Do we care about who sits in our Temples of Democracy?

                                            Seriously!!!   It doesn't seem so for at least 40 % of the electorate who didn't even step out t-o vote in the 2009 General elections. What might be the reasons for not voting? and those who are voting, are they taking the pain to educate them selves about whom they are voting? Why this apathy? 
                                            Its just 66 years that India got its Independence, but it looks like we are being looted by corrupt politicians from centuries....... So much so that we are looking at yet another fight for Freedom, this time from our own greedy, egoistic, self-centered politicians.
                                            Hardly do today's generation know about the Indian Freedom struggle and the sacrifices made by countless people for over a hundred years for us to enjoy this freedom in our lives. How come the zeal and intensity of just a generation prior to us didn't trickle down. Why this complacency? Hopefully this time, it wouldn't take a hundred years.
                                             Enough of sitting back. Enough of blame games. We don't have the right to lament, while we let criminals rule us. Remember how they fight, throwing their Chappal, breaking the mikes, climbing the tables of the Speakers of the House, tearing each others shirts!!! and all this for what? Is it really for us? 
                                             Its time to get up and stir forward and say ENOUGH. We want to take care of ourselves. We will get in to our sacred temples of Democracy, to clean them up. And mind you these Temples don't belong to any one religion. They are the The temples of Democracy, of Humanity.
