DREAM CABINET FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE,LOKPAL-A FUTILE PROCESS
In Cricket, we often hear about a Dream Indian Team of the decade or century. Similarly, we should dream about a fleet of "Honest" "Qualified" People to be part of Dream Cabinet to ensure Clean & Corruption free professional governance to the INDIAN republic where there is no place for "Manmohan theory" of Coalition politics or dharma.
Sometimes, avant-garde or maybe strange kind of thought sparkles: Why not "Constitution" is amended to adopt a system,wherein key Clout or Govermental political positions like PM, Home Minister, Finance Minister, Defence Minister are directly elected( rather selected) by Direct voting of People alike Presidential system of USA, irrespective of Party politics or number of Elected representative of any Party ( Majority or minority) in Parliament. Election funding for such directly Electable Goverment functionary could be through Election Commission of India to avoid any "monetary influence"over public.
In present Scenario too, one may visualize Dream Cabinet comprising of Qualified & Honest leaders,having Developmental agenda in their mind.
Perhaps, Nitish Kumar (an Engineer), Dr Raman Singh ( CM of Chattisgarh), Narendra Modi ( MA in Political science), Navin Patnayak ( Graduate of St Stephen's,New Delhi), Ashok Chavhan ( CM of Maharashtra- An Engineer), Shivraj Singh Chouhan ( MA -Gold Medalist,CM of MP), Manishanker Aiyer ( Sr Cambridge Topper in BA (Hons) & former IAS), P. Chidambaram ( Masters in Business Administration from Howard), A.K.Antony ( Extremely Honest politician with BA,BL qualification), Chandrababu Naidu ( Masters in Economics & Creator of Cyberabad), Sitaram Yetchury ( MA Economics,Author of number of books) etc etc. may be in our Dream Cabinet.
Instead of formulating number of Toothless "Laws" like Lokpal, it is imerative to bring in major Constitutional changes by civil movement in the country. CVC act, Lokayukta in States failed to carry on their duty as efficiently as it was perceived to be during enactment of such acts. Anna's movement is not likely to yield any Striking changes in the "Lokpal",whatever may be provisions made in the Bill to fight corruption. As recently, it was remarked categorically that LOKPAL bill has to be passed by Parliament & who are there in Parliament, the same "Political" class or fraternity who would never allow it to be so burly to challenge "supremacy" of Political authority.
LOKPAL is alike PART 2 of CVC act. Anna should not squander his energy for LOKPAL till civil society or a Movement of masses work for a revolution in change of elegibility criteria for our Elected representatives in Assembly or Parliament.

Indian Democracy- Whether it is really People's rule???
We were born in Democratic India, living with the pride of being Nationals of Democratic country, where Notion of democracy -People's rule, for the People & by the People applies. In retrospect, one may analyse "reality" of 'People's" rule in India. Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru, Indiraji, Rajiv Gandhi, altogether, ruled India for over 37 years ( out of age of 64 years of Independent India since 1947). Now for last 7 years, Madam Soniaji is at the helm of Affairs alike Chankya of Mauryan dynasty. The Nehru-Gandhi family seems to be the only "option" available as "People's" rule in Indian Democracy. Already, now Rahul Gandhi being trained to be in touch with People to eventually become People's representative to Rule. It seems time has come to celebrate Golden Jubilee of Nehru-Gandhi Family Rule in our country. Interestingly, 3 Bharat Ratnas also belong to the divine Family.
No doubt, the sacrifice of Indiraji & Rajiv Gandhi for the Nation etched in our Minds, reminding the greatness of both Mother & Son. But sacrifices of number of Soldiers in 1965, 1971 & Kargil War are also on equal sense of patriotism, fighting for the Matribhumi ( Motherland). Whether these Martyrs, Soldiers & their family are not worthy to be part of People's rule?? No!, recently UPA Govt via Congress spokesperson declared & defined the new rule for Democracy, which distinguishes People on Parameters like- Electable or Non Electable representatives. Now soul of Mahatma Gandhi, Jaiprakash Narayan, Vinoba Bhave, maybe feeling fortunate not to be alive to witness modern law & rule being preached for "Democracy". Once pronounced by followers of Autocratic form of rule that
" Democracy is beautiful in theory,in practice it is a fallacy ( quote of Mussolini- Italian Dictator), turning out to be reality in current context of events in India.
Now one may ponder into question: Are'nt we live in Quasi or Pseudo form of Democracy ? or mixed form of Democracy & Dictatorship both, in which till we elect our representative, Democratic fundamentals are followed,once elected, our Representatives become supreme & teach us the definition of "People's rule" through "dictatorship" via authority given to them as elected representatives & whom these representatives work for, Nehru Gandhi family- who has been bestowed with GOD gift to be the bona fide "People" to rule & govern the nation ( 60-62% life of Indian democracy belongs to them).......
