In one of Max Weber’s last public lectures—“Politics as a Vocation” (1919)—he asked, what is the meaning of political action in the context of a whole way of life? (More accurately, he used the term Lebensführung: what is the meaning of political action in the context of a whole conduct of life, a theme we will return to in the next section). He asked, what is political about political action and what is the place of “the political” in the ongoing conduct of social life?
Until recently we might have been satisfied with an answer that examined how various political institutions and processes function in society: the state, the government, the civil service, the courts, the democratic process, etc. However, in recent years, among many other examples we could cite, we have seen how the events of the Arab Spring in Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt (2010–2011) put seemingly stable political institutions and processes into question. Through the collective action of ordinary citizens, the long-lasting authoritarian regimes of Ben Ali, Gadhafi, and Mubarak were brought to an end through what some called “revolution.” Not only did the political institutions all of a sudden not function as they had for decades, they were also shown not to be at the centre of political action at all.
We can see the example in Indian politics. Here in in India casts, religions, communities plays vital role rather than major issues in front of nation.
How it works?
1. Selection of candidates:
In India political parties give ticket to candidate mostly on the basis of his and his opponent's caste or religion. Number of voters of the caste and religions are the key factors while selecting candidates.
2. Vote bank politics.
Vote bank politics is huge issue in front of Indian politics now a days. Every political party focuses on different part of society and community for creating their vote bank. They appease that specific community for attracting them.
in such dirty games people starts fighting, hating each others. Many time it turns into riots but who cares? Those leaders want votes only.
