Is The Death Of The Lokpal Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish In Indian Democracy?
At last everyone can take a sigh
of relief; democracy is safe, at least for now. The much debated Lokpal
Bill has been literally, in fact actually torn up in the Indian
Parliament! The Lokpal Bill was put
to sleep at midnight .
Despite all the flak she is
taking for her seemingly flip flop attitude to her coalition partnership of the
UPA government, Mamta
Banerjee, the maverick of Indian politics, must be credited with saving
democracy in India
this time around.

Another Acid Test For Democracy.
Barely noticed by the world,
yesterday was an important day for democracy!
The world’s biggest democracy,
which came under the threat of being usurped by populist and anarchists, aided
by the frustrations of an urban middle class and hyped by eyeballs hungry
media, showed the first signs of its inherent parliamentary strength and democratic
will to fight
back. After the cool breeze of Arab Spring, the tabling of the Lokpal bill
in the Indian parliament turned out to be a respite for democracy shaken by the
tremors of a harsh Indian summer!

Why Is Anna Hazare Fasting While India Is Sinking?
The politics of wrangling and
bickering in the US
and Europe is frustrating. The consolation is that the
politicians don’t have a clue how to tackle the sinking economy and it is
difficult to judge who is right. However the politics of obstruction which has
led to contraction
of growth in India ,
which till a year back maintained an impressive
rate, despite the banking crisis of 2008, is mind boggling.
“The industrial
production saw a staggering decline in October, with a negative growth of
5.1 percent in output mainly owing to huge fall in manufacturing and mining
sectors.”
