Politics Isn't A Dirty Game But Polluted By Dishonest Players

Sangeeth Krishna G S, His Highness Maharajas Government Law College Ernakulam

Evolution modified primitive life into complex homo sapiens. Time and circumstances reworked and refined the physical and mental abilities of homo sapiens. Consequently, an anthropocentric era began, where man overpowers nature. This granted him the ability to settle and cultivate. The glorified human settlement known as civilizations, are the forerunners of cities.

As a matter of fact, this settlement created conflicts, as the needs are many, but resources are few. Hence there started the conceptualisation of laws and governance. During the course of time, the mode of governance saw changes. Supposedly, one of the most popular modes of governance is democracy. It isn’t just popular, it is populist too.

The democratic system of governance that started in India from 1947 onwards saw many facelifts. There were challenging and disappointing times. But the failures were later seen as a learning curve. Consequently, they were rectified to prevent the repetition of such calamitous situations of the past. In spite of that, some diseases that carve democracy are still left untreated, and the deadliest is corruption. The same wretch which destroyed the greatest of empires and civilisation, even the great Roman empire.
