I am confused and anguished with the current deteriorating quality of life for the common man..

When a foreign country or a military junta rules giving no right to have a say in the governance, the usual modes of fighting for liberation is through organised underground movements, armed commando sniper attacks on the authority figures, or coming out on streets and blocking the transportation and day to day life and go to jail or get killed by bullets. The killed become martyrs and they further fuel the movement.

But when the country has been liberated, and they have universal voting rights, choose their governments and make their laws and have right to change the government through ballot, and a majority rule is to be gracefully accepted while minorities personal life style is protected, basic human rights are assured through a justice system, where is the place for the old style approaches for changing the governments?

But that is what our leaders and professors and university students are promoting , adopting the methods of British era. Actually the majority is held to ransom by the militant aggressive minority groups in this process.

The weakness of democracy is its respect for the human rights. It is the highest virtue of a human. It is a paradox that a virtue has become a weakness.

So a few humans with own agenda are able to be act inhuman, disrespecting human rights of others, and bully or burn public property while claiming at the same time to be victims of the system, and some even take up arms kidnap authority figures, black mail the government--- all under some perceived injustice, whereas the system we have give ourselves is the best possible for human governance.

It is a matter to seriously ponder, whether those who act wantonly, even after being literate and understand very well what mischief they are doing undermining the very democratic foundation, should stand to lose their human rights; simply because they ceased to be human. The democratic institutions cannot act as weaklings when lawfully elected state institutions are humiliated and disobeyed. Those who seek protection of the constitution while abusing the same and undermining the institutions under the constituion, shall be punished by provisions in law to be eliminated from such civilised society.

How can we allow uncivilised barbarian behaviour to prevail in a fully democratic society?

The way stupid and thoughtless analysis and mischievous distorted issues are built up , leveraging the electronic media, causing untold hardship to rest of civil society is amazing. It is even more amazing that the democracy is hijacked and the very assembly or parliament gets paralysed by such uncivilised thought less acts.

So we will soon slip in to the maoist kangaroo courts of justice, where old style people's justice of instant justice getting administered 100 years ago, coming back.

Soon the violent mobs rule the streets and rest subjugated slowly losing their democratic rights.

Is that that we want?

Why democracy and good man cannot defend himself? WHose fault it is? Where is the strength of democracy if the duly installed governments either have to become a military junta to survive?

Does it mean we are not fit for democracy even after 60 years?

Surprisingly it is not the villagers nor the poor... but limited to well to do politicos, well educated lawyers, elected honourable MLAs and MPs and literate small band of students constituting less than 1% of the population, who are guilty of such serious misconduct to destroy public property, use uncivil abusive language of communication, throttle any other voice of difference, disrupt the entire state machinery and generally distorting the working of the democracy!!!

The insult to injury is to further to say they are being denied their "democratic rights" to destroy the peace around.

When did we become such gross stupids? The education seems to have destroyed simple wisdom and good behaviour to show respect to each other and live as humans.

Less educated villagers seem to be behaving better by many orders more in comparison.

Probably delayed justice, indifferent governance, lack of commitment for honest and responsive social service in those who serve the government, procedure taking over both time and resources finally defeating the very objective for which the procedure is devised--- nullify the good governance promised in democracy.

Trust deficit is seriously hurting I believe.

But for the present...

Yes, Sir, I am confused and anguished.
