Before we enter into a worship place, we keep our footwear outside the shrine. It means we should not carry dirty things, even if we use them for our daily life, into a sacred place. Similarly, when we enter into our conscience for introspection, we should not carry any dirty politics with us. Now the answer is crystal clear: Our constitution guarantees our fundamental rights. We scream and fight for them every now and then. At the same time our constitution prescribes our fundamental duties. We will conveniently keep these in the refrigerator. This is the main problem we have. We have to recognize our fundamental duties and invoke them as and when they become necessary. We have to introspect before we criticize someone. If many of the politicians practice a small fraction of what they preach, our

see u all say system is wrong.. can i ask u how system become worng?
A system is made by people also. A simple eg is how many us is showing proper manners in roads. How many of us are obeying traffic rules. Let me give u an example..at statue junction there are signal lights..how many of us dare to obey them, if some one breaks the law we all think " if he can why cant i". Another one when in beach or park, how many of us care to not make it polluted (lets not clean it but we can avoid making it litter)..how many wear helmets while driving (many say "I do" but please look around and count how many are not wearing) .. these are very basic things which we can do... so we all must take responsibilities instead of saying politicians are bad we must first make ourselves perfect,,,

Dear Kochukurup,
There is no system without the people and we are all part of it.If it is perfect, the people should also be perfect. Otherwise we are talking about something which is like ghost, non-existent concept. So if the people are wrong, system is also wrong. The system will be perfect in an ideal situation where there are no negatives including corruption of wealth, power, position, sex, cast, religion, etc. All these involves people and the end goal is more power and more money. Unquenchable thirst for these corrupts any system and ours is not at all an exception. What we should teach our kids is that money and power is not everything in life. Then they will start to love, share, compassionate, patriotic, etc., etc.
regards,
John

System in india is a perfect one and is a model one. But problem is who drives the system, comittement of people towards the system. We people does not have any consideration for others.. first the mentality of people must be changed instead of simply finding fault in other..we must try to do our part...atleast we must teach coming generations how to be a good citizen...with warm regards

yes, there is no system which is 100% perfect. but now in india, democracy is an industry and political parties are units of that industry and they invest money get power and use public money for their own benefit. for this struggle for power and money making by confusing people and catching votes all are running saying left or right or middle. all are same. once they are in power, they start making money.karl marx remarked after completing his book on communism that there is doubt this can be put into practice because all human beings are born selfish and they work for their family and not for the general public.my idea (me. i.c.s. menon alias ittamveetil chandrasekhara menon) is to crack the centralised, organised corruption and also to finish the power hunger of the politicians. if the people realise their power and remove the power hunger politicians from the clutches of public exchequer, some of my idea is in action. later on when we find the executives and judiciary who are also comprised of humans, are also going through the path of politicians, we have to check them also. when power is decentralised, so many things can happen.i hope you got some idea about my idea of cleaning democratic process in our state and then spread it slowly.please feel free to ask me more doubts so that i become perfect in my planswith best wishes and regards,ics menonOn Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 8:06 PM, Sainu.Palam <sainupalam369@yahoo.co.in> wrote:

I agree to your views that someone get elected who doesn't have the people's support. Any election should be made cancelled if 60% polling was not done and no body should be allowed get elected if he doesn't get above 50% of votes casted. Governor's /President's rule should be applied in that particular constituancy.Regds,

In the present system of democratic process if a candidate gets 15-20% votes of the total population of that constituency, he will be in majority where as the majority does not like him to be their representative because of political and other rivalries. In other words the elected candidate is not the real representative of all the voters.To overcome this problem, it is suggested that we remove all politicians from power and elect an independent candidate. This will facilitate a direct approach of the people to the officials (Executives) to get things done i.e. political interference is not there at all.
There will not be any leader among the elected representatives and all are equal. Their duty is to see the peoples problems attended by the concerned officials i.e. executives and the judiciary.
This is required because politicians hide lot of things from the public and when some corruption is coming to the light, they conduct an enquiry, again spending the public money.
This is one type of decentralization of power and people can watch the officials doing their duties without political influence.
After successfully implementing this in the local body level, this can be put into practice so that we can save lot of money which is being spent for enjoyment of politicians as ministers etc…..
So think over this now and put it into practice without delay.
Let the present Devil's Own Country be the God's Own Country of the future.
Hope everyone at Keralites Group will try to spread this idea of total democracy in Kerala.
with warm regards
