People with power must be clean in their heart.
When a system ig governed by certain rules and hypothesis it is called in sanskrit as a "Nithee"or a 'rule'. Artha Nithi(Economics),Kuta nithi(Diplomacy), Raja Nthi(Politics) and the likes.In other 'nithi's when the cardinal rule is violated, a wrong result is expected. But in 'Raja nithi', every odds can be accommodated.
Politicians often say “in politics nobody is untouchable”, “nothing is impossible”. Forming a coalition government, or to weed out incompatible elements from the system etc.,although is not within the law, it happens in politics. Now a new thing is started-'sledging’. Major political parties are appointing spokes persons who are now authorised to issue sledging comments on persons of other parties. It was first started in a big way by Digvijay Singh of congress towards Narendra Modi of BJP followed by Beni Prasad,Nitish Kumar,Kumar Biswas. Now Aravind Kejriwal has created a new trend in sledging en masse from other parties.
Few days back Kejriwal has released a list of politicians across all political parties to whom he brands corrupt in his own wisdom and has asked AAP cadre to see those are not elected to the Parliament in the coming election. This is called 'politicking’ or to throw a stone into still water to see who comes out. It is a 'Nithi' in 'Raja Nithi'.The public should understand these tricks. At all politics is practiced by persons who are not saints. Unless you break the rule, you cannot come to the limelight.RTI activism, conduct fasting at public place, creating public agitation, Gandhi giri, practicing non-cooperation is some of the chapters in politics. But these practices are episodic. When it becomes perennial, it turns into’ politicking'.
Anna Hazare told that, he is interested in eradication of corruption from governance, but not in politicking. But Aravind Kejriwal told 'unless one enters into the mud, how can one be able to clean that’. Logically this hypothesis is appealing, but in reality it is politicking. It is a fact that, Democracy and corruption are both sides of a coin. Where there is habitation, rodents cannot be far behind.
A system works perfectly on a machine or on an electrical circuit. But in a system, where the ICs, capacitors, resistors and the repair tools(bureaucracy and judiciary) consists of ordinary human beings who are not above mundane greed’s, it is not expected to function as per the cardinal rules. Because what is absent in a machine is "Attitude" which a human being holds. To our wisdom, only a set of deterrent rules can only develop fear psychosis among the persons with power. In China for corruption the incumbents is generally awarded a death sentence. In USA for tertian violations the fines are so high that the person in conflict of law will just think multiple times before breaking a rule. India should follow these rules now. Cases relating to corruption and adulteration must be tried in fast-track courts.A rule must be there to create deterrence in judiciary to deliver time bound judgments.
In India we have been enjoying excess democracy. The country now requires democracy stew garnished with little bit of anarchism by really persons with patriotic philosophy to take out the system from the fathom deep of mud. The people of the nation must now wake up to select such a system, and should not be biased with the politicking by the persons who are in this profession to earn their livelihood.
