Famous Indian Politicians

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

The Indian Parliament would be a perfect place to demonstrate the true richness in the diversity of India. There is a political representation from almost all the sections of the society inside the parliament. Politics is no longer the occupation of the old, the recently concluded General Elections have demonstrated active participation by young politicians and they have also been been approved by the public at large. Let us accept the fact that there are a wide variety of reasons why people enter politics. We have seen history-sheeters join politics and also people hungry for power and wealth. These are definitely the downsides of Indian political set-up wherein we see bad elements enter politics for purely selfish reasons. On the other hand, we have also witnessed people choosing politics as their occupation because they want to make a difference to the society, they want to contribute, carry on the legacy of their ancestors who have made a name for themselves serving the country. There have been many famous politicians who have had earned massive mandate from the people of India and have made a name for themselves in the mainstream Indian politics. India has been blessed with many famous politicians, right from the veteran Indian politicians like Jyoti Basu, Atal Behari Vajpayee, Farookh Abdullah to seasoned campaigners like Sheila Dikshit, Sonia Gandhi, Lalu Yadav and now to the relatively new entrants like Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Akhilesh Yadav. These famous Indian politicians have all played an active role in Indian politics, some have retired the others are still working religiously towards strengthening their respective political parties. I just hope that Indian politics is enthused with more of the young blood and people choose politics as a reason to serve the nation and not themselves.
