Democracy Compromised: A Study of Adiga’s The White Tiger

The paper tries to underscore that how one of the oldest democracies of the world is exposed to corruption. Corruption has brought India not only to halt but also dragging it backward. Corruption in India stems from the connection between bureaucrats, politicians and criminals. Adiga writes that there are mainly three diseases in India typhoid, cholera and election fever of which election is the worst. Election is the very fountainhead of all types of corruption. Voters casting their votes for money or even for a bottle of liquor are a common practice in many cities of India. Politicians before election make many promises but once government is formed they forget the promises. Balram Halwai, the protagonist, owes his success to the bribe that he gave to political institutions. In corruption police stands second to none. Taking hefty amount of bribe, they protect the big-wigs from legal proceedings. They harass and arrest mostly the have-nots and the honest. The police are totally rotten in Delhi, the capital of India. “If they see you without a seat belt, you’ll have to bribe them a hundred rupees”, says Balram. The police appointed with a view to control crime and maintain law and order promotes crime by taking bribe. Corruption in education system has crippled the poor. The mid-day meal of the students is taken home by the teacher of the school. Balram’s school teacher sells the uniform of the students in the neighbouring villages to earn profit. He is carried to the hospital, where no doctor is present saved a ward boy. The ward boy tells Balram that the doctor might come in the evening only when Balram gives him ten rupees bribe. Balram asks a person who is beside him “why isn’t a doctor here uncle”. The man answers that the doctor gives a fat amount of bribe to higher officials to get that job and after getting the job the bribes government medical superintendent one third of their salary to mark their attendance. The corruption in health department costs the life of Balram’s father. Blaram’s father has been suffering from tuberculosis. He is carried to the hospital, where no doctor is present saved a ward boy. The ward boy tells Balram that the doctor might come in the evening only when Balram gives him ten rupees bribe. Balram asks a person who is beside him “why isn’t a doctor here uncle”. The man answers that the doctor gives a fat amount of bribe to higher officials to get that job and after getting the job the bribes government medical superintendent one third of their salary to mark their attendance. People lose their confidence in their politicians and civil servants. The largest democracy of the world is being compromised.

DEKONSTRUKCIJA UREĐIVAČKE POLITIKE DNEVNOG LISTA „DANAS” U VREME PARLAMENTARNE PREDIZBORNE KAMPANJE U SRBIJI 2016

Način praćenja predizborne kampanje se smatra najboljim testom stepena profesionalnosti za koji se zalaže uređivačka politika nekog medija. Cilj rada je dekonstrukcija uređivačke politike dnevnog lista „Danas” u vreme predizborne kampanje za vanredne parlamentarne izbore 2016. Korišćena metoda je kvantitativno-kvalitativna analiza sadržaja. Korpus obuhvata 12 brojeva dnevnog lista „Danas” i isto toliko brojeva dodatka „Izborna Groznica: informiši se i glasaj!”, ukupno 330 tekstova. „Danas” je u izveštavanju o predizbornoj kampanji 2016. očuvao profesionalne standarde i u osnovnom izdanju i u dodatku. Uredništvo je izbalansirano predstavilo najznačajnije liste i kandidate, nije se bavilo marginalnim listama i kandidatima. Odabralo je važne događaje, a izbegavalo da izveštava o događajima koji su kvalifikovani kao otvoreno državno reklamiranje. U dodatku posvećenom izborima dominirala je medijska inicijativa i novi formati, te je tako izbegnut kliše u praćenju predizbornih aktivnosti stranaka. Najprisutniji pojedinačni subjekt je predsednik tehničke vlade. Muškarci dominiraju i kao subjekti i kao objekt. Najzastupljenija stranka je SNS, najzastupljenija tema su izbori kao takvi i proceduralna pitanja. Komentar se izdvaja kao najprisutniji žanr u inače dobroj ponudi različitih medijskih žanrova. Iako je „Danas” dnevna novina sa nacionalnom pokrivenošću, ostao je beogradocentričan.

Science and the General Election

The UK is in the grip of election fever. Political parties are campaigning, MPs are squabbling and policies are being debated. The rosettes are out in force, but where does science fit into this?

Election fever and the football: a game of rhetoric

With the general election looming ever closer and political parties doing all they can to secure votes, Ian Peate argues that Governments should stop game playing with the NHS and engage in meaningful and open debate with key stakeholders about its future, the level of funding available and the quality and scope of services that they can realistically deliver through the staff they have.

Election fever and what it means for nursing

May 2010's General Election has been one of the most hotly debated and fought contests since 1992, and not least as a result of present woes over the economy. Indeed, the situation in which the economy finds itself will have significant effects on the public sector—including education and health—regardless of who the new leader is.

2010 will be a time of change for nursing and health care. Election fever will set in and we must make sure nursing’s voice rings out loud and clear.

Election fever: TVNs must make their voice heard

Election fever is descending on the UK and the political parties are already starting to jockey for position. As usual, the health service finds itself the pawn in the race for election and, ultimately, government itself. Political parties will be using the health service as capital in their strategies. The media will also be using it to inflame the already heightened awareness of the public. Waiting lists, infection rates and dissatisfaction with current services are all fair targets in order to get the cross on the ballot paper.

Scoops and spins

As election fever hots up, journalists reporting on crime and home affairs are coming under growing pressure and scrutiny. Law and order is one of the three key election issues, along with the economy and education, so all sides are baying for attention while attempting to stamp on any bad publicity and perceived bias. This, combined with a Home Secretary obsessed with publicity, and an equally high profile shadow in Jack Straw, means that journalists covering the patch are now in constant fear of damage to their ear drums. The contest between Michael Howard and Jack straw – be it on sentencing, guns, knives, prisons, or young offenders – has become a bloody and at times absurd battle.
