The concept of “Democracy”
has been doing its round all the time; in recent times, going by the
media, it has been provoked to ‘dance’, a ‘junglee’ type at that .
One is left unsure whether Jug is talking of ‘democracy’ in
its profoundly original meaning or as a ‘synonym’ (‘meaning as another’).
Brevity is the soul of ‘wit’. For once, purposely not inclined not to follow that ideal,
looking back / reversely but fast
turning the pages of history , -the toi
, in its ‘SESQUI CENTENNIAL PUBLICATION,
1992 ‘- one finds a cryptic quote, as re-quoted:
< H.L . Mencken described American democracy as a
“boobocracy” of, by and for the “vast herd of human blanks” who have neither
the interest nor the capacity for intelligent self-government. This style of
expression is impolitic and impolite. But as you thump through those pages and
see how government after government succumbed
to populism when what that country needed was leadership, you are tempted to
tell yourself that even what is impolite and impolitic has to be said in a
country whose national motto is “Truth Shall Prevail”.>
(Source: Book, We, the Nation > “Panorama of the Last
Decades” –pg 323)
Poser: should that be true even for that ‘once –was-
super-power’, how our nation can remain insulated from that irresistible
external influence. extra strong.

Three lessons from the Rajaratnam case
In today's context, in view of the overwhelming influence any such information given publicity in advance or prematurely, more so mindlessly, and its impact on the societal welfare, in the larger interests of the nation and its people, in common, it is the duty and responsibility of the media to be considerate as to considerably moderate the increasingly overtaking practice of an unsavoury investigative journalism - particularly of the type verging on, -sensationalism, populism, self-promotion or-projection, so on. Instead, desirably, at least initially, soon after any such information coming to its notice/knowledge should be passed on forthwith to the concerned empowered authority, keep closely monitoring, and, only if that fails to produce or show any outcome as expected, within a reasonable time, then only think of further suitable steps to bring about the aimed-at -result of an enduringly successful nature, accruing for the welfare of the people, or any section /sector thereof. Otherwise, as past experience has repeatedly demonstrated, that could prove eventually self-defeating or -effacing attempt, with an unintended negative bizarre outcome.
This is an exclusive area where only expert psychologists or psychoanalysts* could come out and make a valuable contribution with really useful suggestions /recommendations, for the benefit of the humanity -not any tom , dick and harry, or an average human/commoner , as we are, filled with nothing but detestable trait / harmful qualities of so called, 'ego' or 'emotion'..
Wedded to democracy by Juggle-Bandhi : Jug Suraiya's blog-The ...
The article, so also the numerous comments posted, as
understood, focus on, rightly so, the most important of all being supply of an
alert, unwittingly or otherwise, to anyone suspected to be a culprit. Upfront
what comes to one's mind is the unpleasantly active role, unwisely played by
the media- print, electronic, or any other of its kind.

What is; how BIG, an Issue or no, can it make a difference ??????
With a different Stroke:
a quack (india)
Don't mind Or attach any significance to the 'STATS.' It is not a question to be any seriously taken such as, - ‘are you really serious?’ so as to elicit, much less, a righteous answer such as, - 'I agree Or I don't Agree ?!
On the contrary, the very simple/simplistic point of poser may have to be righteously THIS: what YOU 'think' on THIS CONTROVERSY Ongoing For AGES?
IF ONE WERE to choose and follow the not-unknown 'NEUTRAL policy' (i.e. akin to that of Dr Jeckyll And Mr. Hide')- the most pragmatic and wisest of all, the reply may vary, - if one who poses is a 'corrupt' himself , or an 'expert economist,' - say, a NON-issue; Otherwise, say , an ISSUE. Either way, what difference the reply is going to make for THE NATION or THE PEOPLE. Anyway, for the latter who have largely chosen to remain , as ever, un- or ‘low-aroused’ !
Is it an Issue? or Non-Issue ?? - that is the poser that has been haunting like nightmare the mind of everyone, low or high, and all the time, since the growth in economy, particularly such a growth or growth alone, regardless of whether within healthy bounds, or with no bounds (limit) reaching the level to the brim, of a 'cancerous' type came to be glowingly favoured / strongly voted for by the men in governance, as the omnipotent class itself. To simply put it, more money in circulation - regardless of its colour/shade, means more corrupt minds , breeding more corrupt money.. So much so, common man is perennially kept on the toes, wondering loudly ,- Can anyone of the other unique class, namely 'experts' on the mind bogglingly irritant subject of 'economy' truthfully provide a different answer or clue ?! But then, can ân€˜election or no election at all make any difference, much less usher in any dramatic, if not a revolutionary, chance in the national arena / scenario ????
