India, Dec. 2 -- Today many an honest citizen wonders if Indian political field has not become an open cattle market where our politicians tend to be or aspire to be treated as commodities to be bought and sold by the highest bidder. For a number of years now, the disgusting street play has been played out with the vulgarity of cheap circus comedians. We see the elected representatives being herded like cattle to resorts, star hotels or feeding grounds to protect them from poaching by conscienceless or freelance bidders. Some cash lapping or green pasture seeking need to be protected with special protection forces from political predators. Our democracy has been brought to such a sorry pass.
Many become rudderless and sell their conscience...
