The Cartoon Politics


Suhas Palshikar responds in today's The Hindu. He raises one plus five thought provoking issues in this piece. Concludes by pointing out the transformation of the understanding of the study of politics from statistical and historical information to dynamic notion of politics in the following words.
Politics is about creating and running institutions; politics is about power and about power being used for various collective purposes; politics is not a sanitised anthem of democracy but a shrill and not so sweet mix of different sounds. This politics produces governance — and sometimes may even fail to produce governance. Politics is ‘good' and ‘bad' — unlike the romantic movie, there are men and women in politics rather than sanitised heroes and heroines and villains and side villains. Is this not a robust and democratic depiction of politics?
