Sourav Choudhury I find your opinions in accordance with mine and I have deep respect and support for your ideas. However there is something bothering me which I want to share with you, not to contradict you but to add to what you posted recently. Well, is the BJP clean ? I dont know really who is more corrupt - the Congress or the BJP. Change is not always for the better you know! However sometimes change may be necessary. I am thinking what if BJP turns out to be more corrupt and in fact our experience with them has not been really pleasant. In that case you know AAP is doing a good thing diverting the vote away from them (you fear that by blocking Modi votes they are helping the Congress - I mean to say that they could be actually doing a good thing. However this is entirely a matter of speculation - as it is unclear who is more corrupt, Congress or BJP. I see AAP not as a factor that is turning the tide from one to the other or blocking a better candidate - but as a factor which is mildly neutralising both. Reminding both that the people have the last say - putting a sort of restraint on whichever candidate wins - like a watchman of the people. AAP is a beginning for a new form of Indian politics, which we have long dreamt of - where Class-ism, Elitism, and Dynasty-ism halts! It reminds me of the main character in Jumanji played by Robin Williams and Eliticism in Indian politics is like the Exterminator. One kid has guts to stand up to the world with a stupid little board game and that sees the Exterminator swept away by a whirlwind. I feel we do not need to do a lot and we cannot do a lot. We just need to play stupid little board games in the face of the Exterminators and the whirlwinds will come by themselves. I like to dream this little fantasy - We are only agents and all we need is to act. Its a deal the whirlwinds gave us. If we act they will come - if we dont they wont. The choice is ours, the power is THEIRS. Sorry for all that stupid romanticising and theology.. hehe (you know me :D )
