Shaw’s definition of democracy ( Elected by Fools and ruled by rogues ) is true
of Kerla. Today is a total hartal day. Nobody is working. The Keralite gets one
more holiday in addtion to the 70 odd holidays he gets in one year. Kerala is
only 9th, with her GDP stagnating at around 58 billion.
Hartals have
become a common phenomenon. The Court banned Bandhs and so the politicians
replaced it by an other word, Hartal.
“It is a game of force and fraud
” said Veblen about democracy. It is a farce, as intuition and experience tell
us.
Now it is a open confrontation between two groups and God alone knows
what will happen.
When will India be liberated from this farce, which is goi in the name of democracy ?
