Indian Pot-Pouri

Why is it so difficult in a country like India, where taking some crucial decisions by any leader always beckons criticism? Why is that any measure or an act finds colossal time to get itself implemented despite its immediate allocation of resources? Well, this one is best answered by analyzing the people of India rather than its administration. India is a land of people who are from variety of races and religion. They speak multifarious languages and follow a myriad of customs. They have plethora of cuisines and piebald of clothing. In a country of such diversity it becomes extremely difficult to arrive at one single conclusion before imposing an act as part of the constitution.


Any decision taken in our country must not affect the sentiments of the masses. The sentiments may be religious, customs performed throughout time or their aesthetics. When several of these factors contribute to the glory of particular group of people it becomes mandatory for the leaders of our country to take decisions such that none of the groups get agonized or feel that their glory is being tarnished. Each state in India has got its own tradition and none of them, of course would like to give up their prosperity, under any case whatsoever. This is not an accusation thrown at the organization of our country, but a description of the demographic layout of our nation. Leaders taking strategic decisions in country like India must analyze the consequences in terms of mentality of all the groups of people who would be affected.



Yet another conflict that arises during decision making is due to the large population of our land. This huge population count has led to various economic classes. The leaders have additional burden of making sure that their decision suits all those classes and none of them is dissatisfied. India is the biggest democratic country in the world and its constitution is so big only to make the law benefit all the classes of people. So, lets not simply accuse our leaders for not taking the most accurate decision for the very first time since it may also due to the fact that they might have come to that conclusion, excluding a class of people by mistake. By this point I by no way support politicians who take crude decisions. Its only an observation that would corroborate good leaders who take strategic decisions. For other reckless leaders, the preliminary task is to first understand that they have been elected to work for the people.
