Dear Naresh!
Thanks for responding to my post without any badmouthing. I usually take in a lot of abuse both publicly and privately for my views. But I appreciate it all, because it strengthens my faith in my beliefs.
Governmentis not a vehicle. It is an institution. We are not facing a vehicle breakdown. We are facing the downfall of an institution.
Now that Laloo's Govt. has been kicked out, do you think that Nitish Kumar's government will set up the "ram rajya," everyone dreams of. It will be kicked out too. The only reason not one government rules eternally, and gets kicked out of poweris becuase it fails to live up to their pre-election pledges. And it happens again and again. This is pure evidence that the institution of Government is a failure. And we try to fix this failure by electing a new govenrment, which one day becomes a failure itself.
Power to the people.
This is the core of my beliefs. Whis is it so difficult for you guys to digest this idea. What wrong in empowering people to make the crucial decisions in their lives. Capitalism provides people with choice. If one provider doesnt suit you, you can choose from the others available. Government is inherently a socialist institution, and goes completely against the principles of "voluntaryism," which in other words I call "capitalism."
My question is: How long will you let the institution of Government to fail over and over again, until you want to give voluntaryism a fair chance. Do you want 5 years, 10 years, 15, 20, 50 or 100 years? Give me a concrete figure. I dont know if I will be here for that long of a time, but assuming that you say 50 years, and after 50 years, things are still the same. Would you be willing to give voluntarysm a chance? If the answer is yes, then that proves that you have a doubt somewher ein your heart, about the efficiency of government. You know that there is a fair chance that nothing can be done about it. If the answer is no, then you are stuck in your head. And I cannot do anything about it.
Finally, I will keep criticizing the leaders of India including Gandhi, Nehru and Bose etc. Point me out if I have unfairly mentioned something about them. Everything I have said is a fact, and cannot be denied. These leaders were hardcore socialists, and socialism is the bane of civilized societies.
I always say: if healthy criticism of Government and political leaders is discouraged or disparaged, its a very unhealthy sign for a civilized society. It is a symbol of "unjustified blindfaith" in the establishment. This leads to the ceasure of all healthy debate and discussion, finally pushing the society off a cliff.
Criticism leads to innovation.

I find the post by you in a very pessimistic mode.
I hope the statement by you that "Government is the problem" is something you have really pondered upon and not some usual sarcastic comment we people are so used to pass!!
If an automobile fails or breaks down, does it imply that we should stop using the vehicles itself and revert to walking ??? No, it rather indicates that something has to be changed/improved in the vehicle...
The government of Indian soverign got into action in Nov 1949 (after the end of Interim Govt) and soon the constitution saw the daylight (26 jan 50).. The Govt and the constitution are no jokes to be made fun of by pessimists at some internet forums. I find it in really bad taste and consider it a serious unpatriotic act.
There is no reason to lose faith in the system itself.. System is flawed due to antisocial elements. It is not the Govt... but the people who are corrupt and of low self esteem and rather lower ideals who keep on electing wrong candidates for some paltry aid or worse in the name of caste and religion!!
Laloo was in power for ages.. His Govt was bad... fine.. Bad govt.. But I guess it was because of the people of bihar that they had such a CM... !!
Dear Sumit, Govt does come in flavours ... flavours which people even like.. But the Chef (or watever an icemaker is called!!) got to be real good ... He has to make the icecream with pure heart and full sincerity.. The politicians at the time of freedom , had reached there after a long freedom struggle.. They had given up their bright career to fight british (Now please dont come with the usual pessimistic disparaging of Nehru and Gandhi!.. ) And no wonder the Govt under Nehru was free of corruption...
As the time passed on dynasties came and godfather system flourished.. Politics came in the hands of some few people... and the downfall began! But it is not irreversible.. things can be set back on track!
Why iitians' act is more appreciable is because they have not been driven by any urge to earn money.. They could have made decent earning in corporate world.. The only reason they are out there is to serve.. And this motive of SERVICE is what had been missing for long...
So please Sir be optimistic and do not disparage the genuine Govt servants with such an indifference!
