Politics was not a new word for me. I remember Political science was an integrated part of Social Science,a very important and boring subject for Indian students during there High school time. At that time i barely understood it as a part of the syllabus and nothing else but today i find it an integral part of our daily lives. Politics is not just restricted to politicians,parliament and government but its actually present in our daily lives everywhere. From School elections for Head boy/girl to our Homes where siblings often try win over parents for rewards, its present in Schools and in our Homes in one form or another. From Parliament to offices and Industries where employees compete for promotion and performance. In some discrete form,politics is everywhere because politics is not just competing in elections and be a part of a political party but first to be a concern citizen and cast your VOTE,which is the beginning or very first step of politics.
"Democracy is discussion,debate,contradictions,understandings,decisions and much more".
I heard a statement of Mr.Digvijay Singh(Senior congress leader),in a very funny manner,he criticized Anna Hazare soon after Anna's Teammate Arvind kejriwal announced the formation of their own political party,he said that "Anna's ideas were always political and he wanted to take political advantage out of the revolution".
*Isn't it shameful that a senior political man who has been part of politics since ages, criticizing another man for becoming part of politics ?
*Is politics a bad or forbidden thing ?
*Congress party was also formed from a Revolution then why not their intentions are bad ?
*If politics is really a wicked thing,then why he's still part of it ?
These were some questions that still arise in my mind and that day i realized that i have to know what exactly this politics is. So far now i still can not define politics but in my curiosity of finding these answers i learned a lot other things both about politics and how it is related to other big and small things.
Politics is the basic building block of our government. We the people,we choose some people from us to be our representatives and make decisions on our behalf,for the benefit of the society and thus for the betterment of our country. But unfortunately in India people don't understand these simple lines. They still believe that only few people or politicians are entitled to be part of politics and government. As a result,these politicians take advantage of this for their own selfish desires,thus treating a common man like a pest or rodent.
If you are reading this line now,than i hope you have read the lines above too and you are equally agitated and aware as i am. I am not trying to be a leader or the man who knows everything but i am just a common man like you who wants to know something,who wants some things . My wishes and desires means nothing ?? I will keep trying in one or other ways, be it my words or my vote.
Politics may be bad,may be good but it is worse when misunderstood and ignored. Do not ignore politics,you are already a part of it,learn it,use it and be it.
"THIS TIME,VOTE FOR GOOD"
