Participation or excessive involvement


Since last 1 year what we have seen is a very significant change in political condition of India. Here I want emphasize that Indian condition because some of my friends think that this is greatest change in the political history of world, I don’t agree, so let’s stick with India only. These changes are good or bad or even worse in long term is yet to be decided, lets cross our fingers and hope of the best. However, what is certainly visible at this early stage .People have lost his faith in current system, no matter how good or bad it is. Every one is so dyeing to change everything over night.Tending to overnight change makes no mistake to changing to radicalism. I hope, By God grace, so called most politically aware people of India (especially low base jeans and Yo Youth) know where radicalism goes at the final stage.
Somehow people of India or at least some portion (though a significant) have started thinking that their excessive involvement will change the course of politics. I wish if they could be right. Now seems that every one have no faith in party or ideology rather everyone has own ideology and  to make it worse they want to practice it , so naturally they want to their so called favorite party to implement it .
Hypocrisy is at its peak and what is inevitable about this is false notion in people. I was on the way to IGI and cab driver is talking about the new political changes and I was surprised when he said that “sir Dekhana 2 saal me India US ho Jayega “I admired his positive attitude but at the same time I felt pity for him.  Now it’s time to blame someone for his situation, none other than hypocrisy, obviously I couldn’t think of any Hippocratic in India.   
Now days some of our intellectuals want to be people’s representative at first place and then after that they want to advocate the direct democracy, referendum and so called plebiscite.  They seem very die-hard fans of that practice of tiny countries where it was being practice or being practice. What I don’t understand is that if they just want to refer every time to public for everything then why they become representative. If people have elected you people have faith in you. You need not to move a no -confidence motion against yourself before taking any decision. Probably it may turn up good for you for your elections agenda ,because people may feel that they are being given so much importance but at the same time you are creating a false notion in public. In democracy we elect a good candidate thinking he/she is an able person who can think better for the collective goods for people but by this you are just passing a message in every common people that he himself is capable to formulate national or International policies. It feels so good to think a situation where everyone knows how to run a country but reality is way different.
Seems people don’t want to be politically aware like what is good or bad for them rather they want to be In charge of their own welfare and expect the Govt. to function is same way. Yes, that right there is nothing wrong to have that expectation but at same time people should know that two persons interests may conflict.
Some of my friends are comparing recent Govt. change in Delhi to Bollywood film “Nayak” I hope they are just kidding. Seems like sense of nationalism is out dated concept in India. Every one want swaraj but in their own republic. No one ask, elect me because I am good and I will do good , rather they say elect me because I’m better than previous one .. That’s clearly means if previous one was absolutely bad so your being little good than him is not going to help.
After scanning the social media trend, seems many of them clearly no Idea that what difference between looking good and being good . Even looking good may be better option when it comes to nationalism not for the interest for some particular people. Collective good is always better than individuals good. Now how to decide what is collective good??  Is it something based on constituency or state or Nation? Let’s face it and think about the nationalism and probably a nationalistic government. Think about that deep down in your heart .....Goddamn you know what is good for INDIA.
