Democracy is Hampering India's Progress

Yes, because India's people don't have enough maturity to how to select proper leader, 80% population don't know about their assembly or local leader, they are only compelled to vote, just simple thing or example is after 1 or 2 years preparation of IAS person is prepare fellow toilets in village and, illiterate minister drove trillion rupee ministry, how can we say that we are on right path, every minister or government only fooled people of India for only 1 simple seat, not 100% but 1000% government is not running on their homemade CONSTITUTION itself.

The only hype created by every party, we can show only 2 things in barking of electoral parties, "what the previous party has done and what we did", India is the best country in the world but we don't have best leaders in the world like Swami Vivekananda,

No system of government is good or bad, be it democracy or monarchy. A country under a good ruler can prosper greatly, but in the hands of a tyrant it can be doomed to pain, injustice and exploitation. Same goes for democracy. What makes democracy so much dangerous is that if you overthrow a bad leader of the power the new elected candidate that we elect turns out to be of the same kind as previous manipulative and self serving. Democracy gives a huge amount of power to the person in the rule which he uses against us and we cannot hold them accountable for it.

A leader before being elected is servant of the public and after election public is his slave. The public is not at fault because.

1) Educated people think in the elections, faces change while everything else remains same.

2) Poor section is striving to earn food.

3) Rich sector well. The rich gets richer holds true irrespective of government.

Education is a joke in the India majority of the population is illiterate any many of the illiterate are unemployed. Government schools have nothing and many cannot afford private education. And we say India is developing. We talk of metro, GAGAN, AGNI-V etc. What a shame!

Policies are made on paper and stay on paper. They never reach to the public in need. Farmers die and we say we will make your earning double by 2020 but sorry right now we can't help you.

The list is very long. The bottom line is that yes, democracy is a hindrance, but monarchy in the wrong hands can be a tale of gore and devastation. It's the choice between bad and less bad.

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.

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.

Yes, according to my view democracy is hampering the progress of the country. Government as well all citizen are responsible for the development of their country. In the case of India, every citizen who is 18 years old has a right to vote. There is vast strength of illiterate people who cast their vote for religious, cast influence and used to go in a wrong decision by either their own will or by regional political threat. The government is unable to get them full welfare as mediator are everywhere to grab the money. Finally until unless we choose the right government we want to be able to contribute to the development of India.

No, of course not.

The problem is that educated people in our society are not interested in such politics.

They just after education go to USA, France, etc

No, this is not true. Democracy gives us the right to select our administrator but what are we doing we choose those people who are not capable for this post. This is our mistake we can't say democracy is hampering India's progress. Democracy is that in which we can fight for our rights but we want to change our nation but we can't do anything for it and blame the policy of democracy.

No, democracy is not hampering India's process I want to say it's the reason of nowadays India development because in the parliament elected people from the different area to represent their problems so that it might be acting on it.

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 in some way is good but when it is not properly understood by people of India then it is very dangerous. Uneducated people, politician strategies, corruption has destroyed the importance of democracy. Conflict of interest of different People coming from different culture and perception are unable to elect the right candidate. And due to all these factor we are never getting political stability in our country. Elected party always have different ideology than the previous party without concerning what is good for citizens.
