Democrazy

Yes, the topic reflects how the Indian political scenario is being viewed. Though nothing different from rest of the world, it is how everyone perceives it.

True, our politicians are riding and enjoying the power either by creating or by fueling the existing caste/religion diversification. To move out from this, we need to know why our political system is more towards caste/religion. Rooting to ancient days, a strong domination of landlords(a large dominant caste represented here) and their suppression on strivers would have seeded this scenario. From this time, our politician could not think of anything to get the vote just to segregate the people with caste and religion. The caste-based and religion based politics has a great history starting from the church intervention in age-old politics to latest caste-based reservations.

Do we change the face of politics to focus more on grassroot issues? A more debatable topic from blogathonindia. This is perhaps more doable in saying or writing, however quite difficult to achieve. Changing the out-dated constitutional law would be quite powerful, but this solution is not feasible since the change of constitutional law again depends on politicians.This won't happen (office of profit bill). With every election, we have atleast one party getting created based on caste. The Election commission should ban the party which is canvassing the people on caste-based, also should ban the party if it could not claim some minimum percent of the votes.This might put a check for any new party formation based on caste.

We can't change the existing politicians, however can inject new bloods with really altogether new set of ideologies which does not include caste,race, religion etc. I can sense this as quite happening, with the rise of party like lok-paritran.
