Double Entry Notes
“We may not have sewage, drinking water, and Olympic gold medals, but we do have democracy.”

“The animal’s bluff had worked. The great socialist had agreed to cut a clean deal with them.”

“I am India’s most faithful voter, and I still have not seen the inside of a voting booth.”

“If I may go back to that ‘Wanted’ poster your excellency. Being called a murderer: fine, I have no object to that…But to be called a murderer by the police! What a fucking Joke.
“On the day of the election, one man went mad… he declared himself a citizen of democracy of India and he wants to cast his vote.”
“There you have it, that was the positive side of the great socialist. He humiliated all our masters-which is why we kept voting him back in.”
“A total of ninety-three criminal cases-for murder, rape, grand larceny, gun running, pimping, and many other…are pending.”
“He had to clean things up but the mud from mother Ganga had sucked him in. Others say he was already dirty.”

Even though India, isn’t as advanced as China is, the people of the city have one of the most important legislations vital to any society trying to make it better than it is.
The great socialist is a perpetual liar and the peoples are not his best interests at the moment and he will continue to deceive them until he is no longer in power.

People of lower casts systems cannot vote and the vote by not voting, as crazy as that seems.
The police are in no position call people murderers because they once beat a rickshaw puller to death who wanted to exercise his right to vote.

That guy is doesn’t care for his life. Everyone knows there will be consequences for anyone trying to vote when their not assigned to.
The great socialist is a malicious individual but because of his high power no one will vote him out of office.
India is not a place tourists should want to visit. It is crime ridden and out of control. Someone must step in.
He was a corrupt politician from the beginning and took advantage of his opportunities to enhance his own well-being and the citizens seen right through him.

“The Lizard”

“It was one of the good marriages. We had the boy and we screwed the girl’s family hard. I remember exactly what we got in dowry from the girl’s side, and thinking about it even now makes my mouth fill up with water.”
China, Afghanistan, and Abyssinia

The fear of lizard by Balram is striking because he let fear almost ruin his life before it got started. He would have never attained a proper education and wouldn’t be smart enough to live the life he set for himself.
Marriage in India is not about love but more so about money. Both the girl and the boy’s family know this but why does it still occur?

It is interesting that he makes an assertion that at least some countries have not been ruled by others. Every part of the world has changed hands many times and will continue to change hands in the future, it is human nature and it cannot be stopped.
By Balram not been giving a name, it seems like the world had given up on him. His acceptance of that means he understood how his society operated and he was willing to be ordinary like the other Indian men.
