Nagging political thoughts

Whatever happens to our fundamental rights? Mayawati not allowing Sonia Gandhi to hold political rally in her own constituency and today saying that Ms. Gandhi's wish of going to jail would have been fulfilled, yada-yada-yada. Niggling politics leads to truncated political life but politicians like her wont know that or so it appears. Our country does not need such immature leaders. We need magnanimous and progressive leaders or at least an uninterrupted show and manifestation of it.There was one more instance where we saw this threshold crossed. Raj Thackeray's comment about Jaya Bhaduri: Guddi Buddhi ho gayi par akal nahi aayi. I am laughing. Ironical laughter it is. Its so easy for some people to cross all lines of basic civility and in-built bounds and boundaries. There are certain things that should not ever be said, this is one of those statements. Its unpardonable in the profession he is in. A profession requiring to be perpetually politically right and being a brilliant presenter at the same time.The man suffers from chronic attention-deficit syndrome and more often than not, resorts to unimpressive and unintelligent ways to draw focus on himself. He could do some genuine good by creating more and more employment opportunities for his people, its sad he is trapped in most avoidable gigs. And why don't we see any action taken against such domineering and dictatorial conduct in a theoretically democratic nation like ours? High time, Indian administration should get a backbone. It will make us all prouder citizens.
