Family members first ?

        Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

          In India if you want to join politics, you could be allowed entry only if you have got some god-father already present in politics and if the man is from your family, the entry shall become easy.  People other than from the family are not allowed entry in politics in India.

          The people who want to join must be having money with them because elections are a very costly affair and there could be chances that you have to fight elections for many times before you could get a chair.  We know that the man who can get a chair shall become crore-patti, but we must accept that even tickets are on sale and you would not get a party ticket without having a big amount spared for this purpose.

          We must accept that people in politics were never having any desire to serve the people.  Here in India no one serves the people.  We all are selfish people and therefore, we join this field only to have chance to rule the people.  We are a land of rajas, maharajas, monarchs and the imperialists and therefore, still we are calling a beautiful woman as queen and a handsome man as raja.  The same old stories are still haunting us.  Therefore, here in India all those are present in politics want that they may become a minister one day, in spite of the fact that they know that they are not having the same skills which a minister must have. 

        The field of politics is a gainful employment and you can continue here till the last day on this earth.  There is no bar of qualifications, age, health, training, antecedents, character or so.  Once you join, you shall remain here because if one party ousts you, you can establish your own party or you may join another party and most of the politicians are also drawing their wards to this field and they too have chances before you die.  We have noted that only those are coming in this field whose elders are already in the field and new people who are without elders in this field cannot enter this field.  The elders, the media, the news papers and the money you have shall play a big part and in days you would be before the people and next time you have a chance to stand in election.

          The wards of politicians are not bound to join the same political party in which their parents had been.  They are at liberty to join another party because all the politicians have got one motive with them and that is to get power and since political parties here in India are just teams without having any permanent principles, there is no conversion like one in religions, and you can establish your place in any political party.

         We are noting that we have forgotten the old saying that an old man beyond seventy shall not be having any place and people shall be ignoring him, but people in politics are accepted beyond seventy and we can say that they are experienced hands and shall be more suitable to run the administration.

         This time people are declaring their assets beyond crores and for the first time people of India could understand that they had been electing wrong people.  But now it is too late and the people are not in position to shunt out these crorepattis from the politics because elections have become costly and only crorepattis shall be in the field. 

          So a strange type of democracy has come to India and even an ordinary person in India has started saying that when rich people are in the houses, we should not call this a democracy because these people are not committed to the people from whom they get vote.  It is very strange that only poor people cast their votes and the rich who are getting benefits from all the sides, especially from these politicians, mostly do not cast their votes.  The people who vote are often ignored.  Therefore, time has come when the people experts in the field of political science must establish a new definition of ' democracy' and must add the same in books of political science.

           The people must try to say that there should be age limit and it must be within 35 to 70 and none more than 75 be allowed entry in the August Houses.
