INDIA HONEST observes that all the pious efforts of non corrupt and non criminalised politics in India, holds little ground unless we revamp our judicial system completely to effectively judge the cases in a fixed time frame .
Moreover IH feels politics should be restricted to become a more serious and professional job only and not a wealth earning profession. Certain rules and regulation should be fixed for joining election (if not joining active politics), like minimum educational qualifications, mandatory advance application for clearance from regulatory authorities and subjected to verification for allegation of crime and corruption, basic knowledge of economics, national and international law, non allegiance to caste, creed, religion and community based separatism ideology, etc etc.
It is long time toretoures series of efforts , which the non politician and inteletuals, jurists and socials like our Ambedker or Anna should participate to change the system how politics should be done . Yes most will agree it is easy said then done.
