Sir,
Every Indian is obliged to vow before the martyrs and leaders, who leaving no stone unturned, freed India from the foreign yoke. Their supreme sacrifices and vision of free India, have enabled us all to heave sigh of relief from the slumber of slavery for centuries.
Immortal intellectuals like Baba Sahib Ambedkar and numerous other luminaries, thickly saturated with nationalism, framed our sacred constitution to enable our rulers/politicians to run Govts in a better way. Obviously every rule, enshrined therein, is purported to help and promote our political system.
Perhaps, the framers of the constitution had not foreseen that with the passage of time, solidariy, nationalism, sense of sacrifice and love for the country would decline to the extent that self-centredness, communalism nepotism, regionalism and materialism like evils would prevail.
Truly, true democracy rests on numbers and not on the quality of its citizens.Evidences are there when duly elected Govt was made to resign by one vote in Parliament and thus huge state exchequer was staked for political gain, which exhibited a grave political apathy. Multi-party system,as exists, create political instabilities. Every Dick, Tom and Harry starts framing its own party, when fails to materialise its agenda. What happens when numerous such parties, when join together weaken the ruling party and even main opposition party doesn’t remain untouched. Multi party system, particularly in India, where different religions, cultures and languages exist as observed, do not work well. Even most useful and enlightened citizens, politically ripe and educationally rich fail to deliver thier services to the nation, only because they aren’t in the ruling party.
In this way, grand human values and energy goes unutilised.
Therefore, limited political parties are considered the best for unity and solidarity, both in peace and war. Fissiparous tendencies always prove detrimental. Confused voters often get misled by numerous parties in the fray and disable the citizens to cast their votes to the deserving candidates. Hence, the need for reforms in party system can’t be exagerated.
