The Talibanisation of Indian Democracy

India has always been a role model of democracy all over the world. It was always looked upon for its practice of free speech and equal opportunities.However, two incidents have spoilt the above notion….it has pushed democracy into a corner, silencing it completely.

The first bone of contention is obviously, the quota system. It's absolutely disgusting to see the young medicos being treated like scum. What happened to all that talk about doctors being second only to God? Everything seems to be flushed away just to gain a few votes.There is so much despair when a general category person loses a seat to an SC/ST or an OBC person. All that hard work and toil…..it's a big waste. It's really a heartbreaking situation.
The Indian prime minister wears the garb of diplomacy to perfection, but in reality he is just a toothless tiger dancing to the tunes of vote bank politics. He is the worst role model the youth of India can ever have.

The second issue that's rather appalling is the shabby way in which Aamir Khan's statements seems to have been handled. The B.J.P. was always a progressive party that the youth looked upto for inspiration. However, these days they seem to be letting ego's come in the way of their principles and as a result, killing democracy.

This is a free country, where free speech is a birthright. The Congress or the B.J.P cannot take this away from any of us.

Aamir Khan and the anti-quota medicos were just trying to make their voices heard…..fighting for justice…..and they seem to be getting stamped. Is this what democracy is?

Let us not encourage these regressive happenings. Let us put India back on the path of democracy. Let it again be a place where each one of us is free to do as we please.
