Politics is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions. The term is generally applied to behavior within civil governments, but politics has been observed in other group interactions, including corporate, academic and religious institutions. It consists of "social relations involving authority or power"[1] and refers to the regulation of a political unit,[2] and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy.[3]
The word "Politics" comes from the Greek word Πολιτικά (politika) from politic (adj.), modeled on Aristotle's "affairs of state," the name of his book on governing and governments, which was rendered in English mid-15 century as Latinised "Polettiques." In Latin, this was "politicus" and in French "politique". Thus it became "politics" in Middle English(source: wikipedia)
Now as you readers must have read the passage above.It clearly states that politics is affairs of state.Now a days politics means affairs of parties and its own gains.They do not have any concern for the people of state and their affairs.Either people suffer through various crisis until and unless the crisis becomes acute it does not involve itself in solving the problems and its issues.
Yesterday in Lok Sabha discussion on price rise was going on.Smt. Sushma Swaraj stated the scams made by Mr. Sharad Pawar according to the statistics she has acquired.It represents that our governments of whatever party comes into power they are working for themselves and their associates.
We have to develop such kind of system in which people in power must be literally concerned about common people.Our freedom fighters and politicians of 1940-1960's era started with this intention but somehow they vanished or died.We need to involve such kind of people who have those kind of characteristics.Our nation needs moralistic and ethical politicians which may define new image or bring back the old lost image of a true politician.
It is us who can do.If we get involved even 0.1% then 1000 people could make 100%.We need to take initiatives if we want to develop.
Question remains,how,when and where?
Think about it.
