Gandhigiri V2.1

Violence for any reason some how becoming a trade mark for indian democracy. We are having new age indian politicians with there new philosophies to secure vote. Its amazing how some parties win elections consistently without ever talking about something that is constructive. It seems to me that you have to divide people based on region, religon or any such emotional issues to win election in india.

Again a statue was disfigured in one part of india by may be hoolingans, anti social elements or people with some real bad motives. What ever may be the motivation , the statue was disfigured. A wide spread protest sarted with rioting. Sometimes I wonder what message exactly these rioters want to convey. I feel except there leaders interviewed by all these junk channels and some cheap publicity for the rioters leader nothing fruitful really comes out of this excercise of setting fire to shops and vehicles of those who are no way realted to disfigurement episode.

Politicians now a days have developed new version of gandhigiri where you will have hartal but will ask everyone to stop doing what they are doing forcefully. They have replace 'Ahinsa' with 'HINSA' in bold letters.

There is something very basic that seems to be flawed here, either the society or may be political philosophy. The problem demands immediate identification and correction.
