I don't agree that democracy is hampering the progress of the country. If we talk about the USA, there is also same and is a super power in the world but? Is that why not India foremost reason behind it is ourself because in our country most of people have no sense of choosing their representative they don't examine govt's previous performance and achievements they cast vote on caste, religion, party system basis and get influenced by some schemes of providing thinks free of cost all these things diverted govt attention from real issues, infrastructure, fundamental reforms in education, industry, health and other social reforms and govt concentrate on polices, programmes and schemes that can attract people and ensure victory because they easily know that most of the people in our country don't know what's actually govt did in various sector. Apart from it a lot of people are strongly attached to political parties they ignore the image, education, and capabilities of the particular candidate. All these things are responsible for country'progress.

In my opinion, democracy is not hampering the progress of India but it is we, the people of India, who are responsible for degrading the value of democracy in India. Democracy has enabled us to choose what is right & root out what is wrong but only when we use this supreme power in a right & honest manner.
But in actual, we, the people of India are indulged in overlooking the long term or broad viewed benefits by favouring the political person/party in elections, who serves our own purpose either directly or indirectly. Thus we misuse our right.
Secondly, there are so many people in India, who really don't know & understand the meaning of democracy, they play a wide role in the electing a wrong politician. So, our educational system needs to be strengthened so that at least everyone in our society is aware about right & wrong.
Apart from that, even after each & everyone being aware of it, what is needed most is OUR HONEST ATTITUDE towards our country & it's people. Then only we can imagine a developed India in future.

Democracy Is over rated I have to say. Monarchies Have restrictions more control. This Setup has helped several Arabic nations in strengthening their society and economy, they are filthy rich :p. Any form of government with basic understanding of People's rights is a good form of government. In India, democracy has resulted in MPs and ministers growing rich and more corrupt. Our textbooks may say that democracy results in more sensible, accountable decisions, in India, We are so sensible and intelligent that we take years to muster up good policies and infrastructure. Above all our justice system has several loop holes in it because of The extensive rights every citizen gets in the justice system. Here ppl are being raped every day and Only half of thE A HOLES are convicted while in Several monarchies Across the world they are beaten to death. Long story short, democracy isn't heaven. Democracies are based on the rulers and the view of the citizens. For us, our time's too damn bad and So democracy is hampering our progress.

Democracy is a system, which has nothing to do with economic progress, because economic progress is another system. Of course, politics and economy go hand in hand. If you say politician who make the democracy and did not follow the principles then regression is the ultimate end-product.
The reality is something different, which is not visible to anybody. People think that democracy implies government of the people, for the people and by the people. So thinks that it implies government of the politician, for the politician and by the politician. But both the categories of people are wrong. Really it is of the business magnets, for the business magnets and by the business magnets.
Who works like the director of film. We always see the hero, heroine and villain of a picture but we do not the real master the director. Similarly, the business magnets are the directors of democracy and politician whatever, may be the post, are the worker to them. Thus, democracy fails to bring the progress as you wants.

India is a rich country, but people think low. Democracy is we need, but not like this type. People were there before in agricultural sector only, but nowadays people likes to work in all the sector with the time frame. This needs this time, in journey, any work. After 60 years of independent also in democracy, we can't get jobs to people in India, food, shelter why because of age old politicians. Their money minded killing the patience. Why we can't get some revolutions.
Like,
1. Like in other countries can't we restrict politicians age to contest in the election.
2. Big national parties have to trust young ag e (not the same family) people.
3. Stop giving money to voting in rural or in slums.
4. Educate the democracy.
5. Expose bribing to media, educate the people not to give bribe.
We need politicians as, need to hear the problems facing, need to do good infrastructure to commute, need digital facility of one touch facility.
For that restrict the age of the politicians contesting election.

1. Democracy means, we the people, for the people, by the people.
2. But today constitutional laws has become sluggish and may be misinterpreted.
Few roadblocks to substantiate it:
- Long+tiring law making processes.
- Constantly changing government.
- Distributed powers may lead to corruption and scams.
- Freedom of speech + expression misused: to divide the country on caste, creed, region, language basis.
3. We are tagged as developing country facing problems like unemployment, illiteracy, poverty, crimes, riots, naxalism, terrorism etc.
4. We must not forget: No system is full proof. Democracy is a beautiful system but we need to:
- Check/mend constitutional law book.
- Prevail awareness + education to every thick-thin region of the country.
- Make use of technology for more transparency either it is election, or policy implementation.
- At individual level we should apply simple formula to life like:
* Each 1 teach 1.
* No to corruption.
* Know your right as well as your duty.

Hello everyone,
In my opinion, Democracy is one of the thing that hampering the progress of India. Democracy is a gifted choice for the people of the India because they are having chance to choose who they want to rule them. I always blame the people of India as they fail to choose the correct person as their political leader.
Moreover the leaders also fail to feel their responsibility about which position they are and how much they need to do for the people. In my view, the leader must work for the people selflessly and they periodically review what they did, and what they will going to do for the people.
Further the plans and policies which the government made never meet the low-level people. It will be better that those policies should mainly focussed on welfare of very low-level people. Because nowadays "RICH BECOME RICHER & POOR BECOME POORER".
Finally I conclude that A GOOD DEMOCRACY IS IN OUR HANDS. So we choose a correct leader and make our INDIA a Developed Democratic country.

Democracy can never hamper any country's development. Democracy gives freedom to people to choose representatives who work for their development, if they don't then people will definitely dispose them for sure. But democracy demands sincerity and right vision.
If democracy is hampering India's growth then we would not have SAIL, BHEL, IOCL, DELHI METRO various private sector etc, all this happened because of democracy and this development is not confined to specific area, development has happened in every corner of this country. We are atomic power, space technology powerhouse and we run the cheapest railway in the world. People from corner of this country contributing to its economy. All this happened because we still have people who vote for the development of this country.
Who can forget the landslide victory of Janta party in 1977 which reminded the strongest PM in our country Indira Gandhi that we people own the real power and it should be run according the people and for the people.

Hello, everyone.
I think democracy is those part of government by which we know the rule and regulation of our country. First of all I want to explain what is democracy there are many definition of democracy that is one of them earlier we study in class 9 and 10. The Ex-president of america is said that of the people, for the people, and by the people. Now I m going to tell something about that topic yes democracy is hampering the progress of India because in India there are many politicians and due to them we are so back I m not blaming them I just telling truth. When our pm or cm give any facility to citizen but mediator where ate money that's why our country is also still poor. Because in our country there are many poor people. The money and any facility is given by government is not reached to the people. In the time of election politicians come door to door. I the time of election and they promise I will do many things for you. But unfortunately it will be not happens with us. So far.
