Democracy is Hampering India's Progress

I think democracy is not the problem for our country at all. In my opinion the problem is the process of election system where each and every people has the right to vote. You may think that it is not a problem. But the fact is the country like India where most of the voters are not properly educated and are corrupted in their activities, there should be some eligibility criteria for having right to vote. Because those corrupted and illiterate people will naturally vote to the politician of their own nature. So what is happening is that wrong candidates are being continuously elected by the majority of those corrupted and illiterate people.

I think Democracy in India has become a big Question mark in everyone's mind. Is it democracy is all about participating in elections once in every 5 years and then expecting government (or that x number of politicians) to run the show?

India's development not failing due to democracy, India's democracy as a whole failing due to corrupted people at every level of society. May be some economic numbers on the charts do show that India as a developing country since 50 years but I can't imagine any era where it can change its status from developing to developed without changing individual's attitude towards the society.

Until we teach our kids about treating every other person as a human being, until we learn ourselves to be example for the next generations, until we hold the urge to give bribe to speed up things in government offices, until we as a society (every Individual) learns to restore the lost morals in corruption; we will be keep reading those sudden company shutdowns, we will be keep reading news about deaths of people, we will be keep reading news about child abuse and hell lot.

A country development doesn't mean rupee Vs dollar, democratic country's development truly relies in its people ability to breath without fear, people in the country need not to rob the other for their survival, until this society as a whole learns to treat each individual with respect by killing all that cast system.

Ya democracy is definitely hampering the india's progress. Because in our country so many politicians are uneducated and they are involve in corruption. So they are don't know to think that which is better for peoples. And so many voters are uneducated. Due to this, these politicians were easily selected by voters in election. We can't avoid until the educated politicians elected by peoples.

Not exactly but in certain way this hampering the progress. People choose their leaders in this country on their on will whether they are eligible or not and this is the problem in progress. Most of leaders are corrupt and ineligible they use the national treasures, incomes, resources for benefit of them only. That's how they are hampering the progress directly and indirectly democracy is hampering for some extent.

In my opinion democracy is a virus which not only hazards but also stop countries development. Just take a example an uneducated person don't know which way is better and which one is wrong then how can you expect that they will do positive work for our country. But due to democracy they are still doing their job or you can say they are like nuisance of our development which must be whitewash.

No, democracy is not hampering the progress of India. India is a democratic country and indians have right to elect the right person as their representative. Its all depends on the people to choose the right person who is not corrupt or less corrupt than any other candidate which leads our country. The democracy is necessary to leads the nation.

Happy to share my opinion with you friends.

Only when democracy is completely changed that is rules of democracy has to be changed to presidential rule like in most developed countries. Since in India due to lack of strict rules we indians are becoming lazy actually. For example wearing a helmet is absolutely a useful rule but most of them are not following it. We can find many examples where due to lack of strict rules in India it is still developing. Of course as a human being we are free to express freedom of thought right to live etc. But implementing strict rules like every one must go karate training at childhood level etc where it is in china.

Atlast I want to say one thing. Even if strict rules hurts someone it is useful and must be followed by every citizen then only India will absolutely become an ideal. Instead of creating awareness etc the government should strongly make sure that most of the people are following it. This can be achieved only if our democracy principles are changed and strict rules has to be implemented. Thank you all.

Democracy is rule by the people, for the people and of the people. India is the largest democratic country in the world.

In India, we are electing govt representatives every 5 years, and the govt formed will introduce many welfare schemes and projects like irrigation, electricity etc. ,

As we know for completion of these projects and for the effective implementation of the welfare schemes, the 5 years of ruling may not be sufficient and after 5 years again elections will come.

If suppose another party forms government then the completion of those projects which was initiated by the previous government Will may not happen faster. They try to leave their mark by introducing their own schemes and their own projects according to their party manifesto.

So, the money of people is been wasted in a big way and is indirectly hampering india's growth.

In my opinion Democracy has hampered india's developmental progress. Because the majority party holds the reign of Government Inefficient and corrupt persons get themselves elected. They don't even have vision and intelligence.

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.
