[Reader-list] Question regarding women's reservation bill

[Rakesh Iyer]

Dear Taraprakash

It is very easy to say that one should contest as an independent candidate.
If you really wish to know how elections are played like a drama, please
read P.Sainath on www.indiatogether.org, for Maharashtra elections in 2009
(both Lok Sabha and assembly). Read on how millions were spent in the name
of publicity by the candidates which were never accounted for, and in what
great ways. An independent candidate will never be able to do that, unless
of course he/she is corrupt.

Indian democracy is a joke, not a democracy please! Even the elections are
manipulated like anything. From media management to distributing sarees
before the public, our democracy is indeed a joke. And when all of us are to
blame for it, where can we hide at all?
