How many of you would join Politics? - Page 3

So being a politician alone would make India a true developed and progressive country?...nah never in a million.

Though if we as an individual and as citizen of this country are in touch with our social,moral and civic duty, we would be better place to bring reforms in their truest from.

My 9th class sst lesson highlighted how ours is- by the people, for the people and from the people,democracy
...underlining the people participation in every form.

Being a responsible and aware citizen , electing an effective candidate and being an active part of society is what upholds the democracy.

An elected member has a set duration at the office but it is the bureaucratic and public participation which remains constant, if we are able to iron out inefficiency and and remove the "chal raha hai" attitude at these level we would contribute more.

Being aware and assertive citizen doesnt mean slogan shouting or strikes at every instant but it means to question the govt policies and being aware about them.Use RTI, raise concerns and doubts regarding the policies but dont undermine the authority of Indian parliament, coz it is also the will of the people.

Right now it is essential if individually whatever we might do or be in our lives but if we have our morals and responsibilites towards society and country in place , we would be doing more than enough..

I would definitely enter politics in the future. But that has a lot of time as there are loads of things I need to learn yet.

one question
how many of us go to vote? and how many of us vote for one of the more publicised parties? I do. Am not sure why i dont think that maybe the independent candidates would be better or wud do something worthwhile. Does one vote make a difference, i strongly feel, it does Not.
Hence, its either BJP or Congress or BSP or somebody else.
I dont mean to attack any of these parties right now but i feel my opinions are very one sided and my votes are pretty much worthless.

I wanted to do LLB a few weeks back, even right now i want to do it, but am not sure if i can help someone with that degree. :-/

I've voted all the 4yrs I was eligible to vote while I wad in India, plus two tines on my visits. I would love to see absentee ballot soon, and have worked with organizations in past with the petitions.

P.S. will return later next week to reply to some posts here, laptop's dead and iPad sucks when it comes to quoting posts.

Happy Weekend People!

Edit - I actually came here to post this link, but ended up replying to something else. Oh well... here, I found this so funny n true [: P]

nope I wouldnot join.

I had always thought of joinig army or navy to serve the country...Politics is not a field where we can do anything..even if we wants to...There are ministers who are capable of stopping all evil deeds in our society..but due to political pressures, and other various reasons, they are also shunned to one side..In any system, there is no need to join politics for fighting for justice..any person can do that...Politics is made for man, for his benefit...We are not bound by politics...

Have you read the news that occurs in various parts of the world that even if a crime happens in front of our own eyes, even if someone call out for help, no one or nobody goes to help them...because they are thinking its something the police must do or shouts for politicians to come and rescue...

Why don't you make a poll asking "how many of you think your nation as your own?" a poll to ask "how many of you will stop by car to help someone bleeding on road? " or another one to ask "how many of you will stop thinking that its the politicians or law's duty to do all things and not ours..?'

Its our place..and making it dirty..or clean..all depends on us,..the people living in that place.not only politicians and law's...

Note- No offense to anyone..just expressing my POV...

nice post- I am already involved at our local level- school board committees (good way to be part of the local government here in America). It is amazing just how few people actually DO anything! Very few have a vision and fewer still the skills to implement that vision! Leadership across the board is something hard to come by.

i am not interested in politics.
