Dilemma of Democracy ~ Bhupender Gupta
A week to go before the world knows who the world's most powerful person is going to be. The contest is tough & so is the dilemma. Caught between the rock & the hard place, the people of the US plausibly don't know how to act, what should they do, whom should they vote & what is in store for them. Who will take America to greater heights or who will dump the monolith reputation of their great country in the next 4 years.
Is the situation unenviable ? Perhaps Yes. Both the prospective presidential candidate have been exposed of their arguably unpardonable weaknesses. Hillary for her mails (read : e mails) & Trump for females. The unseemly debates between the two have only added to the confusion & augmented apprehension among voters of the necessary acumen needed by the two to lead the country. The Americans are thus getting increasingly worried about their own future as well as the future of their Country.
Caste/Religion politics is having its effect on US elections too. Donald Trump campaign team has released posters asking "Hindus" to vote for him. Donald Trump’s son Eric even offered ‘aarti’ in Florida to impress the Hindus.
