Dwindling democratic ideologies
"Putrefied politics"-- we coin this pair of words very often nowadays to describe our politics or political system, and so much aversion accompanies utterance of these words that it sounds quite abominable. The multitude who do not have direct contact with politics have least anticipation left in it -- they are so much annoyed and fed up with politics!
Many people today feel downcast when they are asked about how they value our politics and its system. Why? a big question. If we dissect our ongoing political system, we will be taken aback by the discovery that our total political structure lacks the most valuable component in a democratic credibility, and it is "political correctness".
The main question is what is the impact of the absence of political correctness? The impact is far more deadly than we can see or feel. The existing scenario in our political arena gives us a picture of what we are up to. Our daily experience of murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, hijacking etc. are the direct impact of the absence of political correctness.
