Democracy is Hampering India's Progress

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.

Hello everyone,

In my point of view, democracy is right to choose the right person for the society to dovelopment but if some time we face any kind ok problem in which we blame democracy is just because of illatrcy because we the poeple of India don't want to choose the right person of ourself because we always run before cast religionmany time I have seen that we know that person is wrong he will not do any kind of devolopment but we sitlli ssupport just because the person is of my cast my religion we know that the person is criminal he will just want to get the power to do anything we still suppport him so I don't thing that the way is wrong we are wrong we should be aware for our politician nd should choose the right one because we are seeing that the gvt officers are being currupt for thier own benefit. And the family member or the people who are connected to this kind of politician are more powerful than politician just because of them so we should choose the right person.

I think democracy is not hampering the India but its because the way we use our democracy. We should feel proud as India is a democratic nation. And it gives us various right to use it.

We only continue to blame our government system but we could not able to see the other side of the coin. All illegal matters bribe offered by corrupted people. And we are the only one and it's our sole responsibility to stop all these things.

Indian constitution gives us right to vote to choose the right people as an administrator. So we should respect our constitution.

Various policies offered by the government which helps the every citizen of India. But its need to be updating as per the current situation. Its should not take a week to solve the case where it gets solve in 5/6 days.

* GDP growth of India is the highest growth rate in the world.

* India stands on second as largest economy.

So we need to restructure the definition of democracy to use it wisely and not for hampering.

We cannot say that democracy is hampering India's progress. Because the democratic government has given people lot of freedom to express their views and even to question the government. In that view, through democracy each and every citizen is involved in the administration either directly or indirectly. So people get more concerned about the governmental happenings and development of the country. This is possible only through the democratic form of government.

But at the same time, democracy hesitates imposing serious laws and rules on people which have given them much more freedom. The people use the freedom in wrong way and they even cheat the government. So as the famous saying goes by, "Too much of anything is good for nothing", the democratic form of government should not give more freedom to people which in turn will ruin both the people and country. Hence democracy should be maintained with some strict laws and rules.

Hello friends!

Democracy is one of the various forms of government. There has always been a question mark on democracy as a suitable way of governance. In my opinion today's age is an age of transformation. We have come out of old mindsets of imperialism, colonialism and racism. Today the world belongs to everyone irrespective of his linguistic, communal, sexual or cultural orientation or choice.

In such a condition, Democracy is the most suitable form of government as it takes into account every one's need and aspirations. We have also seen that democratic nations are more content and stable. The examples of Nepal or Afghanistan who have shown exceptional decrease in insurgency after switching to democracy also proves this point. Democracy if percolated to roots like India is doing in Panchayati Raj can also help the masses and involve the general public in formation and execution of welfare schemes.

Democracy? What is democracy? Is democracy hampering India's progress? Well so many questions with just a simple answer.

Had democracy being hampering a country's progress I don't think other democratic countries will be developed eg. USA. It is not democracy but the delay in the system, the lack of morale, the greed for corruption, the lack of education and awareness of one's right, the whole process of election are some of the many factors that have hamper the growth of India.

It is not that we are not developing instead we are among the top developing countries of the world but we are slow in our progress. We are no less than other countries but we sold our morale to corruption, bribe and social evils. It is not the government to be blamed completely but every individual is to be blamed.

Its not democracy or the government but India as a whole is responsible for its slow development.

Hi. This is Dhananjay. Today, I am going to speak about democracy.

As the question is whether democracy hampering our nation s progress or not. I would say No.

India is a country where duff religion people are staying together. They all have a different view towards the world. It's really a great achievement for India as compared to others.

But It's true. In a voting system, there are no. Of persons are there who don't have to potential to choose a leader may b there illiterate. That may lead to corruption.

But. Still, democracy system gives us a chance to correction. If the elected leader Is not that much effective. , then after five years, we can eradicate him by voting.

Last but not the least, democratic leaders power is within our constitution. So. As we have both the best democratic system and Indian constitution, No doubt. Our country will progress.

Thank you.

I agree that democracy is hampering the progress of the nation as if we see the whole election system which is the most fundamental part of a democratic system is full of corrupt and misleading practices.

As a majority of educated people does not cast their vote and the major chunk of voters are uneducated and cast their vote on the basis of religion, cast, creed, language etc. A capable Government does come up. The whole reservation system, which was started taking the vision to decrease it in the future has on the contrary increased to many folds.

Secondly due to a democratic government rules and regulations made are not strong for e.g. In China in the late 1970's they introduced 1 child policy to control their increasing population this step is helping them now. These hard policies can't be introduced in India because the next day the government Will fall.

I would like to highlight some of the points here-.

1. Democracy is a form of govt in which mass of India participates and elect their leaders. So I don't find anything wrong in it.

2. The cause which are hampering India's development are the people who are running the government after being elected. So it becomes a individual matter of politician that how he/she is leading government It has nothing to do with democracy.

3. Yes! I do agree that democracy has a lot of steps performing it. These steps are for the betterment and is of getting assured that not a single decision go wrong. This is not meant for hampering country's development.

4. Corruption, inflation, mismanagement, growing differences between rich and poor are the main which are hampering country's development. It is these things which are to be corrected not the democracy itself!

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.
