On December 6, while we paid homage to our very adored Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, the Father of our Indian Constitution on his 66th death Anniversary, we were reminded that he must never have visualized that thick skinned persons with never ending greed for power and wealth would ever be occupying positions of power. The basic tenets of democracy and our nation’s secular fabric sadly stands ruptured. Politics today is no longer a mission, not even an honest profession. It has become a ruthless business, with morals and ethics twisted, thrown to the winds, and long buried deep in the slush of ignorance and thuggery.
We can only remind those in Power of those words of Joel Osteen “You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won't receive the good things God has in store”. And when will our politicians be inspired by what the great American writer Alfred Armand Montapert had to say “The main source of our wealth is goodness. The affections and the generous qualities that God admires in a world full of greed.”
