Politics or to say using a "good" word, governance was introduced so that the better management of all the resources present in the region, including the human resources, could be done. In other words it was meant to be a respectable duty or service to mankind and was meant to be on the lines of philanthropy. But, has it achieved what it was really meant to achieve. Or has it even gone on the path of achieving its goal. Probably not. And most of my colleagues of this generation will agree to this. And especially if you are from India, you will be more inclined to support me in these thoughts.
Everybody in India will have his or her own thoughts of what is wrong with politics in this country. Most of them will have their own personal experience to share on this matter. But, when you ask why is this problem prevalent here and what should be done to improve the conditions, a majority of the people will not have answers. And even if they have the answers, they dont want to come into open and articulate their ideas. So, then if you dont have the solutions or you dont want to share them, then I believe that it is worthless to complain about the conditions. Perhaps, this is the reason why politicians here are always busy in thinking of the ways to please the voters to gain their votes rather than winning them by the virtue of good governance.
And this is the case wherever you go in the country. And the situation becomes even more grim when the election season is around. So be it Raj Thackeray seeking to make his mark in Maharashtra politics by following on the path of his uncle, Mamata Banerjee trying to help farmers retain their land in singur from the TATAs, Mayawati helping her people by cancelling the rail project in Sonia Gandhi's land, Left parties fighting with Somanath Chatterjee, and many many other cases, everybody has the same ultimate goal.
This situation has to change, for the betterment of the country, for the betterment of its people, for the betterment of mankind...And this is the case wherever you go in the country.

I would like to end with an appeal to the youth to come forward and take more part in the governance and thereby help the country and its people. It is WE who can bring about the big change.
