The country is abuzz by talks of Presidential elections with Ms Pratibha Patil leading the race. There are many first time in this election;and all are unequivocally of dubious kind.To name a few, many MPS and MLAS would be voting from the jail,with allegations of the Presidential candidates being embroiled in one or the other criminal offence;this presidential election is a glaring example of politician -criminal nexus.This kind of unholy nexus is quite common in the third world countries ; and for this very reason their is political and social unrest leading to growing instability in the country despite showing a healthy growth in GDP.Almost all the states specially those located in the poverty stricken parts of Central and Eastern India are strife torn with sectarian violence menacingly threatening the survival of the human population.Taking a cue from US India should promote politician-businessman nexus. For this the businessmen have to shed there subservient attitude and leave there comfortable environments and enter the unethical world of politics.India would definitely benefit from their bohemian ways of functioning; a thought worth experimenting.
