“The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions gives beauty and dignity to life” (Albert Einstein).
The question is raised time and time again, whether morality should not be the life-artery of good organization. Nevertheless, world-wide crime and white collar crime in particular seem to be at the order of the day. It would appear that morality is considered in theory only.
When we look at the political outfits in our country I doubt whether these people even are familiar with the terms like morality or ethics. The party manifestoes have becomes just one more documents. I think we do not need the manifestoes we need report cards. No alliance is based on ideologies. Mr. Amar Singh talking about some sting operations carried out by Mr. Sanjay Dutta on one of the union minister. He does not make it public so that he can bargain with Congress for criminal cases against his party chief. On the top of that he also admits the same on national TV. Mr. Varun alleged made provocative statements, he is put behind the bars and booked under (IPC 307) attempt to murder case and NSA is used against him. May be this was right thing to do in given situation. But when Mr. Lalu talks about running a roller on Varun, Mr. Vaiko threatens bloodshed if anything happens to LTTE chief, Mr. D. Shriniwas says same thing what Varun has alleged said, no action is taken against these three gentlemen. The question is : If the law is same for all then why is this discrimination? That means something is wrong somewhere. Like this and many incidents are happing every day. That is why the question whether morality is considered only in theory.
This could be very pessimistic view of Indian political scenario but the solution does not lie in not voting. The real solution is voting responsibly.
