This is the definition I got when I surfed the internet about this term called Politics.Well,according to me politics is a portmanteau derived from the two words poly meaning many(numerous) and Tricks which literally means an act to fool or swindle someone.
So, here is my definition for Politics.
Politics is an appositive phrase, meaning, 'The government plays numerous
tricks for which, the common people are primarily the deplorable victims'.
My hatred towards politics started at a very tender age.My dad used to force me,to watch the News channel every day. I’d love to hear any sort of news except politics which mainly had pessimistic kvetches of one party over the other, corruption, dishonesty, scams and occasionally some disgusting news like ministers watching porno inside the parliament , a minister who was imprisoned for a million dollar scam turning out to become the Member of parliament and rouges being elected as ministers etc. (I’m sorry if I was little pessimist myself there).
So,what
made me write this post? I’ve already turned 18 and I am about to get my voter
identification.
I had an idea to cast vote for the new addition by the Election
council where the voters had the option to reject all candidates by voting for
“none of the above” (NOTA). The option however is simply hypothetical—votes
marked to “none of the above” would simply be ignored while deciding the winner
and it wouldn’t matter even if over half the votes were for NOTA.
The question
is, am I going to do this all throughout my life? However, the Right to vote act
clearly states that it is in the hands of the citizens to elect a perspicacious
representative who would govern the country with utmost solemnity and sincerity
and voting just to show that you are capable of voting is sort of disgracing
and disobeying this Right.
However, the recent scenarios in
the field of politics made me to blow away the cobwebs. An educated common man grows
up from nowhere,begins a revolution, contests elections and outshines turning
down the fate of a political organization which had its roots in this soil ever
since freedom.
I
felt happy after I read the news about people refusing to accept money or any
other form of bribery from any political party to cast their votes for them in return
and also the stern rules stated by the election commission.

It
takes a lot of cognizance and intellect to predict something which is about to
happen in the future. When
Kalam sir predicted that India would become a super power by 2020, I thought it
was a lame joke with this present situation, really!!.May be that was because of the domination of my
pessimism over the optimism but,with the
present economic and political outcomes and news about the educated youngster’s taking up the charge
and initiative, India would definitely become a Developed superpower by 2020.A country
which is already being feared for her power would be extremely revered for her
socio-economic status in the future.
I remember how my grandparents used to feel
proud when they say that they lived in this same soil and was a part of the freedom movement when India got her freedom.If everything turns out well as expected, Even I’d have the privilege to boast to my son that I lived in this soil when India was declared a superpower.
