Democracy is Hampering India's Progress

According to me to some extent democracy is hampering india's progress because if somebody tried to do their work sincerely they will be overthrown very soon. First this should be stopped. Noting is impossible so if we all together raise our voice against this we could stop all those evil practices. And I am not at all blaming democracy because if we don't have democracy do you think that we will now have the right to post these things, express our ideas freely. So 4 a country's development democracy is very much important and we all are lucky because we have a democracy and if we try we can overthrow the evils from our society and then surely India will progress.

Hai friends I would like to tell about my opinion democracy means all the people of a country can vote to elect right representative democracy as allowed almost anyone to become our leader be it an un educated or something with a criminal background.

Yes of course democracy is not that good for economical development of our country because long term objectives can't be fulfilled due to fear of loosing next election so minister focus on such objectives which can be fulfilled in 3-4 years and could help them in winning next elections, TRANSFER PAYMENTS are also a huge threat in economic development of India like distribution of cycles, laptops etc. In such distribution no production activity is involved but politicians have to do this for their vote bank purpose and last thing decision making is slow process in democracy.

Hello everyone.

In my sense, democracy is good only when we take it seriously and don't try to use it in our way or for our purpose. Democracy provides freedom for doing tasks and think in own way. But we misuse this freedom. Which affect our Indian economy as well.

Hi. Friends.

Well honestly speaking it's 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.

Well democracy is not just of the people, it is by the people also. So being the citizens of this country, we all have our roles to play for the development of this country. We all know our rights and we protest for that but no one knows his/her fundamental duties. The system is made by us and to make it ideal one, only we have to correct it. The judicial system of the country needs to be strengthened. There should be strict laws against criminals. Cases must not hang for years and fast track judgement system should be introduced. That will surely curb corruption and crimes in India.

Democracy is a very diplomatic term to comment about.

On one hand it is like a curse for India in form of corruption, unemployment, scams,

Poverty etc. Because what democracy gives us after 66 years of independence is a 'gang' of illiterate and corrupted ministers who are ready to do any kind of scams for their welfare, agencies like CBI, IT DEPARTMENT, SALES TAX DEPARTMENT who are independent organizations only on paper but works only on the guidelines of corrupted ministers. Politicians who divide country on religion basis only to full their vote banks and there are 'n' number of reasons one can give to curse democracy.

But on the other hand we are too fortunate we are living in democratic country like India. Because only democracy can provide us equal rights and duties. In India the involvement of government in personal and religious beliefs is negligible. Government provide equal right to every person to survive as per their customs. Because personally I can not tolerate a government like China which decide how much children I can gave birth or to take permission from government to gave birth to an extra child.

So, finally what I concluded is that no government or country is perfect. It is the responsibility of citizens to make their country perfect.

Thanks for your precious time.

I think democracy is not hampering us because But India, as a democratic country, has progressed in many aspects. It has archived self-sufficiency in food grains as a result of the green revolution. People vote for change whenever a government fails to come up to the expectations of the people. India has been a successful democratic country only because the people are law-abiding, self-disciplined and have the sense of social and moral responsibilities.

For a democracy to be fully successful, the electorate should be literate and politically conscious. They should be fully aware of their rights and privileges. The illiterate masses of India should be given education so that they can sensibly vote for the right leaders. The USA, Britain, Germany and Japan are successful democratic countries and gave progressed in every sphere because the masses are literate.

There should be quality in every sphere of life. The politicians should also respect the true spirit of democracy. They should refrain from corruption caste and communal politics. The citizens should elect leaders with good moral values and integrity. People should be guided to choose their representatives. They should not be influenced by anyone in this respect. Individuals should learn tolerance and compromise and understand that freedom in not unbridled but dependent on not harming another individual's well being.

Democracy demands from the common man a certain level of ability and character, like rational conducts, an intelligent understanding of public affair, independent justice and unselfish devotion to public interest. People should not allow communalism, separatism, casteism, terrorism, etc to raise their heads. They are a threat to democracy. The government, the NGOs and the people together should work collectively for the economic development of the nation. Changes should come through peaceful, democratic and constitutional means. The talented youth of today should be politically educated so that they can become effective leaders of tomorrow.

Democracy is for the people, of the people and by the people, and democracy is not hampering us cause the free flow of information is vital to democracy I think that the internet does in fact encourage democracy, because the free flow of information helps people communicate, organize and disseminate a wide range of information. The internet, primarily social media websites, were instrumental in recent pushes around the world to overthrow oppressive governments in favor of democracies, such as in Syria and Egypt.

First of all I would like you to stop being emotional about democracy. The fact is if it weren't for the democracy, we'd not have wasted the huge amount of money and time invested in elections every term from past 70 years of India's freedom. Instead the elections would have been carried peacefully and in a much more economical way.

If it weren't for the democratic government that we have, political and economical decisions of the country would have been taken with much ease and better expertise. For every decision on a policy or bill in the parliament, there wouldn't have been so long and unfruitful results. There wouldn't be bills pending for decades.

We are not educated enough to decide what's good for us. Years of discussion on FDI, Jan lokpal bill, Telangana issue, etc has worsen our economy in the recent years. Its a total failure of the democratic system not the government or the elected party members. It will remain the same even if next party comes to power. This has to change.
