Democracy on the Brink !!

Democracy was only the way that guaranteed the basic rights to downtrodden, cornered, marginalized and vulnerable communities in this country for a long time. But now, when the people who always stood against the democratic values of the Nation are in power using 'Democracy' as their tool.

The spectacular win of the Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies in the general elections this time would obviously a cause of worry and horror for many such communities.Though the vote share of BJP is only 31 percent but the seats they won are enough to show off their 'muscle power' in politics.

Calling it a heavy mandate all the BJP leaders are seem to be on cloud nine but a larger group of the country comprising of vulnerable communities is worried a lot. Especially after having seen what happened in Gujrat in 2002 and Odisha (Kandhamal Massacre) in 2008 these communities are in fear of vengeance across the country.

When we look at the history of these forces they were always against the democratic process in India and democratic credentials of Indian Constitution. Oftenly they express their wish to abolish the Constitution and to form a uniform civil code in a country where nothing is uniform for even 25 Kilo Metres.

What happens next is the big question that every one is asking and trying to analyse what actually meant by 'Acche Din' (Good Days). At the same time every one is looking at the 'bright future' that was promised by the Modi and his party before elections. People still dont understand that 'Acche Din' for whome. With the past of rioting, anti establishment activities, under cover terrorism and dividing the people on the basis of religion, eating habbits, attires and other such things; fears loom over the future of our Democracy.

Will there be repeat of Gujrat that was orchestrated to corner and suppress one particular community, completely destroying the morale of even a graceful life. Will there be repeat of Odisha (Kandhamal) burning several lives, just because they utilize the freedom of 'Propagation'.

In wake of a current 'Riots' and Clashes in Bijapur town of Karnataka where it immediately when Modi was taking oath as the Prime Minister of this country. The rally took out in the name of 'celebrations' turned into clashes resulting in curfew.

No doubt Congress paved the way for the route of secular parties, though they were just for namesake, there was some hope for the Democracy to survive and sustain. It was maintaining the life of Democracy over the years. Its just the beginning of a 'new era' in the democracy and let us see what happens in coming days.
