DEMOCRACY

India seems hell-bent on propagating Tolerance on an unprecedented,to such an extent that the average Indian common man shall perhaps think & act in the most reactionery of ways.

Of course India stands as an example of true democracy & the way an Indian enjoys his fundamental rights & individual freedom,as empowered by our Constitution,is perhaps the best amongst all democracies.We may argue over this fact,as to how the extensive political corruption in the government & bureacracy continues to exist & make its way to the front page of the morning newspaper or the news channels on TV on a daily basis if Our Democracy,strengthened by the voices of the masses empowered to enjoy their constitutional rights,is truely practised.But we shouldn't forget the fact that we come to know about our political corruption through the media which has never been gagged by the ruling section in the history of independent India(barring the controversial regime when Emergency was imposed upon the entire nation by the Indian govt in the early 70s)-it is the freedom of thought,of speech & of action bestowed upon by our constitution that allows the media to take up its role as a constructive critic of our governance,as a source of extensive information to our citizens,& even in the role of a virtual vigilante in face of extensive,scandalous corruption.

The question is-in order to maintain our "traditional" sanctity of Democracy as a primary priority,are our governing instituions becoming weak,too weak to preserve democracy,thereby eroding the rights of a common man in the process,to practise it?
When it comes to international politics,India has always been too accommodating & submissive.Though the status of India in the United Nations continues to be revered to some extent by the West,the East & our immediate neighbours,recent developments reveal that India is getting arm-twisted by her neighbours,effectively losing out when engaged in bureaucratic battles.It's sending the wrong message.Otherwise Ajmal Amir Kasab wouldn't be surviving till now,being lavishly paid for by the tax-payer's money,our money.It is incredibly outrageous to see him tossing the entire country's self-respect wildly,being taken by the scruff,spitting at our judiciary..practically at our faces.And we continue to indulge him.

Why is a brute of a man with pervert homophobia,who killed innocent people mercilessly in Mumbai on the fateful night of 26/11,being continued to allow to live,to make a mockery of our judicial system,spitting at our traditional tolerance?When he is ignoring the court proceedings dealing with the formalisation of his death-sentence,demanding to be tried in a USA court under the umbrella of human rights commissions,he is insulting Indian democracy,he is insulting our constitution,he is insulting us,Indian citizens.Why are we being having to put up with the audacious obnoxity,that too at our own expense?Is it not denigrating our constitutional rights to live,think & express freely with Dignity?What is the priority of the federal structure of our Democracy-to let us citizens to live with freedom & dignity,or to be politically correct in the international society?It is better to act brute rather than being hypocritically tolerant.Kasab & the political will of the country from he hails should be "neutralised"  openly to set a precedent,a strong warning to e'body who thinks of harming Indian democracy.
Kasab's lawyer attributes his client's behaviour almost to the point of justification to the solitary confinement which imprisons Kasab to make him Suffer!But isn't THAT exactly the idea behind one's punishment by the judiciary-suffering by imprisonment?

India needs to put a stop to this nonsensical charade of a politically correct democracy.Terrorism cannot be dealt with a rehabilititationary intent.Otherwise people like  Geelani,one of the major secessionists of Kashmir shall continue to spit venom at our Democracy's face,being allowed to participate in seditious meetings as like in New Delhi yesterday in the presence of "humanists" like Arundhati Roy(so much so for a supposedly intellectual humanists).Freedom of Speech indeed!
