Professionals Party of India, will you vote for it ?

I would like to make it clear in the beginning itself, that simply because I argue on the negative site, it does not mean that I am not appreciative of the good spirit behind the move. The very spontaneous urge to do something about the political system in our country deserves praise.But it is not enough.

When such attempts are made, it is usually spoiled by over-cautious friends. The arguments like, "Let us make a good start and then touch sensitive matters"; "Let us 'catch' power first and then we would announce revolutionary things"; "We have to be pragmatic. Otherwise we cannot even raise our heads." and things like that.

Many such measures become 'stillborn' due to lack of courage, vigor and determination. I am not just finding fault with the people who have come forward to do some work. But the truth is that unless the initial steps are forceful enough, they would have to meet a premature death. Right from Swarajya Party led by Rajaji, our country's history has numerous examples for this.

After Independence Jawaharlal Nehru became virtually 'uncrowned king'. Had he taken a few really courageous steps, a number of problems could have been completely avoided. But one who wants to appease everybody could not achieve anything.

For example, take caste system. It could have been a very useful social system once; but in modern times it is not acceptable. Nehru was also not for caste system. He could have wiped out that in a trice but why he did not do it? It was because the crooked politicians want the caste system to prolong. They have actually made it permanent after Independence by linking it with all governmental help and reservations. Finding it very handy for them they would not let it go. Many such things could be said but I stop here for want of space.

Why not bring corruption to zero level within a month? Is it not possible for the governmental machinery? Won't common man like it? They won't do because the politicians need it.

A new party can enlist the support of common men and come to power, if it is serious enough, bold enough, and truthful enough. After going through the website, I am of the view that the approach of the ppt is soft. It is not powerful and aggressive enough. Sweet promises are usual and people are familiar with them. There is no proof for real 'anger' and 'commitment' against all the atrocities going on in this country. So I will not vote for it.
