The Importance of ‘Good Politics’


Reading this title will make you think that the title itself is a paradox. How can politics in any sort be good? 
Corruption is at all-time high, new scams and scandals are getting exposed every day. We all know that these things are all related to politics in some way or the other. In India , corruption and politics go hand in hand. One third of the MLA’s and MP’s are facing criminal charges. But has anyone given a thought how India would be if the politics were to become corruption free, which in turn would lead to a corruption free governance?


     I have read somewhere that the biggest problem of this nation is not corruption and politicians who have vested interests, but it is the attitude of the youth who blame these people ,but when it comes to voting they say “WE HATE POLITICS”. Democratic nation without politics is not just done. For we the  youth , it is cool to talk about football, movies , newly released mobiles in the market but when it comes to politics , the administration  we have a tendency of getting bored very quickly and someone blurts out “change the topic”. What will be the future of this nation if we have such a laid back attitude towards the running of our country?



     India being a democratic nation, we choose our representative every five years. Now people are bound to say if every candidate is corrupt ,whom are we going to vote and why should we vote? Raising questions is the essence of democracy but we have to find a solution and of the solution is the right to reject. Very few people know that there exists something called as ‘Right to Reject’. Election day is a public holiday and still the turnout is as low as 40-50%. The reason behind this is that the educated class turn a blind eye to the polls and plan a nice holiday tour. I believe these people have no right to complain about the growing problems of India.


    Many people are trying to bring about a change in the country but they will have to face a major hurdle as all the evil forces will try to curb them but it is our responsibility to support them. Good Governance will lead to better law and order and we will be a step closer to achieving the dream of ‘DEVELOPED INDIA’.
