Indian politicians vs foreign politicians

 

The Indian politicians are hungry after power authority and always want to misuse their political power at the highest point.

 

 Indian politicians are have high power

 

·        Voters are not asking questions , so we need to go them and ask WHY

·        Media is not doing their job correctly. They are going every politicians to get their comment on any issues ( this way giving importance to that politicians )

·        Voters are used to “FREEBIES” so who ever is giving freebies , giving votes to them.

·        They never discuss on development plan but rather argue with oppositions with dirty words.

·        Voters should be alerted all time and same time we expect transparency in all projects.

Difereance between Indian and US POLITICIANS

1.     In USA candidates of same political parties contests each other to become President nominee while in India they compete only to opposition parties.

2.     In election of USA candidates of different political parties do debate on media and tell their vision and other things while in India they do this indirect way, not in front of media.

3.     In India politicians when get elected they try to be permanent and consider them selves above the law and sometime they think they are the Law while in USA they respect law and lives like other citizen.

4.     Nepotism is in boom in India while this thing in USA is much less in comparison to India.

5.     Corruption will be same in USA and India but in India it seems to be high.

6.     In India politicians has no responsibilities while in USA they have responsibilities.

 

 

India is doing good in every field be it science, technology, medicine or education but it's politics is still based on some old photo ops tactics of visiting houses and eating food with them once in five years. From dividing people on the basis of religion, caste, creed and gender openly in speeches to distributing blankets among the poor to making misogynistic statements, indian politics is still the same. Employing criminals and goons to target political rivals is common. Violence in elections is still normal and people too don't have any issues with that….many people here in india vote on whether the political party support our religion or not simply emboldening the politicians even more. In America too the things are not good but still I think the law and order situation is well maintained there especially during elections (capitol Hill is an exception) .. …but I feel the people here have started thinking rationally and it is still not beyond the realms of possibility that india too would soon have great minds in the business of politics 😉

 

Westerners and Indians both are familiar with western political thought but by and large neither of them are familiar with original Indian political thought. Even I am not not familiar with Indian political thought and I believe that's the case with most of you.

The paucity of Indian political thought in our public discourse and the ideological framework of major political parties has often bothered me. I mean all of us at least broadly familiar with Classical Liberalism, Republicanism, ideals of the American and French Revolution, Marxism, Fascism and Socialism but we almost draw a blank when it comes to Indian political thought. The only treatises that come to mind are the Arthashastra of Chanakya and the Nitisara of Kamandaka. Modern treatises on political thought are Vinayak Savarkar's Hindutva and Deen Dayal Upaddhyay's philosophy/theory of Integral Humanism. However there are a number of Shastras/Smritis that served as manuals of governance/informal constitution for kings in ancient and medieval times. There is the Anushasana Parva in the Mahabharata where Bhishma lying on the bed of arrows gives advice to Yuddhisthira about the duties and responsibilities of a king.

It is highly improbable that the rich intellectual hesitate of the Indian civilization does not include our own political thought. There is some material here and there on Indian political thought but I have yet to come across a comprehensive work on it or maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Dr. Radhakrishnan's Hindu View of Life and Indian Philosophy are probably good places to start although they are not exactly treatises on indigenous political thought but philosophy.
