Democracy of Elites

VIP-culture and red-tepism have  vigorously became the part of elite section in India . 70 years' passage can be denounced for the protection as well as it's nurture . Current government has taken some necessary step to combat it. Removing beacon from the car of officials and leaders was one of such steps . Apart from that timely reporting to the office  , time driven tasks and outcome based promotion in ministry as well as bureaucracy were some other steps .

Prime Minister does not provokes such tradition but but he is unable to stop other members of his party and alliances from doing the same . There are almost 30 category of VIPs for the concession in security checks on the airports . It was burning example of the very tradition when an MP of Shiv Shena threatened a 60 years old employ of Air India with slippers . The MP should have been fired  from the party for doing so . But irony is that Shiv Shena threatened to create obstacles in the service of Air India . And the Center directed Air India to remove the name of the MP from it's 'NO-FLY' list . Prime-minister was silent on whole episode .

Our judiciary is not so different . According to former CJI Deepak Mishra , there are about 3.3 crore pending cases in various courts of India . In such situation , courts are aspect-ed not to interfere in administrative matters and to concentrate on giving justice . But last week Madras High Court directed to National Highway Authority of India to make a separate que for VIPs on toll-gate . It is obvious that judges of courts also lie under these VIPs . The court told it unfortunate to wait 10-20 minutes .

Yes , no want to wait unnecessary on road but why the court want the segregation of their judges from common man . This order by the court clearly shows VIP – mindset , which has become the part of DNA of ruling class of India . The act is opposite to the definition of democracy given by Abraham Lincoln . Our democracy is the government by elite , of elite and for elite .
