Today's networking event at the BasketBall court was perhaps the best event we have attended in ISB so far. Right after the panel discussion on taking India forward, we headed towards the Rec-Centre to meet all the entrepreneurs, VC's and many others. It was very interesting to listen to their experience and understand how they were encouraging entrepreneurs.
The panel discussion was very interesting. We had people like ChandraShekhar from Lok Paritran, Jayaprakash Narayan from Lok Satta, Senthil Chengalvarayan from CNBC(the moderator), Rajeev Gowda, Ramalinga Raju of Satyam and Gopichand - the badminton player. After a round of views about what the political system meant to the people in India, the topic started getting very hot. Though we didnt get enough time to discuss, the way Senthil structured the whole event should be well appreciated. In the end, though the people did touch upon my viewpoint of political parties coming to b-schools to recruit, I still feel that there is a huge gap. Sometimes, the situation is such that we take more pleasure in talking about this than trying to make a concrete plan of action.
They say that it takes only about 5 crores to win a seat in the assembly. Then why dont few corporates take up this cause and work towards it. This was also suggested today. That cant happen. Its not that easy. The Indian political system has to change and that has to happen on its own. It seems the corruption level has come down. Well, if it has, because I really dont know. Then god save the country.
Today Lok Paritran has just 5 members. Educated people are not ready to join such a party. Why - because what will they do when they dont have a salary. Will anyone do that. Well, for high spirits sake you can say that you will. Being an over enthusiastic guy that I am and I generally tend to jump into anything without a second thought and I would definitely take a step back and think about this. At the end of the day, Lok Paritran had just 10000 votes and the next time they'd probably get a chance is another 4 yrs atleast.
Rajeev Gowda himself has joined this race after being in the US for 16 yrs. People have to make a decision to reform this country, but when they do it, they have to make an informed decision. The IAS and the IPS not help this country. With the kind of reservation policies that we have, these posts will only be filled by people who speak rotten english and who have the shitty attitude of just making money through some means.
This is indeed a huge debate and being just one sided, I am quite sure I can write another 2000 words. Let me just stop it here. I hope God sends a mercenary to just kill all these good for nothing politicians.
