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
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!
