One is facing a murder charge, another has been arrested for abduction, while a third is fighting a robbery case. Welcome to India's general election, where nearly a fifth of the 5,500 candidates face criminal charges.The Indian Constitution allows politicians facing criminal cases to contest polls, and critics say mafia dons and corrupt regional bosses are using their money and power to garner votes.
Fear and reverence for politicians facing criminal charges play heavily in the minds of voters in India.These candidates sometimes control large areas where state facilities are lacking. In some places, they play the role of "Robin Hood", fixing low charges for services such as doctors' fees.
Experts say it reflects how corruption and politics have co-existed in India for decades.
Lets discuss more on this.....

I believe so..that common man has lost his voice in this dirty game of politics. Today common man is exploited to its core the politicians rape the common man in all different ways.

We all are, also responsible for spreading this all over the country. We hardly oppose to anybody for doing wrong things whether they are politicians or our dear ones or near ones.

I'd rather say People use Democracy as an excuse for inefficiency or sheer laziness to get up and sort something out. Not everybody does that but No person can stand up and say "I never blamed the other for something I couldn't do." Its all a...

Fixing problems is difficult in a democracy, argue Indian officials. True, compared to Beijing, which can decide to build a road today and start on it tomorrow, Indian authorities have to consult and win over the people. Many politicians use...

India-Iran Drama Continues If Iran really was behind the February 13 attack on an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi, Indian officials need be asking one key question: why? After all, despite the fact that India has voted against Iran twice at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), New Delhi has seemingly continued to have friendly relations with Tehran. And why would Iran choreograph an attack like this at a time when India is seriously engaged in trying to negotiate a complicated arrangement with Tehran to pay for oil it has bought? (India owes billions of dollars in lieu of oil it has already received over the years). One suggestion has been that Iran didn’t take the West-led censure motions at the IAEA as well it seemed, and could in effect be punishing a supposed ally for challenging it in an international forum in this way. Regardless, the Indian media has been surprisingly quite on the sensitive question of Iranian involvement. The device used by the lone perpetrator...

Why China And India Don't Get Along January 4, 2011: India-China ties are set to enter treacherous waters in the coming months. This is clear from current Chinese attitudes, wherein China favors Pakistan at the expense of India. For example, China is selling a one Giga watt nuclear reactor to Pakistan and is determined to ink a civilian nuclear energy cooperation agreement with the country which has for years indulged in nuclear proliferation. China has been demanding visa applications from Indians living in Jammu and Kashmir (wishing to travel to China) but not for Pakistanis in Pakistani Kashmir. This makes it clear on whose side China is. Against the backdrop of many serious differences, the visit by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao (December 15-17) was expected to lower the temperature. It did not; instead it only exacerbated the Sino-Indian fault lines. Wen’s talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on December 16 failed to produce any dramatic results. The good thing...
