"Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason."
- Mark Twain
1. The Promise Factory
Every election season, the streets are flooded with promises. Free education? Sure. Unlimited electricity? Of course! A job for every person and a cow for every household? Why not? Indian politicians treat manifestos like a buffet — just pile on whatever sounds tasty to the public, knowing full well no one will actually finish their plate.
But once the election dust settles, so do the promises. The new leadership enters office, and suddenly, delivering on those promises is about as realistic as turning traffic jams into dance parties.
2. The Family Business
Politics in India is the ultimate family-run business. If your dad was a politician, congratulations, you’re the heir apparent. It’s like politics is an ancient Indian tradition passed down through generations. Forget experience, qualifications, or public service — all you need is the right last name! Politicians’ children are more likely to inherit a party ticket than a pair of shoes.
Watching these dynasties unfold is like watching a bad Bollywood sequel — except the acting is worse, and there's no happy ending in sight.
3. The Deflection Artists
Indian politicians have mastered the art of deflection. Ask them about the rising cost of onions, and they’ll give you a lecture on ancient Indian civilization. Question them about job creation, and suddenly they’re talking about the glorious past of the Harappan cities. It's like they have a time machine, except it only goes backward.
No matter how tough the issue, they’ll turn the conversation into an ancient history lesson that would put most university professors to shame. Who needs solutions when you’ve got nostalgia?

5. The Speech Marathoners
You know you’re in for a treat when an Indian politician starts a speech. What begins as a policy discussion quickly becomes an impassioned (often incoherent) rant covering everything from mythology to moral lessons. You could cook a three-course meal by the time they finish speaking, and they still won’t have answered the original question.
Every speech is like a cricket match — it drags on forever, and in the end, no one remembers what the point was.
6. The Social Media Warriors
Gone are the days when politicians had to meet people face-to-face. Now, they fight their battles on Twitter. Indian politicians love social media — not to connect with the people, but to roast each other. Twitter spats between politicians look like schoolyard fights, except with bigger egos and worse comebacks.
It’s like watching a stand-up comedy show, except the punchlines are unintentional, and the joke’s usually on us.
7. The Great Houdinis
Once elected, many politicians have a talent for disappearing. You’ve voted them in, but where did they go? It's like they have a magic trick up their sleeve. One minute they’re campaigning in your neighbourhood, promising the world, and the next, they vanish into thin air — only to reappear right before the next election with a fresh set of promises.
Maybe they're moonlighting as illusionists when they’re not running the country.
Conclusion: The Never-Ending Show
Indian politics is a full-time circus, complete with jugglers, illusionists, and clowns. While we may get frustrated by their antics, it’s hard not to admire the sheer absurdity of it all. No matter how many promises they break, how many speeches they give, or how many Twitter wars they start, they always find a way back into the spotlight — because, in the end, Indian politics is the greatest show of this world and in the name of a leader they use a common man as a pawn to make their plot
Also, we commoners to play a major role few of them just blindly support some politicians and allow them to exploit us think as if he/ she please stop doing it …. This blog is just an eye-opener for you all as to how we are acting as plot makers for them. do have a cynical approach towards politicians
At the end, I would like to end the blog with this line
"A little scepticism is good for the soul and for democracy."
