Political Satire, Tales of corruption and incompetence, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
India is truly blessed that our population is dominated by those who identify as Hindu - the most noble and altruistic people in the history of mankind. Irrespective of your caste, gender or religion, we know what’s best for you and have now mobilized our government to work in your best interest.

Worst MPs of the outgoing Lok Sabha

Our parliament is made up of 543+ MPs who directly represent us and influence laws that rule our lives. Yet, during Lok Sabha elections, we stay obsessed with national political leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi. The reality is that there is no single political leader who can magically transform the country. If we keep electing MPs and MLAs who are incompetent and corrupt, the system will stay broken. So before you vote for your favourite Read more [...]

Kejriwal’s media-fed frenzied ‘movement’ inspired many to join the AAP. But even in the party’s early days, some key personnel chose to break-up with the party within months. And as they left, everyone said the same thing - there is no democracy in Kejriwal's party and little difference in the way AAP functions when compared to other (so called 'corrupt') parties. Hasya Kavi Kumar Vishwas is not a happy man these days. Though his smile Read more [...]

India has always been a world leader at electing those with pending criminal cases. Our political parties have forever provided us with a steady pipeline of criminally tainted candidates .

Jan 2021: India's farming crisis has been on for decades and what we are seeing right now is just the tipping point of systemic issues that have existed forever.

We heard them loud and clear last year as they screamed hoarse about the need for empowering women in India. In the lead up to Lok Sabha 2014, all political parties told us how they plan to tackle gender equality. And boy did they perform, when it came to taking action during the elections, i.e. giving tickets to women. Overall, only (8%) of candidates in Lok Sabha 2014 were women and currently just 11% of the parliament is female. Among the major Read more [...]

Over the last month, we shattered voting records. An all time high of 66.4% of the national electorate voted. And the result is that we have resoundingly selected the most criminal parliament ever.

It's the season of political rhetoric. Indian politics, is known for candidates making tall claims and promises during campaigning followed by non-action.

Why should we accept ‘criminal’ Kejriwal?

Did you know?, Our favourite political personalities, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Over the last two years, Arvind Kejriwal has been on a crusade to bring about societal reforms.

BJP vs Congress – Distribution of tickets to Muslims

Why should there be Women in Political Parties ???

Did you know?, Numbers don't lie, , , , , , , ,
It’s no secret that women are under-represented in Indian politics. However strategically speaking does it make sense for political parties to back female politicians?
