judiciary to the rescue an nth time

text of a letter sent to the press:

With the Kannada chauvinists running amok forcibly re-painting vehicle number plates in Kannada, even as the police look on helplessly despite the rapidly deteriorating crime and terrorism scenario, the direction from the Supreme Court to implement the high security registration plate scheme has not come a day too soon.

There is a very popular mail doing the rounds on the net listing out our parliamentarians according to the various misdeeds they have allegedly been involved in. Going by that, it becomes fairly clear as to why governance the country over is going from bad to worse, with courts constrained to intervene every now and then. Perhaps, therefore, it is time the courts revised the eligibility criterion itself for contesting elections.
