undeserving figures fostered to maintain status quo. Needless to say, meritocracy is a misnomer in the contentious class and caste oriented system.

The female politicians on their part have fair share of political baggage in corruption, hardline strategy using unemployed youths as buffer to curb political dissent through violent threats and crimes against disillusioned citizens in their respective states and province.

The political contestants with criminal charges emerging as representatives of Indian citizens and India, apparently the largest democracy remain the biggest irony.

India has a long way to go in terms of social acceptance and fair economic opportunity constrained by embedded corruption, nepotism, cronyism, dynastic politics and demonstrably the caste epidemic derailing any positive growth necessary in the real India comprising poor, working class, suppressed labor force, neglected farmers and socially ostracized demography.

Mass consciousness and action eradicating casteism, classism, sexism i.e. any form of divisive polarizing politics and social dogma contributing to treason and breach of public trust is the way forward to build a nation of optimism and reliable future for all.

Thank you.
