Who needs the government?

Simple question. Before reading further, think about it. Government is basically a body of people, who collect money from the masses in form of taxes and perform various functions to make life smooth and simple for people.


In modern day India, especially which is a socialist economy, we have a failed system. A total collapse of anything that should be called the government. Consider this. At central level, we have a government. At state level, we have state governments and then their are the zila parishads, municipal corporations etc.


We vote for a body but what exactly these people do? More importantly why do we need to pay the taxes?

1) Electricity. Privatize it. That's the nation's call. After it has happened in Mumbai and Delhi, from transmission to production of electricity, private players are jumping in.

2) Water. Privatize it. Yes, shortage of water all over India is raising a call for the capitalists to take some money and provide the Goddamm water in a proper sensible way.

3) Roads. We pay toll taxes on highways after every few kilometers. We pay road taxes. Why the hell we need a government if we got to pay and go? We could have hired our own contractor and paid him off. Instead of involving the government and then paying the contractor anyway. (Point can be noted here that our MPs, ministers and MLAs are exempted to pay any toll tax).



Let me see what else can be essential to life in our country. Education? Private universities are much better than the government ones, which are only cheap and have a vintage goodwill which pulls students towards them. We still need more private money for education.


Railways and Airways have seen government role to be played to mess them up at amazing levels. Our railways minister does not like her Delhi office and Airline minister gets flights diverted on whims of his daughter. Even if you ignore these things as we always do in our country, both are in mess. Huge mess. Same with waterways.


So why do we need governments, when ultimately we have to ask capitalists for help?

When we start trusting in their services, despite the fact that we hate their guts.


We saw it in telephone sector. In housing sector. In banking and finance sector. We saw that we were more at ease with private players than the government. We also know how badly our tax money is used.


After all these are the very promises done by the politicians in elections. Bijli sadak pani. Electricity, roads and water top the list on any netajie's agenda. If a corporate guy has to be thrust upon us, so that he makes money then why do we need the neta?

So think of the question again and do answer in the comment box.

hmmm...thoughtful hai...kaafi extent tak convincing bhi...but koi bhi...bilkul bhi koi bhi authority na ho toh there can be even more mayhem also...but definitely, private ko more space denna is a nice idea...if that is the politians allow it to happen, since its a risk to their own pockets

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind...   Anyway, let us look at some facts -  Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Si

"My cousin touched me there"

Note: When Tan suggested me to post this here...I gave it a thought. I felt he was right.  yeha I know in the election times ..people would be more inclined to politics. Well still..just give it a read :) For the first time when she came in I knew she is going to be one of my best pals. she was bubbly chirpy sociable and a caring human being.she was I felt my true copy. But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine had such a reason behind it. She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and made her one of the closest beings to me on this Earth. As she and I had got very close in friendship that we began sharing secrets which we never thought would come out of our mind. And I thought I understood her as I thought she was me. Then one day as we were alone in my room I asked her why she was so unfamiliar and irritat
