Democracy is Hampering India's Progress

According to my point of view, democracy is not hampering the progress of India. It would be so then america should have been a undeveloped country b/c democracy is also there. It means there is some fault is our system.

I would like to point out some of them,

1- Too many political parties are there which just support to government in the centre for their personal benefit like protecting them from CBI.

2- A lots of people are uneducated and they are unaware of their right so these innocent people are made fool my our politician.

3- We have lack of sense of nationalism for Eg: many times political party amend the bill or introduce a new bill just for their own benefit irrespective of thinking about countries interest.

4- Corruption has become very big issue b/c we are just looking a law against corruption which will do magic and we will be corruption free country. This is not like that we our self have to take initiative against corruption then it will remove by its own.

There are many more point but here I want to say that it is not way of governance which decides growth and prosperity of country but it ts thinking of people which decides our growth especially in democracy where governance is for the people, by the people and of the people.

Democracy is one such thing which is bringing corruption in India. It's true that democracy is hampering India's progress. People are unable to cast their votes properly. Money and muscle power has become the main motive of almost all the political parties who are supporting criminals to win elections.

These types of corruptions are bringing in poverty and is promoting injustice. Such types of practices can't be called democracy, it is almost equal to monarchy. That's all I want to say for the motion.

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 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.

Perhaps, I do not think that democracy is hampering the progress of our country because in Democratic government every person has right to express his or her views every common man has same power which doesn't happen in Monarchy system. So democracy should be remain but there is a need to change some of the rules which create problems.

India is the fastest developing nation growing at around 7-7.5%.

China has thus far been the fastest developing nation growing at a rate greater than 10% since 1990s.

GST Bill, which is a landmark bill, has stayed in the Rajya Sabha for two complete sessions as Congress, which is the majority in Rajya Sabha, is not willing to discuss the bill in the upper house.

Lack of Education in rural India has led to the election of inefficient politicians to the government which has hampered India's progress.

Growth in China due to Communism has not been very sustainable as they have started to slow down recently.

Hi everyone,

As I think, democracy is not responsible for imbalance of our economy and growth. Democracy implies government of the people, for the people, by the people. In broad way it means freedom to everyone[females, backward tribe peoples (BTP)]. We can see in past (after 1990's) we rather find a successive female and BTP. There is no education for them.

From when we adopted democracy there is no such rule that a farmer child should be a farmer. We can see many successive woman and BTP.

As I know that many persons thinks that democracy is responsible for corruption and many problems. These problems doesn't relate to democracy. As I think democracy is the solution for these problems. In early 2009 we got right to information through democratic way.

May I also remind you in past two decade Election Commission is trying transparent ability of political candidate and EC also succeeded in its efforts. EC made three rules for a political candidate through the supreme court are written below.

1. Not all criminal cases will lead to the bar. Only heinous offences like murder, rape, dacoity, kidnapping or moral turpitude.

2. The case should have been registered at least six months before the elections.

3. The court should have framed the charges.

I know there are pitfalls in these rules but EC is trying get rid off these pitfalls so the elections should be more transparent.

For corruption we should make our law strong. In our law system there are many pitfalls and corrupt people misusing these pitfalls to misguide the justice. So we should change our law, not wholly but we can remove those pitfalls which are bread n butter for corrupt politicians and criminals.

As we know that we are second largest country in the population and how many court we have to punish criminals and to get justice in time. Think as per our population nothing and judge also get too many holidays (192 holidays in a year).

In the last as I can say democracy is the prime factor for progress of India and rather to blame democracy, we should have get some rule by democratic way to solve these problems.

1. Right to reject (rather than NOTA).

2. Right to recall.

3. Government should make many courts so we can get justice at the time.

4. We should remove the pitfalls which exist in the law.

Hello friends.

According to me, democracy is not hampering the progress of India. Because it is 21st century and all peoples in India having a freedom to take part any social issues like voting, education, business etc. So the important benefit of democracy is that every person can choose leader for elect. Nowadays, there ratio of literal peoples is also growing. So, its good thing for all of us that India is on way off developing. In future it will happen surely.

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.

Truly saying democracy is hampering India's progress. There are various reasons that prove it. We don't have any government party that can truly assure us the development because there is a rush for grabbing the power and loot the country as much as possible. There are leaders who support criminals just to win more seats and be into power. Speaking from the heart they are just exploiting our country just like the Britishers did in the last century.

Also if somebody wants to work for betterment there are people who question there governance and hinder their working process so we need a form of honest governance where the government is given much power where they can work freely without much disruption.
