RajDick Sardardai – Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. It's my pleasure to invite each of you to share our presentation of an interesting debate. There are four participants, each representing a different section of our miserable and terrified society of today, wrestling with the problem of earth-warming and ecological devastation of our planet.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's an act different from the routine and regular. The four participants include a politician, a terrorist, an industrialist and a common man. Now let us listen to what extent each of the participants contribute to the destruction of our planet in their own inimitable ways.

Next we welcome Mr. Politician on to the dais to present his contribution towards spoiling the planet. (music of Sivamani on drums)

And next, ladies n gentlemen we welcome the VIP participant of the evening, Mr. Industrialist. We are thankful for his participation today as he was reluctant to come because of his video conference with the Finance Minister. ( music of saxophone by Kadri Gopalnath)

Last but not the least, mega entry of the show, this participant who represents us – "The Common Man". The thrust a common man carries is based on the choices made by us individually in shaping the destiny of this planet. ( Vande Matram chorus)

Let the show begin, says RajDick Sardardai

Politician: I am the much-despised neta, a character people love to hate, yet they stand in long queues to elect me to power.[turns and spits paan-gutka towards Rajdick Sardardai] I preach gandhigiri, but promote babugiri & chamchagiri. My only mission in life is to loot this country and fatten my illegal Swiss bank account. For me, the definition of democracy is government of the moneybags, government by the moneyed and government for money-making. I believe in having no scruples or values. I'm confident of winning every election by pouring barrels of liquor, by distributing Saree's and by paying for every vote. By the time my term ends, I always recover my investment manifold because I am good at boot-licking, irrespective of who is wearing the boot.

Industrialist : I am the well-respected capitalist who owns almost 80 percent of this planet. I run all the governments of the world, behind-the-scenes of course, but allow the petty politician to believe that he is in charge. I believe in corruption and I owe most of my wealth, success and power to by ability to corrupt everyone - politicians, bureaucrats and media and through them, the common man who has no other choice but to buy my products. Being 'straightforward' and 'sincere' are bad words for me and don't exist in my dictionary. I employ accountants to find loopholes in law to avoid paying taxes and guide the experts in cooking account books whenever necessary. By the way, Hypocrisy is my middle name. I buy land at subsidized rates from governments, but preach 'subsidies must end' to governments. I talk of virtues of free market enterprise but seek bailouts from tax-payers money every time my entrepreneurial qualities are tested by cruel markets.

Politician – I've engineered mass destruction of life and property on an unimaginable scale. I've waged countless wars that have killed millions all over the world and used nuclear weapons against innocent civilians. As an imperialist, I've sent my armies to remote corners of the world, destroyed the ingenious culture of hundreds of societies and enslaved them so that I could exploit their resources. As a dictator in countries like Germany, China or USSR, I've organized ethnic cleansing and genocides against my own population. I have succeeded in splitting countries along ethnic, language and cultural lines. As a communist, I've masterminded cultural revolutions and wiped out intelligentsia whenever they posed a threat to my absolute power. Have you forgotten Cambodia? As a right-wing nationalist, I've encouraged religious fanaticism and orchestrated communal riots.

Terrorist - Mr. Politician, you had your days of success, but now your time of glory is over. You are no longer able to wage wars as easily as you used to. Imperialism is outlawed, dictatorship is in retreat in most corners of the world, communism is dead and right-wing rhetoric is no longer accepted by the common man. Now its my time! I'm universally feared and get more media coverage for killing a mere 200 people than you managed to get for killing two million. You are a coward who does his dark deeds covertly and in great secrecy, but I kill openly and fearlessly willingly sacrificing my life in the process.

Industrialist - Mr. Terrorist, the after-effects of your terror attacks remain only for few days, but the impact which I create remains forever. For example, the Bhopal gas tragedy. The people of Bhopal are still dying from the diseases unleashed by the gas leak from my factories. I've destroyed forests, polluted lakes and ruined our planet forever for our future generations. Millions may have died from the acts of politicians and terrorists, but millions are born de-formed to replace them. But can the damage I've done to the environment of the planet ever be reversed?

Politician – Mr. Industrialist, none of your efforts would have been successful had I not turned a blind eye to your acts. I've waged countless wars for control of drug and oil markets and ruined several nations - Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and a whole continent, Africa - in the process. You have taken hundreds of years to ravage the planet. But I can destroy the entire world with a single push of the nuclear button. Have you forgotten Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I destroyed both the cities completely in a couple of hours and I can similarly destroy the whole planet, by pushing a button.

Terrorist – Mr. Politician, you can destroy the world, but you would never do that because you need the world. If the entire world goes up in nuclear smoke, whom will you rule? A king needs his subjects for he is a complete zero without them. But as a terrorist I've no love for this world since I've 72 virgins waiting for me in sweet heaven irrespective of whether I wear an orange thread on my wrist. Whenever I manage to steal your nukes, I will feel no hesitation in using them to destroy this world forever. You need me more than I do. Don't you remember 9/11? I created a global psychological trauma that changed the world forever. Without my daredevilry, you, Mr.Politician, wouldn't have been able to wage war on Afghanistan & Iraq and capture the opium and oil fields in these two countries. Without my adventurous actions, the industrialist wouldn't have acquired the contracts allowing him to exploit the resources of these war-ravaged countries. I don't just kill, but kill with with such style using sound and special effects that every massacre of mine gets utmost media coverage..

Terrorist – Enough of your boasting, Mr. Industrialist. Before our planet dies, I will kill you also.. Hahahaha.. If you don't live to see the success of your endeavours what's the point of your success? Hehehehe.. All your achievements and accomplishments of your life can be turned into dust by a single bullet fired from my gun into your swollen head..

{Terrorist laughs and blows off the head of the industrialist}

Politician – "Help! Help! commandos, commandos, take me outta here." And runs away. Two commandos arrive on the scene and whisk the terrorist away.

RajDick Sardardai - Now only the common man is left standing. Lets see what the common man has to say.

RajDick Sardardai to Common man: You are aware of the situation; do you have anything to say?????

Common man – What can I say? I'm just a stupid, stupid common man. I get fleeced and killed by everyone - politicians, industrialists and terrorists. I am the root cause of this mass destruction. The dangerous links between the terrorist, politician and the industrialist can never be fully understood by an uneducated person like me.

I'm a stupid common man who allows moneygrubbers, criminals and history-sheeters to enter legislative bodies by voting for them during elections. Without my vote, no crooked politician would have the opportunity to loot this country. And yet what choice do I have? I have to choose from the same set of criminals every time  elections are called. I have to buy the same adulterated stuff from shops retailing cheap goods from abroad or what the Industrialist makes.

I get seduced by the industrialist's sleek advertising and buy products from him that I do not really want contributing to the ecological ruin of the earth. As long as the industrialist can keep me satiated with his junk products, I don't care how many forests have to be mowed down or how much of fertile soil was lost to mining to bring his goodies on my table.

I've allowed the killing of few hundred people by the terrorist to install so much fear and hatred in my heart that I've began demanding a war little realizing that it could lead to a nuclear armageddon. I let the terrorist win every time by not realizing that his agenda is to bring me down to his level and every time I respond to his terror attacks by spewing venomous hate for rabid TV dogs who thrust their mikes on my face for 'exclusives' , I become a bit of terrorist myself,

I'm very gullible and allow the politician, the industrialist and the terrorist to manipulate me as per their fancy. Without my active support and participation, none of the three would have succeeded in damaging the planet and hence I deserve the top prize for contributing to the destruction of our planet.

And now for the audience poll, says RajDick Sardardai. The winner is......
