Elections, Governors, Democracy ....

Although I am not a huge fan of politics, there are times when it really amuses me to see all our "leaders" carrying a fight over morals through the media. With the conclusion of the latest state assembly elections, there's been complete chaos in two of our country's 'not so popular' states, namely Jharkhand and of course, Bihar! The manner in which the governor of Jharkhand has responded to the election results is outrageous to say the least. The situation in Bihar is no better with another hung assembly.. And then we had the circus in Goa with the governor taking the matter into his own hands again. As I am writing this, I believe that Congress has proved its majority there(atleast for now).

These latest developments have triggered off many debates about our country's democratic setup and structure.. Well, I am someone who will definitely defend our system of electing representatives for the people. In my opinion, people will always find a workaround in any system to get into power. But I guess there are lunatics like me who still have faith in our country's resilience. I know there may be a thousand shortcomings in our country, however showing the spirit of a true Indian, all I have to say is that given the option of living in any country at any point of time, I'd definitely say "Gimme India anyday!!" As the SRK Movie title/song goes "Phir bhi dil hai hindustani!"

Jai Hind!!
