Indian Politics goes high-tech!

Has Advani been staring at you off late too often from your computer screens?

Is the CPI(M) website painting your monitor red?

Is your inbox getting bombarded with too many SMSs from political parties?

If this is not enough, be prepared for the 600 internet kiosks that the Congress is planning to come up with.

Impressive!

Our politicians, irrespective of age, have all of a sudden become advanced. Unfortunately, this advancement is limited only to technology. Ideologically, they still seem to be primitive. Or else, why should they still play politics based on religion, caste, region and gender?

Why should they call women going out at night adventurous and criticise them for wearing lipstick? Why should they chase off Bihari bhaiyyas and create a state exclusively for the Marathi Manoos? Why should they get scared at night on seeing Karimullah and Nazarullah in a country where every party claims to be “secular”.

The politicians have turned tech- savvy to woo the youth. But, what they do not seem to understand is that, they need to become ideo-savvy to impress them. Same is true for the new breed of politicians as well. Youth is considered to be the future of a nation. Apart from being tech-driven, they have to propel revolutionary ideas too.

  2. Why not talk of what youth can do to replace these politicians rather than criticizing them when you know they are there to stay? My point is - you have got to be IN the system to change the system? talking of technology? well, here is a techie explanation to my thought - you got to know LINUX to repair LINUX.
    DIG WHAT I SAID??

  4. Britishers have left but unfortunately their divide and rule policy still lingers..tech savvy to woo the youth...reservations to woo the lower castes..special grants to woo the minorities...unless this discriminatory wooing business is annulled, true democracy will be a distant dream...

  5. Indian don't caste their vote but vote their cast. This prevails in our mindset and well used by politician. We at every individual level needs to change, going tech-savvy is a welcome change but political credo needs to be paced along with.
