We the people are witnessing the death pangs of democracy. At the international level the UN and ICJ are rendered impotent by powerful nations led by demagogues! Right now we are witnessing live on television how Russia is imposing its will on Ukraine. The Russian people do not have access to facts or any non-state sponsored information to filter the false information provided or speak up freely. In Goa at an extravagant BJP govt swearing-in function at the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee stadium, most of the BJP big wigs from all over India were present. We had even the PM fly down from Delhi in Air India one and fly back after the 22 minutes function! The enormous expenditure involved is mind boggling and this too when the common man cannot afford petrol or LPG and are struggling to make ends meet with skyrocketing prices! The Opposition is decimated, checks and balances seem non-existent. These are dangerous, unpredictable and difficult days and we the people need to ensure no matter what, we keep our unity in diversity intact and make our government that takes an oath to uphold our Constitution, accountable and answerable!
