Hey,Mr.Sanat,Starting with one question,you proceeded to a slew of them and added a comment to boot,making it tough to answer in one go.Still and all,I shall attempt or die trying,
you being a good friend.
Our Election Commission has of late started wearing dentures.They don't have the guts to
challenge the truth of any candidate's averments in his nomination papers.On top of that the law of the land is so skewed that the
candidates and their parties take advantage of every loophole to get away with anything.When all the political parties are tarred with the same brush,do you have any hope that any reform is at all possible.If so,I admire you for being an optimist.Even if the parliament agrees to bring about election reforms unanimously,the reforms would be worded in such delightfully
vague language that there would be more litigation than what our courts can handle,
compounded by the already heavy backlog of cases yet to be decided.You talk of some
"unethical politicians" wielding clout.As far as I can see ,every politician,including the lowest ranked field worker,has clout backed by muscle
and money,which ,you will agree, make for a devastating combination.You just can't win.
Should a senior politician be rejected by the
electorate,the party refuses to accept the people's verdict by quietly bringing him in through the back door i.e. the second and easily available Rajya Sabha route.This is clearly thumbing their nose at the electorate ,
as if to say ,"we couldn't care less for your
rejection of our candidate;see,we can always
get him in our way".
Your idea about restricting the class of people
eligible to vote is utopian and will be thrown out without any thought by the powers that be because then their days would be numbered.
Finally,your appeal to Mr.Gopalaswami will
fail because ,I am sure,he is hard of hearing.
I hope,in my limited way,I have answered your queries.Keep plugging away,I am with you all the way.
Best regards,
Raj Kumar

The question is who will do it, which is the constitutionaly authorised body to take up the Electoral Reforms in India.As far as I know only the parliament can do it and that too through a constitutionl ammendment.
For this a two thirds majority of MPs is required to vote in favour of the changes. The parliament ,as constituted now, is packed with many shady characters and will never agree to any change which will prevent them or their sibblings from getting elected in future.
So, where do we go from here. The supreem court can perhaps intervene in this matter and interpret the laws and the constitunal provisions to safe guard the hijacking of the country by criminals and goondas.
The other way is very painful and that is to wait for the masses to act on their own and take the law in their hands and physically prevent the degradition of the institutions and society.
God save this country.

on the face of this question, particular the convicted criminals (no longer the only accused or framed) should not be allowed to take part interior the elections, yet then no physique so a good distance talks approximately combating criminals to solid their votes.

The Election Commission cannot purify the country. Once it tried, but failed miserably. You must be remembering the case of Mr TN Seshan, the former Chief Election Commissioner. So, nothing can be done about this. Only wait till the proper time comes.

I don't know about India... But, I don't think the rule you suggest should apply in the US.
For instance... MLK had a criminal record... yet, I believe he would have been a fantastic president for us...
Just a thought...
