No democracy is not hampering the progress of India, as first of all I would like to say that every person wants to right to do anything for an eg. 'right to say', 'right to complain', 'right to educate', 'right to do job'. And you all obviously know that it is only possible in democratic country.
So why we should go against the democracy of India. I am also agree that majority of ministers are corrupt in India but we also have the right to change our government so if we think that our government are not fully increased development of India than we can change our govt.
Now if you want to go against the democracy than why not. You can go to autocracy. Where you will tolerate the crime of your king. You will have no rights to do anything.
It is enough from my side. |

| Yes democracy is hampering the progress of india, as first of all democracy means the participation of population (citizens) for electing a suitable representative. We have vast majority of population is still uneducated, below poverty line, etc who are not capable of deciding whom to elect. |

No system in itself is perfect it is the application of it by the people and there participation which makes it better. Democracy may have its shortfall but active participation by the people may rectify it.
Also people have to implement there social rights powerfully. Right to vote, right to express, to have positive control over government, with the use of right to information get informed about the social activities in the society. |

| Hi friends! from my point of view Democracy is hampering the growth of a country because in democratic country every person have the right to put their views. If a common topic is arises in the favor of country then some people have their positive points & some have against points. And its take a lot of time to decide which people are right & due to this process the progress of democratic country go down & down & down in comparison of non democratic country. |

It depends on how you define progress. If you only go by the country's GDP, then means that China uses to force production and advancement would seem fair. But it is hardly fair if you recognize that the country, the economy, the opportunities and facilities, everything exists FOR human beings. Progress has to be defined as economic progress as well as social development. Where the people aren't free to have opinions and govern themselves, to learn and argue, to express disapproval when slighted and cultivate a rich culture to live a creative life, the entire discourse of the nation's existence changes.
Indian democracy is weak. There is no denying that. Corruption has a stronghold on our politicians and that, too, is because the we have failed to educate our entire population in terms of government responsibility. By definition, a democracy can only work well if people, armed with information and self-interest, participate.
With our enormous and diverse population, it is going to be a slow walk towards becoming super rich. But has India, historically, ever been the land of hoarding wealth? Our priority has always been to enrich ourselves with knowledge and research, nurture our people and harness that potential, and strengthen values which give muscle to our character, and wealth has no choice but to follow such greatness. |

Well honestly speaking its really hard to decide whether Democracy is hampering or not. Person from democratic country may talk in favor of topic while person from autocratic country will not. Its just difference in opinion because of the experiences that he/she went through.
Looking overall situation one can say yes up to certain extent it is hampering and already have given the birth to the monsters like corruption, politics, population and other related problems in India, but counter view can be it is there in country like China to who got the highest GDP in the world.
'NO SYSTEM IS PERFECT, PEOPLE FROM THE COUNTRY HAVE TO CHANGE THAT BY PARTICIPATING IN THE SYSTEM AND BEING THE PART OF THE SYSTEM. ' This thought itself suggest democratic thinking. The person from the country where there is Dictatorship will hardly say this unless he is having so much of power with him. |

I feel yes democracy has hampered India's growth because its all a matter of electing a suitable candidate but all over here works on majority that should not be the case you can elect a person of your choice that's alright but you know what I personally feel that each party should be given a chance say if one has got 300 votes then that party will govern for 30 days n so on. Then accordingly there will be competition n who is gonna get benefited are the citizens of India.
So lets once try this out gradually we will come to know that who is the best n next time of-course the best one will obviously get more votes! |

| No system is perfect in itself. Democracy just gives us a chance to select the best person to run our country. So if we select the wrong person, it our our fault and not the fault of democracy. People who are in against of democracy should like autocracy. Then again they would have problem with autocracy like people faced in Libya and Egypt. So in nutshell no system can give a full proof guarantee of a successful administration. It depends upon the people of the country how they contribute in the success of their ruling system. |

If democracy were hamper the country's progress, then there won't be any young intelligent minds. There would be no individuals' innovative ideas. Democracy not only meant for Right to Vote, democracy means freedom of thinking.
Yes I agree that there are people who misuse the democracy, force others to adapt themselves to misuse it further. But putting stop on democracy not only prevent corruption and other social issues, but also cease new innovations and inventions which are the major factor for development progress of any country.
The only solution to this problem, is to re-construct the definition of democracy, so that we can enjoy freedom without abusing it. |

I agree that today a large amount of population remains uneducated but why don't we look on the brighter side of it which is this huge democratic nation has given us the freedom to choose whomever we feel right.
It is this democratic nation which granted various acts to name few of them " RIGHT TO INFORMATION ACT " "RIGHT TO EDUCATION " WOMEN RESERVATION BILL " AND THE LATEST under process jan lokpal bill. Which might arise a question that all of them must have actually forced the government but the answer is no, there was not a single issue of violence and agitation. Though jan lokpal bill was an exception putting government under pressure of fast unto death.
But I believe we all should feel proud we belong to such large democratic nation. Like in all nations there are some issue of weak points but then which country doesn't have flaws.
Look on the nations like Pakistan and china for instance these nation can also burst like ussr did.
Take another example of recession in 2008 as India was not affected much or I must say was standing like a wall where America and other nations fell down to their knees, it was this democratic culture of ours which has helped coming up through the hardest times. In the end all I can say we should believe in our nation and should try to improve the flaws. Nothing is perfect in this world and so are we and so is our nation. |

Secondly most of educated masses of people don't go for voting as they are not concrned so now who remains to vote are those majority of whom are brought by politicians by buying them with money to vote. So naturally those who win are not suitable candidates, but those who buy votes or who fight elections on issues unrelated to nations progress. So its better to have democracy abolished or to make changes to the election process. |
