The Death of Democracy: When Justice Sleeps and Power Corrupts

 The Death of Democracy: When Justice Sleeps and Power Corrupts


The murder of any democracy begins when the justice system falls asleep, controlled by the forces of fear, money, and ideological alignment with the government. Judges who refuse to uphold the laws of the land and instead side with the ruling party place democracy on a precarious edge. In the 2024 election, the BJP strategically granted tickets to many former judges who had previously favored them in critical cases. Fortunately, the electorate saw through this ploy and rejected all these candidates, hinting that a fair and unbiased judiciary might have held the BJP accountable, potentially imprisoning its leaders for their transgressions.

Yesterday, I reported on the crime committed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, as highlighted by opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. Yet, no action has been taken by any department against these two individuals. Democracy also dies when voters start worshipping the leaders they elect, instead of holding them accountable for failing to meet the people's demands. When politicians know they are ruling an obedient public, the crimes they commit against their people become unimaginable.

Currently, India operates under a system dominated by a vocal minority that ruthlessly acts against the interests of the nation, including the very minority that empowered them. This situation is the result of centuries of societal conditioning, now benefiting these politicians. Courage to stand against such powers is scarce, confined to a few states with truly brave citizens. Poverty often breeds obedience, leaving people with little to fight for, while greed fosters selfishness, as seen in individuals prioritizing their own interests over the community's well-being.

Will the NDA government last for five years? I doubt it, if there are still democratic institutions left uncorrupted by Modi. In the coming years, money from large corporations will continue to flow, corrupting those who have joined the BJP in forming this government. These individuals know their future depends on maintaining this corrupt regime and avoiding any actions against them.

It is challenging to enlighten those who choose to remain blind, believing their current situation is the heaven they envisioned. Many BJP supporters fall into this category, along with those who exploit them for their own gain. The argument from BJP supporters remains that India is better off with Modi, despite his lack of achievements. The supposed fear he instills in Pakistan is another lie. Modi's true success lies in keeping bad news about terrorism off the air, creating an illusion of peace and stability.

India has lost territory to China under Modi's administration, yet no one speaks about it. Is it better not to hear bad news or to know the truth and act on it? The BJP has proven that suppressing bad news and allowing the nation to decline is preferable, as a few traitors in the media and corporations focus solely on their interests.

Conclusion

The current state of Indian democracy is perilous. With a judiciary compromised by fear and corruption, and a government more interested in maintaining power than serving the people, the true essence of democracy is at risk. The citizens must wake up, demand accountability, and ensure that the rule of law prevails over the rule of a corrupt few. Only then can India reclaim its democratic ideals and work towards a future that benefits all its people.

The path ahead is fraught with challenges, but the resilience and courage of the Indian people can pave the way for a brighter tomorrow. The battle for democracy is not just a fight against corruption but a fight for the soul of the nation. It is a fight that must be won, not just for today, but for the generations to come. The time to act is now before it is too late.

How We Turned an Abstract God into Concrete Hate

  How We Turned an Abstract God into Concrete Hate Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/12/blog-post_12.html God was never meant to be owned. In its earliest human understanding, God was abstract, unknowable, and undefined. People did not claim certainty over it. They sensed it in nature, in conscience, in fear, wonder, and humility. Worship had no walls. It happened under open skies, near rivers, in forests, and in silence. Spirituality was personal, inward, and restrained by doubt. Everything broke the moment humans tried to contain the abstract. The moment God was locked inside stone, gold, and spectacle, spirituality was replaced by religion. And once religion took physical form, it demanded control. Someone had to manage God. Interpret God. Defend God. Faith stopped being a personal search and became a collective identity. Identity demanded loyalty. Loyalty demanded enemies. This is where belief became power. At some point, humanity reached an abs...

Distraction as Governance: How a Scripted National Song Debate Shielded the SIR Controversy

  Distraction as Governance: How a Scripted National Song Debate Shielded the SIR Controversy Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5jj6tmNYs20 Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/12/sir_11.html Two days ago, India witnessed a moment that will not be remembered for what Parliament accomplished, but for how deliberately it avoided its responsibilities. Ten hours were spent debating Vande Mataram and reminiscing about 150 old songs, not because Parliament had run out of issues, but because the ruling party needed a distraction. Crucially, this spectacle unfolded just before the scheduled national debate on the Special Summary Revision, a process already mired in allegations of mass voter deletions and electoral manipulation. Seen in context, the timing was not random. It was strategic. It was engineered. The BJP leadership understood that the SIR debate could expose disturbing patterns: unexplained deletions, duplicate voter entries, unexplai...

Superstitions: Where Do They Come From, and Why Do People Believe in Them?

  Superstitions: Where Do They Come From, and Why Do People Believe in Them? Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/12/blog-post_14.html When undesirable events occur in our lives, our natural response is to look for reasons. We try to identify causes so we can avoid repeating the same outcomes. Often, this process is logical and helpful. We learn, adapt, and move forward. But this search for meaning does not always lead us to accurate conclusions. Sometimes, instead of identifying real causes, we attach significance to unrelated details. A coincidence becomes an explanation. A single occurrence becomes a pattern. When this happens, superstition begins to take shape. One of the most striking aspects of superstition is how little evidence it requires. A single event is often enough. If something good happens while a certain object is present, or something bad follows a particular action, the mind quickly connects the two. No repeated testing is needed...
