I have one big issue with Indian people. We don't take public jobs seriously. We lack sincerity of purpose. We also treat others casually. A country that can beat any other of the world on accumulated intellectual capital, has a President, a career politician, who is struggling to read from the prompter and nervously fiddling with pencil throughout his eve of Independence Day speech. Why can he not spend a month in memorising a speech and deliver it immaculately to the people of his country? Why does he have to fumble and struggle to read it? Why can he not just keep it simple and speak his mind, rather than parrot a written speech? Why does he not treat the Billion strong peoples seriously and with respect? Because it is not merit that saddles you in such positions - there are multiple extraneous factors - so much of balancing that Pranabda has dextrously done all his life, to be rewarded with this position. Of course, at the route of the malaise is, that we don't treat our right to franchise seriously. If we vote for reasons other than the pure merit of the candidate, Pranabdas, Pratibha Patils and Gianijis shall be the natural outcome.
