Indian Puppetry Politics
I had always wondered why Sonia Gandhi never went on to take the post of Prime Minister of India. But when we saw her ruling India using Manmohan Singh as her front it was something that though not a shock but came to us as a revelation. I thought then she might be interested in the post of President of India. There were never signs of her wanting to be the President of India. Then we had Prathiba Patil made as the President of India. Sonia Gandhi has now control over the President of India and the Prime Minister of India. She can now rule both the posts without having to accept the duties that come with it. Everyone can see that though our new President and Prime Minister are brilliant people they are manipulated like puppets. India has now come to a stage where politics has reached heights of corruption and manipulation.
We had a great President before this who was not manipulated by anyone. He knew that interacting with the Public was the best thing to do when he was the President. He always knew that kids are people who should be inspired to lead a life of importance. He had inspired many individuals and most of them were kids who glad to have a President who had knowledge beyond others. Many people were proud to call him their President just because he was a man who had been well educated and was a teacher which is a rarity in Indian Politics. He gave people the hope that we might actually achieve after 60 years of Independence but the hopes shattered when he didn’t continue as the President. I had hoped we could have had a Prime Minister like him who could actually make things happen because of the amount of responsibility that comes with it. I actually do hope he does great in the field of teaching while he still teaches in Anna University here.
