Pillars of Indian Democracy

With just two weeks to go until the world’s largest democracy goes to
the polls, India has been confronted with a political campaign so brazen
in its championing of corruption that it has stunned many voters.

With his spotless white homespun outfit, Nehru cap and slightly loopy grin,
Pappu Raj looks every inch the archetypal Indian politician.

His manifesto, however, has marked him out as singularly indiscreet,
including as it does a pledge to license bribery, a promise to teach acolytes
“420 ways to pocket other people’s money”, and an appeal to voters not to
take part in the upcoming general elections – lest they block his path to power.

Raj and his “Bleed India” party, adverts for which have been plastered
across the media, are spoofs. The group behind the satire is yet to come
forward, but it is understood to have been created by The Times of India,
the country’s bestselling English-language newspaper.
