Cynicism in public life

What is practised is known as passing of the buck. WMD has become a whip, and the smaller states have no right to control their natural energy resources. The malaise is deeper than mere bad politics.

There are no operating tools or mechanisms to clean the system. Those that exist are good enough, but the will is not there, as other unofficial attractions distort the vision of good, clean, public service. The culprits are the policy makers themselves.

The body is rotten, but the head cannot handle the body. Polarised tops are dangerous, because the sufferers are the majority even those millions outside the perimeters of good governance.

The way politics has been misused is no surprise in the LDCs. The Western systems of the developed countries just do not work in environments where the structures and infrastructures cannot be grounded to reality. In that respect even the UN system is suspect now ignored by the superpower also, employing immoral pre-emptive tactics, for subjugation and control of the resources in the developing countries. The foreign prescriptions and remedial actions are trade and business oriented for economic control, although these tactics are employed in indirect ways, through sanctions, denials and deprivations. The international arbitration bodies enjoy no freedom. Freedom has become an arbitrary and subjective term. When the self is enveloped in stark materialism.

Civilian administration is not against adversaries, but for ordinary citizens, to enhance the quality of daily lives. When the politicians misuse this sacred privilege, normal life is disrupted, and hope loses its bearing.

The novel concept of neutral caretaker government was tried in Bangladesh. But soon the politicians themselves became critical of its role, as the political leaders were sidelined, though for a short duration.

The ambitious political leaders do not believe in taking rest even for a short while . The noise pollution thus created is terrible. Dhaka has set the unique example where the opposition did not attend the parliament for three terms. In addition to that, its corruption rating is one of the highest in the world. And this country is world's most dangerous place for journalists according to the latest international survey.

The HR record is not worth mentioning. And the women's rights are left of the centre (or to the right of the centre?).
