Especially in a democracy where the voter percentage is just 50%. Getting more voters is a challenge. But we need to get it. We have to vote. We have to vote out inefficiency.Lifeisbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643427008073987964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36797381.post-80012534815296146612010-03-19T01:09:34.168+05:302010-03-19T01:09:34.168+05:30I agree Sumit. so-taka.

Valid argument and I hope someday we would be able to zero in on a system that allows that. <br />Apart from getting intelligent, capable people, a democratic system also needs to ensure a heterogeneous group representing diverse opinions and voices. This is all that the reservation intends to do. Let’s not pretend that it would increase or decrease the competence of the house.<br />Reservation at best is a lazy shortcut- great in intent but questionable in efficacy. My view is that reservation fails to achieve its goals because it lacks basic checks and balances. Two obvious ones are<br />- any reservation policy should come with a clear expiry clause. If it successfully achieves its goals then we don’t need it any more but if it doesn’t then we don’t need it anymore. If we do need to extend it, it should be put to vote again with a “no-resuscitation” clause. <br />- those who (or their immediate family member) are or have been already been on an elected post should not be allowed to seek the benefit again <br />Now the question is, how do we get intelligent, capable people to the parliament. So Dude, my question to you is- what would it take to get you to run an election?Sumithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248776287701547690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36797381.post-56380510096073813022010-03-13T01:57:40.112+05:302010-03-13T01:57:40.112+05:30Hi durlov..I have written a post on today's De...Hi durlov..I have written a post on today's Delhi HC decision ordering the Armed Forces to give permanent commission to women. would you care to go through it?<br />thanks. <br />http://nda992.blog.co.in/2010/03/13/delhi-hc-orders-permenant-commision-for-women-in-the-armed-forces/anirbanhttp://nda992.blog.co.in/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36797381.post-38250264123776953502010-03-12T21:18:23.530+05:302010-03-12T21:18:23.530+05:30Hi dude,

I ...Thanks for the superlatives. Much appreciated.<br /><br />I think, its still not so hopeless. but ya it sucks big time. we have to quickly, genuinely act with a vision and take some hard decisions.<br /><br />Enough of arm-chair politics and moderate thinking. <br /><br />The economy has boomed (quite boomed), now it is the turn of politics. The political governance has to emerge out of nadirs like wasting time on another reservation.Lifeisbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01643427008073987964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36797381.post-17019060192840856782010-03-09T20:01:44.233+05:302010-03-09T20:01:44.233+05:30One of the best blogs I have read for months....
