This winter session of parliament started on 22/11/11. Going by the media reports, nation is made to know that during this session many important bills are to be taken up for discussions and passing. This includes bill on Lok Pal and many other matters of national and public interest. It is sad to observe that the Parliament could not transact any business and both houses of parliament continue to be adjourned till 24.11.11. Then on 24.11.11 itself a young man gave a slap (thapparh) on the face of a central govt. minister Mr Sharad Pawar. On 25/11/11 when the house again assembled, the Lok Sabha speaker at the very beginning put up a resolution reporting the SLAP incident. The house was one in condemning the incident and wishing severe punishment for the young man who did this act of SLAPING. Bad it is to assault any one in public, and normally the incident deserves condemnation. During passing of resolution of condemnation of the incident there was generally no disruption in the house (A rare occasion) AND EVERY ONE SEEMED ONE ON THIS SCORE. During this period there seemed not even a single voice to point out to the “WHY “of such types of incidents. None even tried to go into reason of ANGUISH the young man must be having that he dared to do this dangerous act of attacking a MINISTER that too in full glare of many where he was sure to be caught and punished. There were also no suggestions for introspections by the political class on the matter. As soon as this resolution was adopted, again there were disturbances and pandemonium in the house; though in the LOK SABHA two/three bills seemed to have been passed in a huff without any discussions there upon. Mostly the related proceedings were all drowned in the noise. The noise and disruptions were so loud that it seemed not possible to make out as to what exactly transpired in the HOUSE. Again, as conduct of the house seemed not possible it was adjourned to meet on 28/11/11. RAJYA SABHA too for similar reasons was adjourned. THESE TYPES OF DISTURBANCES are not witnessed for the first time, rather this seems to have become the culture at almost all the legislatures and parliament at the centre. To quote a few, MURDERS, RAPES, DECOITIES, EXTORTIONS, BRIBERIES, burning of public and private properties do take place in the country almost daily, but for them none seems worried and no discussions take place in the PARLIAMENT. Question is why this issue only. Then there are instances of wastage of public money for selfish ends and for self praise, like putting up of publicity through media, hoardings and construction of monuments etc, where lot of public money is wasted and natural resources consumed. Do all these acts not deserve similar attention and condemnations of the elected ones and the ministers? In general perception the elected persons are our leaders [KARANDHARS] WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WELL VERSED IN THE TENETS OF MANAV, RAJ AND RASHTRA DHARAMS and that way, they must be putting up all their knowledge, resources and energies to keep the nation and citizenry safe and secure from all types of troubles and problems. But here they seem concerned with their personal security, safety and progress of themselves and their nears and dears only. After this slap incident members of the victims political party created road blocks and also did some burnings to protest the incident. They do not seem to remember that the public inconveniences by these acts are not at all involved in this slap incident. Then who gives them right to create problems for all and sundry. If the Govt. of which the victim is a cabinet minister is not able to ensure proper GOVERNANCE then why general public be made to suffer. These very people there after reached the place of Shri Anna Hazare to protest against what he expressed on this incident of SLAP. There too it was the general public who was inconvenienced. It could again have been more SATVIK to introspect on the wordings of all who express on this issue. Will the political class not do well to themselves if they try to gauge the public mood as it exists in the country as of now.
Going by what has been mentioned here to fore, request to our KARANDHARS is to keep their cool even on such incidents and even if some individual incidents are to be taken up in the LEGISTATURES, such discussions can generally be keeping in view the oath taken by them as MEMBERS OF THESE AUGUST HOUSES and must do their full duty to the nation by participating in the proceedings, framing of positive and progressive laws for the safety and prosperity of all that is for the present as well as the future generations. If at all, some times resentments have to be expressed, these too can be done in the way that enhance the images of the karandhars so much so that none ever thinks of any ill will and disrespect for this class of persons. The general public too can try to force the elected ones to perform their prescribed functions and responsibilities in full and with full commitment to the nations and its citizens. AFTER ALL THE ELECTED ONES HAVE GOT THE POSITIONS FOR LIMITED PERIOD ONLY AND SUCH POSITIONS ARE AGAIN DUE TO COURTESY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC and duties given to them must be fully and honestly performed.
RAJNEETIKARON SE ANURODH HAI KI OH APNE KO STATESMEN BANAYEIN AUR VYAVHAR RAJNETAON KI TARAH KAREN. JANTA SE ANURODH HAI KI WOH IN LOGON KO AISE VYAVHAR KE LIYE BADHYA KARTE RAHEN.

NATIONAL UNITY v/s RESERVATIONS
Shri Anna Hazare along with his team members have taken up to fight against CORRUPTION .Those in the team Anna seem basically the persons with total COMMITMENT to the cause and have decided to sacrifice their comforts and some have even given up their lucrative jobs just for the sake of the common cause of a common man in the country. The common man in general is facing lot of problems due to this malice spread all over the country, rather in all walks of life. Those in the team have not been given appointments by any Govt.agency nor do they get any monetary benefits for being in the team. During the last agitational program at Ramlila grounds in Delhi, some community based groups accused TEAM Anna for not taking persons from SC/ST or the minority community in the team. The demand could only be considered as having been raised with malicious and negative intentions to damage the movement. But despite this, Annaji seems to have bowed to pressure tactics and unwanted critism of some selfish and myopic thinkers and has now decided that for spreading the movement, COMMITTEES would be formed all over the country at different levels. He declares that while forming such committees, care would be taken that such committees have representations from all these pressure groups i.e. SCs/STs and minority communities etc.
It seems strange that even for selfless type of actions such caste and community considerations come to the fore. This is even after more than 60 years since such RESERVATIONS were first given recognition which are being extended year after year just for VOTE BANK CONSIDERATIONS. THE COUNTRYMEN AND POLITICAL CLASS INCLUDING SUCH TYPES OF PRESSURE GROUPS continue to worship the present constitution, but simultaneously, at times when it suits their ends, if any voice is raised to change this constitution with the new one based on our own experience of running this country is treated as BLASPHEMIC but at the same time do not wish to follow the advice of makers of this very constitution, who had mandated provisions for RESERVATIONS to be for a limited period . This limited period is already over some decades ago.
The request to all the COUNTRYMEN and those at the helm of this movement is to stop treating the country as divided one on such caste/community considerations and whosoever and wherever COMMITED PERSONS ARE AVAILABLE should get recognition and be encouraged to join this movement.. CALIBRE/CAPACITY AND COMMITMENT TO THE CAUSE should get PRECEDENCE OVER any other considerations. Basically bowing before such unreasonable desires and demands and even wishes for being treated as separate from others and being in the position of always demanding need be discouraged. Rather acceding to such unwanted and unreasonable demands need be treated as CORRUPTION of the highest degree and must be fought tooth and nail along with corruption as is being considered now.It indicates that this type of considerations by TEAM ANNA that due to unethical attacks from some corners, has lost strength to face the onslaughts. This may be more SATVIK for the team to devote their energies in spreading the massages of what other ailments the NATION IS INFESTED from, such as wrong political system which is the cause of numberless political outfits who keep busy in dividing the society for their own selfish ends, wrong ELECTION PROCESS where by contestants have to spend lot of money and to recover the money spent, may indulge in many types of corrupt practices, CONTROL OVER SPREAD OF POPULATION, pollution of all types, rush of persons at all places including trains, roads, hospitals, schools, etc. and the continuous take over of agricultural land in order to accommodate the increasing population and creating more infrastructure, the day to day increase in consumption, the dereliction of duty at all levels from bottom to the top etc. We hope this will make the movement more meaningful. In the meantime TEAM ANNA As we see is getting BAD NAME for being too much impatient to see that LOKPAL BILL as suggested by them is passed. It may be more prudent to permit the system to think coolly and do their work on the subject. The team should overlook all criticisms from vested interests and should not dissipate their energies on such matters.

SUPREMACY OF THE ELECTED ONES
A few days back a movement was started against CORRUPTION under the leadership of shri ANNAHAZARE by some committed/selfless persons who volunteered to sacrifice their comforts so that the present and the future generations in the country do not have to face this DEMON OF CORRUPTION in their day to day life . Shri hazare a 74 year old social activist who decided not to marry and remain free for the people. His whole life has been a selfless service for the sake of others. During the course of this movement, people from all walks of life gave their support for the cause. There were cries through out the COUNTRY impressing upon the Governments and the elected persons to hear the VOICE OF ANGUISH from the citizens. For the purpose SHRI HAZARE also took a vow to go for indefinite hunger strike. The purpose was simply to awaken the political class by JOLTS. But they decided to remain so insensitive that the old man was continuing to be on fast. The days were passing by. The man was loosing on his health. Many tried to impress upon the political class headed by the ministers and the Prime minister to respond positively to the very JUSTIFIED AND REASONABLE demand of organizers of the movement. But the political class seemed dilly-dallying the issue even at the risk of health and even life of shri ANNAJI. There were gatherings in lacks all around shri ANNAJI as well as cries through out the length and breadth of the COUNTRY simply requesting for justice. Since response from the political class was not forth coming in a decent way, some, out of ANGUISH against the political class might have spoken some harsh words against them and only tried to turn the mirror towards their face. Might be that some in the elected class could not relish seeing their own faces in the mirror and expressed resentments in the name of OVERLAPING /CHALLANGING “PREVILAGES OF THE ELECTED CLASS. Honestly the political class could take these words in SPORTSMAN’s SPIRIT and could have decided to introspect. They instead became RED FACED and moved motion of privileges against some very active members of the TEAM ANNA. In this connection it is also thinkable that during expressing resentments people speak loudly or even very loudly which might have hurt the so called manniyas. The privilege move can take any turn, still being members of the elected bodies and being part of the teams of lawmakers, it may be good to do some serious thinking as to why going by actions of this class of persons/the happenings in these temples of law making, general public is not eligible to make such assessments. Some instances/ happenings are quoted here after:-
There have been cases in the PARLIAMENT when its members were charged for taking money in order to put some particular questions in the house.
There have been instances when an ex PM has been said to have bribed heavily to some MPs to save the GOVT. from NO CONFIDENCE vote. Then the bribe takers were also not barred from accepting ministerial post at the centre or in the state even as CM. Even after knowing such happenings, no laws were made to ensure non recurrence of such happenings.
Most recently bundles of CURRENCY NOTES were waived in the PARLIAMENT by some MPs who alleged that money was given to them again by some MPs to defect or abstain from voting in order to save the GOVT. on motion of NO CONFIDANCE. The case is still sub-judice, and whatever may be the final verdict, but still it seems certain that in this case only some MANNIYAS are involved.
This is very general assessment that about more than 150 MPs in the present house of parliament are of dubious character and some are reported involved in heinous crimes, such as MURDERS/ RAPES and EXTORSIONS etc.The positions in most states in the country too are reported no different. In some cases such persons hold/or have been holding ministerial positions as well. But to curb such tendencies and to clean the systems, actions /thoughts by this class are generally not there.
Going by the media reports, it is known that during discussions in PARLIAMENT as well as the STATE ASSEMBLIES percentage of attendance is generally negligible, except when they are forced by WHIPS or when there are going to be MOTIONS OF CONDOLENCE on the death of some present or ex-member of the house. This only indicates that most are not at all interested in the welfare/safety and development of the nation. When they attend the house it is generally under compulsions or when they know that nothing serious is to be discussed, as if serious discussions and framing of the LAWS are none of their jobs. In most cases where bills for LAW MAKING are put up these are passed enblock and without discussions, what to talk of any serious discussions.
Do the country men not see that serious problems such as EXPLOSIVE SPREAD OF POPULATION, PULLUSIONS OF ALL KINDS i.e. air, noise, dirt, congestions at all places including schools, hospitals, on roads, in market places etc. are never discussed by LAW MAKERS, indicating no concern of the so called MANNIYAS for problems being faced by the general public . Though they seem very much concerned about their own and their nears and dears’ personal security and benefits.
Many a time there are PENDAMONIUMS IN the LEGISLATURES and PARLIAMENT while TRIVIAL AND PERSONAL issues are talked about. Members are generally not permitted to express themselves as there are disruptions from the other side of the speaker. Many a time even chairs, mikes etc are seen flouting in the house as are thrown on others [all members of the same house]. This some times has resulted in physical injuries also to some. Just now even some MPs including MINISTERS IN OFFICE are in jail, at the centre as well as in some states., on charges of CORRUPTION/MISAPPROPRIATION and rapes and murders as well. This also includes DERELICTION OF DUTIES. Even outside the ASSEMBLIES /PARLIAMENT or other subordinate bodies down up to the PANCHAYATS levels general behavior of some elected ones does not inspire the public to tread the path of SATVIKTA,TRUTHFULNESS, ,COMMITMENT TO JOB, PATRIOTISM and to remain as LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. As most these persons keep engaged in MUD SLINGING/FAULT FINDING/ BLAME GAMES with others at the same time themselves TREATING THE NATION as THEIR PERSONASL PROPERTY having all the rights to flout the set rules, out of VANITY AND EXALTED EGO tread under the feet of ‘AHANKAR’ all the LAWS supposedly framed by this very class. Not only this, many a time their nears and dears too are found behaving similarly.
Now the question is that can such acts and behavior of these MANNIYAS bring the desired respect and sympathy for the elected ones, for which serious discussions and enactments of law are the need of the time, so that LAW MAKERS get fully engaged in lawmaking and act in the BEST INTERESTS of the Nation even sacrificing their personal interests and comforts so that no one has to speak ill of them and express anger. Such conditions as detailed here to fore EXIST MOSTLY at all levels of elected bodies.
On the basis of what has been mentioned here to fore, and in case the desire is to see that the country becomes free from all MALADIES/SICKNESSES and INFECTIOUS DESEASES as these exist now, peoples’ right to live peaceful life is to be ensured , COUNTRY has to develop on all parameters so that the present generation do not always have to be apprehensive of the coming troubles and we have to leave a prosperous legacy for our future generations, then minimum need is that every body irrespective of the possessions and position one holds has to live as a common citizen, face the troubles what so ever are there without any GOVERNMENT provided BODY GUARDS and any special markings on the vehicles they move on without display of any BEACONS . All position holders instead must move in the public even when moving in vehicles should generally keep the window panes open so as to see and feel every thing themselves, and develop the tendencies to correct and develop where ever so required as COMMON CITIZEN
JUST NOW THE COUNTRY AS WELL AS THE POLITICAL CLASS HAS DEVELOPED THE TENDENCIES TO OFFER AND GIVE FREEBEES AND THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL ALWAYS WISHING DOLES FROM THE GOVERNMENTS. THIS TENDENCY NEEDS BEPUT A BRAKE TO AND INSTEAD ALL MUST BE EXHORTED TO WORK FOR WHAT SO EVER THEY DESIRE TO HAVE. THE DUTIES MUST TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER RIGHTS, THIS MUST ALWAYS BE DECLARED BY ALL THE POLITICAL PARTIES AS WELL AS THE LAWMAKING BODIES.OUR CONSTITUTION MANDATES RIGHT TO EQUALITY FOR ALL CITIZENS,THEN HOW IT IS THAT SPECIAL CATEGORY IN THE NAME OF VIPs/VVIPs have been created who enjoy many special privileges in respect of security /travels etc. This need be treated as violation of the CONSTITUTION and anomaly needs be fought out. Hope the country men as well as TEAM ANNA are conscious of if and have added it to their AGENDA.

WHY YET AN OTHER POLITICAL OUTFIT? ANNAJI!
Going by the media reports it is gathered that the great social activist Shri ANNA HAZARE, who is presently fighting tooth and nail against CORRUPTION, as it exists in the country, has declared that he would back a CLEAN political party formed by GOOD AND LIKEMINDED PEOPLE of different political parties. This declaration of SHRI HAZARE is indicative of the desire to see still an other POLITICAL PARTY in the country hoping that this new outfit may come forward to free the nation from the dirt that has been created by the present dispensations. As is well known that the country already has a numberless political parties working from gram panchayats to the level of parliament. All parties claim to be working for the good of some or the other sections of society, though none declares to be working for the SOCIETY AND NATION as a whole. Bad luck of the nation is that these outfits generally seem not concerned with anybody’s upliftment of the whole NATION. Most are busy in dividing the populace on the basis of CASTE, COMMUNITY OR LANGUAGE AND SO ON and to keep themselves in power by hook or crook. The parties not in power too do not generally seem concerned with anything good for the CITIZENS. Most of the times all political outfits remain busy in BLAME GAMES AND LEGPULLING hoping to get attention of their particular VOTE BANK. As the number of political parties in the country already is too high, it may not help prop up yet another, despite the best intentions and hope. The general observation also leads the people to come to the conclusion that it is not due to the political parties or their members that so much of dirt, negativeness and other such malaise have polluted the atmosphere in the country. All the problems in the country seem to be due to BAD AND INAFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE. This ineffectiveness again seems due to existence of numberless political outfits mostly created as business concerns with the purpose to secure places in governments so as to get unlimited benefits as are being provided to such persons and also to shield them from the public glare about their bad conducts and ill earnings and loot. Most join together to form GOVERNMENTS IN Coalitions. All partners in the coalitions generally remain busy in fulfilling reasonable or unreasonable demands of their respective VOTE BABK. In the process GOOD GOVERNANCE becomes causality. This compels the system to keep ears and eyes tightly closed on the actions of their VOTE BANK. This also helps in the increase in CORRUPTION as existing in the country now. The need as such seems not to help in creation of NEW POLITICAL PARTIES, rather to ensure CHANGE IN POLITICAL SYSTEM AND ELECTION PROCESS in the country. Some suggestions for the purpose are detailed here to after:-
-Let the number of political parties in the country from lowest levels to the STATES AND CENTRE be pegged to two only.
-The elections at all levels can be held for these TWO PARTIES only, instead of the individuals as is the practice now. On the basis of percentage of votes secured by each of the two parties, they may nominate their representatives for the elected posts, ensuring reasonable spread of candidates through out the country. In case of ELECTIONS not held for the individual candidates, rather they are nominated by the parties on the basis of percentage of votes secured; the nominated person will not have to spend individually in the process of election. As is the general feeling each election CONTESTENT have to spend declared and undeclared money in lacks of Rupees. Then on getting elected they are sure to make good the incurred expenses by all fair and unfair means, further contributing to the spread of CORRUPTION.
AGE LIMIT for the VOTERS can be fixed at minimum 25 years. The VOTING AGE of 18 years fixed now seems not very practical as mostly by this age, maturity to participate in ELECTION PROCESS does not develop.
For voters, minimum LITERACY LEVELS TOO CAN be fixed as 8th or 10th class pass. For those considered qualified to represent the people and to be part of the GROUP OF LAW MAKERS ,minimum literacy level can be fixed as 10th class pass for GRAM PANCHAYATS , Graduation or above for STATE ASSEMBLIES AND CENTRAL PARLIAMENT. None with NEGATIVE TENDENCIES and criminal records/ thinking be permitted to be nominated for these AUGUST HOUSES.
CASTE AND/COMMUNITIES need not be given preference over CALIBRE. Rather the reverse need be prescribed now by law. ENOUGH IS enough as for giving preference to any thing over CALIBRE. Those considered for nominations must necessarily be filled with full knowledge of MANAVDHARAM/RASHTRA DHARAM AND RAJ DHARAMs etc.
All considered for nominations to the elected bodies must by law be made to retire on the last day of the month in which 70 years of age is attained. Mostly by this age reflexes in the BODY AND MIND become weak, so decision making may affect. The party to which that particular person has been nominated should have the right by law of replacement of their choice. Similarly nominated person having become invalid due to BAD HEALTH-- PHYSICAL OR MENTAL/ death, should arrange replacement. With the implementation of above mentioned systems, need for midterm polls and UPPER HOUSES in states and central PARLIAMENT shall be obviated. This shall save a lot of PUBLIC MONEY on these unneeded decorative and elections. With the above mentioned suggestions implemented, elections for all the elected bodies from PANCHAYATS to PARLIAMENT can be held in one go. This way lot of troubles and inconveniences to public and Burdon on public exchequer can be saved.
As for the two suggested political parties their EXECUTIVES can also have educated people possessing literacy levels of not less than GRADUATION. Post graduation and specialization in certain subjects can have additional preference. These two political parties can be headed by VERY EXPERIENCED AND SELFLESS persons but they too must relinquish the posts after attaining 75 years of age. Though as advisers and permanent special invitees, some relaxations can be considered, no head of the system need be permitted by law to hold such post for more than two consecutive terms, each term not exceeding three years in any case. As at present many, rather most political outfits are working as PROPRIETORSHIP CONCERNS of some individuals and their families. This totally negates the democratic process, which is really very harmful. It need be made MANDATORY to hold free and fare elections in these two suggested political parties at regular intervals, again with the stipulation that none is to hold the same office for more than TWO terms and after one relinquishing the post in no way has to pass on to the members of the same family. Both the political parties can be funded from PUBLIC EXCHEQUER and for ELECTIONEERING, help of print and electronic media only should be permitted so as to save money. Sri Anna’s desire to have an other political party and demand for RIGHT TO RECALL AND Reject are automatically covered under these suggestions. Just now these demands of Annaji, if accepted may create more problems than solved.
To achieve the goal as mentioned hereto fore, there may be arguments that for all these suggestions to be implemented, changes have to be made in the written CONSTITUTION as it exists now. Basically all laws /rules or the constitutions are meant for the good of the nation which consists of society and the persons. For the purpose periodical changes are the needed process, unless man has to encroach upon the DOMAIN OF NATURE. The present constitution too was drafted more than sixty years from now when we had no experience of our own GOVERNANCE, after CENTURIES OF SLAVERY .and as such might not had visualized the conditions as these exist now, As the person taking birth go back to the original after passage of years, as the old buildings crumble with the passage of times, or are brought down to accommodate to suit the present needs and atmosphere ,so it has to be with all man made items, writings including laws/rules as well as constitutions of the country. Further request is that no names be attached to it as we see in the case of our most valuable and full of wisdom THE VEDAS. The CONSTITUTION can be declared as based on present needs and COLLECTIVE WISDOM of the country men. Provisions can also be made that for the TWO SUGGESTED political parties, decisions have to be taken by the group of persons (NAMED AS HIGH COMMAND consisting of 10/20 most dedicated persons) who should be all powerful still leverage can be given for thoughts and expressions of individuals but in camera meeting only to maintain discipline in the parties. To air dissents in public can be treated as bad and unacceptable.

-Let the number of political parties in the country from lowest levels to the STATES AND CENTRE be pegged to two only.
-The elections at all levels can be held for these TWO PARTIES only, instead of the individuals as is the practice now. On the basis of percentage of votes secured by each of the two parties, they may nominate their representatives for the elected posts, ensuring reasonable spread of candidates through out the country. In case of ELECTIONS not held for the individual candidates, rather they are nominated by the parties on the basis of percentage of votes secured; the nominated person will not have to spend individually in the process of election. As is the general feeling each election CONTESTENT have to spend declared and undeclared money in lacks of Rupees. Then on getting elected they are sure to make good the incurred expenses by all fair and unfair means, further contributing to the spread of CORRUPTION.
AGE LIMIT for the VOTERS can be fixed at minimum 25 years. The VOTING AGE of 18 years fixed now seems not very practical as mostly by this age, maturity to participate in ELECTION PROCESS does not develop.
For voters, minimum LITERACY LEVELS TOO CAN be fixed as 8th or 10th class pass. For those considered qualified to represent the people and to be part of the GROUP OF LAW MAKERS ,minimum literacy level can be fixed as 10th class pass for GRAM PANCHAYATS , Graduation or above for STATE ASSEMBLIES AND CENTRAL PARLIAMENT. None with NEGATIVE TENDENCIES and criminal records/ thinking be permitted to be nominated for these AUGUST HOUSES.
CASTE AND/COMMUNITIES need not be given preference over CALIBRE. Rather the reverse need be prescribed now by law. ENOUGH IS enough as for giving preference to any thing over CALIBRE. Those considered for nominations must necessarily be filled with full knowledge of MANAVDHARAM/RASHTRA DHARAM AND RAJ DHARAMs etc.
All considered for nominations to the elected bodies must by law be made to retire on the last day of the month in which 70 years of age is attained. Mostly by this age reflexes in the BODY AND MIND become weak, so decision making may affect. The party to which that particular person has been nominated should have the right by law of replacement of their choice. Similarly nominated person having become invalid due to BAD HEALTH-- PHYSICAL OR MENTAL/ death, should arrange replacement. With the implementation of above mentioned systems, need for midterm polls and UPPER HOUSES in states and central PARLIAMENT shall be obviated. This shall save a lot of PUBLIC MONEY on these unneeded decorative and elections. With the above mentioned suggestions implemented, elections for all the elected bodies from PANCHAYATS to PARLIAMENT can be held in one go. This way lot of troubles and inconveniences to public and Burdon on public exchequer can be saved.
As for the two suggested political parties their EXECUTIVES can also have educated people possessing literacy levels of not less than GRADUATION. Post graduation and specialization in certain subjects can have additional preference. These two political parties can be headed by VERY EXPERIENCED AND SELFLESS persons but they too must relinquish the posts after attaining 75 years of age. Though as advisers and permanent special invitees, some relaxations can be considered, no head of the system need be permitted by law to hold such post for more than two consecutive terms, each term not exceeding three years in any case. As at present many, rather most political outfits are working as PROPRIETORSHIP CONCERNS of some individuals and their families. This totally negates the democratic process, which is really very harmful. It need be made MANDATORY to hold free and fare elections in these two suggested political parties at regular intervals, again with the stipulation that none is to hold the same office for more than TWO terms and after one relinquishing the post in no way has to pass on to the members of the same family. Both the political parties can be funded from PUBLIC EXCHEQUER and for ELECTIONEERING, help of print and electronic media only should be permitted so as to save money. Sri Anna’s desire to have an other political party and demand for RIGHT TO RECALL AND Reject are automatically covered under these suggestions. Just now these demands of Annaji, if accepted may create more problems than solved.
To achieve the goal as mentioned hereto fore, there may be arguments that for all these suggestions to be implemented, changes have to be made in the written CONSTITUTION as it exists now. Basically all laws /rules or the constitutions are meant for the good of the nation which consists of society and the persons. For the purpose periodical changes are the needed process, unless man has to encroach upon the DOMAIN OF NATURE. The present constitution too was drafted more than sixty years from now when we had no experience of our own GOVERNANCE, after CENTURIES OF SLAVERY .and as such might not had visualized the conditions as these exist now, As the person taking birth go back to the original after passage of years, as the old buildings crumble with the passage of times, or are brought down to accommodate to suit the present needs and atmosphere ,so it has to be with all man made items, writings including laws/rules as well as constitutions of the country. Further request is that no names be attached to it as we see in the case of our most valuable and full of wisdom THE VEDAS. The CONSTITUTION can be declared as based on present needs and COLLECTIVE WISDOM of the country men. Provisions can also be made that for the TWO SUGGESTED political parties, decisions have to be taken by the group of persons (NAMED AS HIGH COMMAND consisting of 10/20 most dedicated persons) who should be all powerful still leverage can be given for thoughts and expressions of individuals but in camera meeting only to maintain discipline in the parties. To air dissents in public can be treated as bad and unacceptable.
