The last week saw Indian polity taking yet another plunge into its darkest pothole, made increasingly deeper with each ugly incident over the past few decades. Far from acknowledging their uncouth and shameful conduct, the suspended Rajya Sabha members protested outside the Parliament, much like kids do when rapped on the knuckles for not behaving properly. The adjoining photo shows a gross misuse of Gandhi's statue. It also illustrates the extent to which our politicians have fallen over the years. The common man / woman has come to accept unruly politicians as a given. With all this talk of a young, vibrant India doing the rounds, I feel it is time we youths sat up, took notice and acted on such stark reminders of our nation's current state of advanced decay.
Let the mild, respectful conduct not be limited only to placed of worship, learning and our homes. Let our generation be led by committed, genuine leaders to its rightful glorious future.

Like you said, we have come to expect such behaviour...the kind of behaviour I would spank my kids for.When elections become inexpensive, and honest politicians can survive, then we can expect rectitude.

True, it beats me why and how adults completely forget the values they we learnt as kids. These guys need to be sent back to kindergarten.
