A disturbing encounter
Democracy is at stake when one can bribe for everything and can get away with anything

Democracy in our country is just a legal term, constitutional...just for the sake of it. Just because people vote it doesnt make the country democratic. 'Democratically' elected MLAs and MPs use divisive politics. Democracy was supposed to provide a platform for all the voices to be heard from every small nook and corner. Look what it has become...a sham. Instead of prostrating infront of colonialists police and bureaucracy prostrates infront of politicians... Faith is democracy is lost when it takes media to provide justice, poor have to pay bribes to get 'free' government hospital treatment. There millions of such stories going on in India all the time...and believe 'The White Tiger' is a mellowed down version of it.
