We must invent a profitable business than "Politics" to save India

While we were in School and college we've read about wars for religion, for ownership on a place  but when we look at them now carefully it boils down to the fact that everything happened because of a business called "politics". In this century  this evolved as most profitable business for all crooked,cunning animals in human skin.Take for example America's war on Iraq  to today Telagana issue in Andhrapradesh- the entire media said america attacked Iraq for oil, the whole world believed it and whispered "How mean America is". I wonder if that is the truth all we are saying is that american politicians are so committed and biased towards Americans well being.Which is not true, all they are worried about votes, power so that they can protect their vested interests, enjoy their lives at tax payer's money and make more money.It is really surprising that we all force ourselves to believe that politicians are standing for a cause, they are protecting national interest.Get the most powerful telescope in the world and try to search for a leader like Abraham  Lincoln or Subhash Chandra Bose  -  for your disappointment you won't find more leaders.

Just have a look at Telangana Issue - Governments have been cooking it for over 5 decades now at the cost of utmost discomfort to people,great loss to both the regions in Andhraparesh and suddenly when a decision has been taken politicians from both the sides start playing the role of saviors, comes on to the streets to save interests of their regions,fight for their region's share in water,irrigation projects, revenue.Every day and night you keep reading statements made by politicians on how they want to protect people of their regions, and the way they protect people is by calling for a strike - No schools for children,no government office will be open,all the public services are halt and no cost effective transport system will function during strike.All this happens under the slogan called public interest.Well the question we need to ask here is "where have you been" all these years when I could not get drinking water everyday, when I have been denied a government service which is my fundamental right, when farmers are committing suicides? Politicians wont be there for the obvious reason that there is "no money" they can make out of these.But when they fight for Irrigation projects, Roads,Airports there is huge amount of money in each of those.If these kind of projects wont get started  they cant make money - so they fight for money - sorry in their language "for people".

Why it has become a business?

It is very simple: most of the political leaders today would have started their careers as an entry level volunteer in a particular party. From that stage to now they would have spent at least 20 years of time, during this period  for a serious political leader there wont be any time left to take up any other occupation to earn money, so from where they should get money? how should  they live? how should they support their families ?The nominal pay for leaders at panchayath, Mandal and district level wont be sufficient to survive by maintaining stature in political circles.So all the investment one made in the form of time,physical and mental hard work over those 2 decades will give him  an opportunity to convert that investment made in to  money once h wins an election.Hence politicians create divisions,movements,fights and chaos to make more and more money and to get much more powerful.

There are 3 simple  options here to be clean

1) Do not get in to politics to earn livelihood : Fortunately or unfortunately in India it is always believed that politics are for unselfish public service, so only people who does not want to make money using politics are welcome here, if you want to make money choose another career, why come in to politics to suffer and to be called corrupted - please don't " if you want to make money, you are disqualified". You can not buy a BMW, or a Villa neither you can send your children abroad for education with the honorary expenses paid by the government. Please be reminded that "Politics are  only for people who wants to remain poor in the process of  making public  rich", yeah true politicians also public they also vote so there is not really a great deal of  wrong in they becoming rich - alas this cant stop corruption

2) Earn money then enter politics : This is a good option, make enough money save it and enter politics.I think most of today's politicians are doing this - just that their habit of earning money does not die easily, so they continue the same even after entering in to politics -Pccch  can't help 

3) There is something called community service while you are working as a teacher,engineer,Lawyer or a business man  you could do service to gain support from public - if you are genuinely helping public you don't have to spend money to win elections. When was the last time a public servant was elected without spending money in elections? how many of our current MLA's or MP's have this kind of background? not many of them i don't think this model will work for India. Leave this too.

Actually i cant really think of any good option - the best solution for this would be we discovering a better business which is more profitable than Politics, so that all crooked will go there  and at least there will some space for good people in politics. Anyone who discovers this kind of business should be given a Nobel prize.
