Thankyou Zornslemon. I used to think that I am the aam aadmi seeing that I pay taxes, obey the law and have tried to teach my children to be truthful, kind and honest. But it seems that I am mistaken. Indian politics has thrived on keeping vast numbers of people uneducated and desperately poor so that they can be exploited during elections and treated like manure at other times. This borne out by the concept of VIP and VVIP whereby politicians surround themselves with AK47 toting commandoes, demand right of way even at Tirupati and kill or beat up anyone who would dare to criticise. Last week goons belonging to the eldest son of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu attacked a newspaper office for printing opinion polls showing that the eldest son is deeply unpopular. Three people died while the police stood by and watched. Is anyone going to hang for this I wonder. In this land of heroic myths the aam aadmi is a mythical beast in whose name you can con the people while you continue to exploit and paratise the people. This beast allows them to continue to tax us at the highest level in the world while buying luxury jets for travel. For the last few months people in South Delhi are receiving just ten minutes of water every day with not a drop every few days. Every family is having to buy water from tankers at Rs. 100 for a thousand litres. Meanwhile our Chief Minister is abroad to attend a conference and no doubt staying pretty cool. We desperately need a citizen's charter which clearly defines the powers of the politicians and puts the aam aadmi as the VVIP. I have some ideas but dare I say them?
