The unprecedented immoral exposure of leaders in India today has brought tremendous amount of censure to the institution of politics that has ventured to corrupt in the wake of absolute power corrupting absolutely. The shocking disclosure of corruption scams, conspiracies, and nepotism in the largest democracy by the leaders is absurd to turn politics into a play of puppetry that reckons only the role of power instrumental adjacent to people; it is hard to recognize that after six decades of freedom Indian democracy is witnessing the degeneration or its maturing enough to come across such instances for one of the Asia’s big player in the world.
The moral crisis is not only with India but a phenomenon around the world; It is awful that every nation to its credit has got some misdemeanor practices in one or the other form in the pages of history whether it may be the great democracy of USA standing for its highest values to only practice racial discrimination in the shadow, The united kingdom that is champion to give the principles of west minister to the world to only picture misappropriate of funds scandals and recent saga of Rupert Murdoch, Britain and media, the immoral actions of European leaders giving up to their temptations, the isolated endeavors of Germany that seldom come to light, the hypocrisy of Russia including the powerful China that is roaring for its development story to rise and embarrass itself for the curtailment of rights and freedom of expression in the dark. These sad but true events are the basic nuances in the world which reflects; is there any society which upholds the values and just in correction to follow its past ideals for sustainable future? perhaps it is an Utopian quest in the era were vested interests matters in the name of values and justice the extravaganza speaks for revenge and self profit with lingering wish to lead the Geo political field.
The other contrast factor to it the terror epidemic against humanity that makes humanity more vulnerable to fear and dishonor against it which is under the race for its own extinction. India also fought with set of values against British for freedom but since our independence we wrestle with shifting problems than sustainable solutions, the national freedom was the goal than came reorganization and industrialization in taking the ailing nation from the gifted wound of partition, as we grew our internal solutions remain temporal but external problems became permanent. it may be either fighting Pakistan, china, or insurgent in Kashmir, or mapping the vulnerability (with persistent problems like population poverty, unemployment, and education etc) to maneuver independent India in united developed and prosperous with its hallmark identity of unity and diversity, the dark period of emergency in power lust destroyed the principle of democracy, from the horrors of emergency the new hope of economic revolution and new challenges of communalism and coalition politics making more easy for power equations and more difficult for people to understand the equanimity, the moral crisis in leaders remain a breakthrough to adapt honest and austere values in the political career resulting into India part of the incredible world with more problems and less solutions that kept engage in finding strategies than solutions to restore our dignity and only delivered shameful basket of our misdeeds.
These instances are contributing to the global shame to wipe out these pitfalls from the public memory only to recollect these events in the pages of history but the more apathetic gesture is the eastern democracies in compare to western democracies are in imitation to believe that anything and everything can be done in the name of democracy. The situation in India is so widely spread that it will take more effort and time to develop the maturity among people to understand particularly in urban rural divide about the white collar exploitation in the name of power and people. The rising vices in the political society leading to the systemic chaos to corrupt practices in the institution has brought great embarrassment to the national dignity against the tryst which was achieved after huge labor and sacrifice. The growing sense of parochialism over nationalism is swiftly affecting the sovereignty, peace and integrity of the country.
The incredible leaders who toiled to unite country have changed to leaders in India today who wish everything to be disinvested and divided in the name of power, progress and profit; the people apparently are forced on the crossroads and progress for people has increasingly became a cliché for vested motives. These developments are blamed to global scenario but how can be such shameful developments of illegality and immorality can be substituted in the name of global scenario against its own people. The regretful irony is that we express a lot of concern, but we fail in our actions, we know to sympathize what we ignore is to empathize The declining of values in the advent of revolution in life style with technology has changed the societal paradigm that is increasingly becoming dependent to ‘tutor syndrome’ but how values can be thought or character could be tailored the leaders who hold power in the interest of nation have to recognize their conscience to serve the people and stand by to the allegiance for God than playing the show cards and accumulating privileges in the name of power against common man.
The social evils always condone and debated for solutions with shifting the responsibility to the next generation with the optimistic assurances and hopeless hypocrisy that reveal there is no accountability against the events that passed in the name of power cheating people, the justifiable eye wash is that everyone and every institution like civil society organization, political parties and media fashion their benefits and forget about delivery of justice or how is the system change.
Robert frost said in one of his expressions that during his whole experience of life if he has to summarize it in three words about Life it would be ‘life goes on’ similarly the resilience among people is the helplessness to only act once in five years or adopt to the exploitation that goes on maybe it is not the resilience but the absence of attitude or incapability to stand against the powerful system to be the change themselves first to witness the change at the surrounding.
The need is to replace manage credibility of individual and inspire to stand for their rights for change. The hope for change though lost its way to find an objective for new beginning in absence of ethics yet humanity lingers to anticipate new start in view to the significant events like an African American becoming the president of most powerful country in the world. A paper hawker raising to the president post in republic of India, a girl from the small town marrying to the prince of Great Britain. The word optimism has got the magic to make impossible into possible and give history the unexpected.
