The Indian, and The Indian Civil Entity.

The Union Cabinet of The Indian Government, consists of not a large number of people. The same can be said of the State Governing Cabinets. The civil servants, as well as the civilians, and the military, assist the cabinet to govern. The cabinet assists the civilians, and the civil servants, and the military, but in a different perception of service. Governors and the government of various entities, are mainly the patrons of the functioning of the various institutions. When the government is perceived to be in discomfort, it is for a different reason than the reason of the discomfort of the entities under the patronage of the government. Why do we not assist the government, in the functioning of the government? We may vote out the government, but later, rather than sooner, we vote them back. Why should we vote in a government, whom we see as deserving when we vote, and whom we see as undeserving when we vote them out? I see a division of the nation, which is very marked, in India, because those who are in the opposition, and those those who are in the ruling coalition, are hostile to each other, when they are perceived as politicians. If I may cite an example, and if I may be pardoned, Mr Omar Abdullah is married to the sister of a prominent politician, whose name I cannot recall, but they do not see the same point of view as politicians, and the parties which they represent, are antagonistic towards each other. The business of government functions very well as it does, but it can perhaps function very much better. The ruling party blames the opposition, and the opposition blames the ruling party. Hence, the ruling party is not accountable, and nor is the opposition. All the matters of governance are discussed, but this matter is not discussed. What is the most pressing need, it seems, will sort itself out, by itself, is what the collective opinion of the politicians hold. This is a fact, but why does it take such a duration of time, and the time is yet to come to a conclusion, on this matter. What will lead to the issues in the nation to resolve itself? The question is not to be asked by the politicians, but by the persons, whom the politicians represent.
