India lacks informed citizenry and is as much to blame as corrupt officials & politicians

To, Dear Indians,

Here is an interesting article on how we are becoming informed citizens judiciously electing candidates on issue of governance but that we are not demanding nearly enough from our elected representatives on the issue of exercise of power. The blame, however, does not fall on the politician himself, but upon us citizens. The battle is not between citizens and politicians but it is between voters of two kinds. One that insists on sound public policy and other that claims rights based on caste or community. Who wins this battle will determine the future of India. When we hear of something as egregious as one leader holding countless ministries, we do not express adequate vocal criticism. This lack of public demand for better governance allows our politicians to bow to the public demands of caste based ministerial appointments.
