Scrap Elections!

And Let The Dynasties Rule.

Rajinder Puri suggests an alternative system of governance,

We all know who the dynasties are. But we’re never sure who the people are. Sometimes secularists are the real people of India. At other times, saffronite Hindus are the real people of India. Or perhaps the OBCs may be the real people. Sometimes even Dalits become the real people of India. Sometimes there are combinations that make real people. Right now, Brahmins and Dalits are the people of Uttar Pradesh. Recently, Yadavs and Muslims were the people of Uttar Pradesh. Sometimes there are even disputes about who the real Scheduled Tribes are. Very recently Gujjars and Meenas were battling it out because they couldn’t decide who the real Scheduled Tribe was.

So how must we determine who the people of India are? Why, the dynasties on the roof tell us that. The dynasties don’t change. But the people keep changing. This leads one to a profound truth. In India, people don’t choose the leadership. Leaders choose the people. So why not scrap elections? Citizens should stop voting for leaders. Let leaders vote for the people. Let dynasties elect saffronites or secularists, forwards or backwards as the real people of India. This will give us a genuine, representative, low-cost democracy.[link]

I think Puri has truly hit the bulls eye! A government for the dynasties. Officially.
