I feel hurt at increasing conflict between the people and the government. On no issue Indian people and their representatives seem to have convergence of views. In our childhood, we were taught that democratic form of government is of the people, for the people and by the people. But reality is altogether different. Now people only elect their representatives for governing the affairs of the nation, and after this their relevance ends. They become relevant only at the time of next election.
There is no governance. What we see today is nothing but a crude rule of few representatives over the majority. No action taken by the government goes well with the majority of people. Be it the 'office-of-profit' bill, Indo-US nuclear deal, amendment to RTI Act, continuance of reservation and extending it to new sectors, a conflict is seen in expectations of the people and approach of the government. People have to come out on the streets to force the government to think and act their way.
How can a society develop in this conflicting environment?
