India might be the largest democracy in the world, but it certainly has deep pitfalls, impaled by malaises like cast, region and religion based pitfalls. Successive coalition governments have only shackles on the legs of a people who are aspiring to be a world power. It is sad state indeed that we are governed not by a shared vision of our leaders, but by a Common Minimum Program, a mere compromise of several parties each with its own vested interests. The UPA led government has been able to achieve very little in its four years of governance weighed down by the ancient ideologies of the Left. The Left on their part have enjoyed unprecedented power over Governance without sharing an ounce of responsibility. Sonia Gandhi has presided (towered would be a more apt word) over the country keeping the seat warm till the ‘Gandhi in waiting’, a certain Rahul Gandhi, is ready to take the reins. The country meanwhile is crawling forward with a puppet prime minister whose strings have gotten so entangled, it seems unlikely the year left is going to throw up any new surprises.
But, it is most ironic that, our estranged neighbor Pakistan who tries to keep a distance from all things Indian, is witnessing the formation of a new government whose formation bears an uncanny similarity to the Indian scene today.
Bilawal Bhutto is essaying the role of The Prime Mininster in waiting like our very own Rahul Gandhi. Asif Ali Zardari is the Pakistani interpretation of Sonia Gandhi who is keeping the seats warm for his ward. Nawaz Sharif’s Party is going to be the Pakistan’s CPM. He to will support the ruling party from outside. He too is seaking the elusive ‘Power without Responsibility’. His excuse of not joining the Ruling party because oh his resolve to not take oath under President Mushsaraf is a master-stroke. The current scheme of things just go to show, how the two countries have much more in common that we would like to think or admit…
