Cornering Individuals

Election campaigning is at its peak with candidates and their teams mustering as much support as possible, in the midst of all this some dirty tactics are also being used by supporters of one of the parties. Today I was at campus, after a long while, and I observed people talking politics everywhere, (perhaps it made sense because 50 % of the students did not need to be there on the first place), but the most disturbing part was the lack of respect for the opponent and the lack of a level playing field.

I saw people mocking their competitors' supporters as people who are bewildered, who don't have the sense of what's right, or even as fools. This trend has been quite prevalent from the second semester, and has put an unnecessary fear in the minds of supporters of a party that is apparantely "WEAK" .

There is still a long time before we could decide the winner, the strong or the weak, but sadly, campaigning today, seemed to be focused on cornering individuals rather than proving own credentials.

There ought to be some difference between diabolic locali politics, and politics in one of the most prestigious institutes of the country, but then again, perhaps some people involved in politics of this institute are both Local & Diabolic politicans....

Stereotyping desi as a term of negativity is repugnant and that, too, on your part!

Respect your roots. No point of being a journalistic vigilante when you are too afraid to admit who you really are - A desi at heart.

Respect.

'd like to correct you here SIR !!

This is not an aim to disrespect someone desi(that is being a pakistani,sindhi, muhajir, or whatever), read the entire post, it says "desi politicians" ... which basically means the politicians of this country, and the last line says some people are like "desi politicians", that does not imply that there's something wrong about being desi,it simply means politics within our system is corrupted, and evil...

Ah, makes sense now. But, I'd still say that desi is not the right word. How about 'local' or if speaking of a wider scope 'national' or 'continental'? Don't tinker with the desis or even the word :)
