Democracy is Hampering India's Progress

India has demonstrated to the world that Democracy is absolutely at work. Some describe western-style democracy as drugs such as Opium, once you have tasted it, you can not get rid of it, similar to one way dead-end traffic.

Some describe western-style democracy as diseases, once you introduced the democracy, then the whole country is in disorder mentally. So the countries must be rich to have resources for the democracy.

Poor countries can also have democracy, but they will remain poor forever due to the democracy. UK exported the Opium to the world via war in the name of free trading. US is exporting the Opium to the world via war in the name of "Democracy".

We know people are easily addicted to it and that's why there are chaos, poverty and wars in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Thailand, Ukraine, Philippines, Afghanistan, Turkey, Egypt, India, etc.

As per my perception democracy is not at all hamper in the progress of country. We Indian are lucky to be a part of such great democratic country. As we all know democracy is only way which give us right to elect the right government in every five year that can run the country in well manner, right speak against wrongdoing by politician and also right get education.

We always blame to govt for everything instead of focusing on our responsibility towards country like not paying income tax, bill and giving bribe.

Only one thing can help country to achieve progress rapidly is education. Educate all the Indians properly so that they could aware about their duty for the country, towards democracy and select correct person to lead the nation ahead in suitable way.

So take democracy as boon for country and contribute to grow the nation further.

Hello everyone!

I'm just mentioning what I feel needs to be done.

1. First and foremost step is to impart education to all, be it literary or vocational so that employment is possible, people become able to at least meet their necessities.

2. Alleviation of poverty thus would alleviate the need to sell their votes n the spread of moral education will alleviate the greed due to which people sell their votes. As they will work for a greater greed - for their long lasting welfare.

Therefore no problems at all. All we need to do is to spread education. Both moral in literary/vocational. Rest all edu. Will do and of curse. Its not democracy which is hampering our progress, it's lack of education, it's poverty, it's greed, it's our inability to foresee inability to think of even our own benefits wisely.

Thank you !

Democracy is a system of government in which we can choose our government A/c to our choice that didn't occur in monarchy system. Democratic got selected by the people for the people and always remain with the people.

We have the example of South Africa where democracy help in the abolition of discrimination between black and white by Nelson Mandela.

How can we say that the democracy is hampering the INDIA's progress?

Actually, the main reason behind the hampering of progress is illiteracy, poverty, gender inequalities, lack of patriotic culture etc. Here we choose our govt on the basis of caste, religion and party system. Most of the seats here are reserved for the quotas like SC, ST.

So, I think we should change our mentality and perception towards our country, our govt then only our country can 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,

According to me, the government is the main reason for the Indian development. We can partially blame our constitution also because it has given many of the rights to the people. Yes, I agree that democracy is the better form of government. The representatives who are being elected by the people are cheating the people. Before the elections, they promise the people that they are going to provide everything if they are elected.

People with this hope elect that representatives. After they are being elected they show their real attitude. Some laws are implemented by the government but they are not reachable to the people because of some mediators. Democracy is better form of government but the rules and regulations must become strict. By this some change would be seen in people which leads to development.

I don't think democracy is hampering India's growth. Democracy is, in fact, necessary for sustained economic growth and progress. It provides the conducive business environment and a level playing field to the new firms. Openness and liberal business policies are what a nation need to grow and prosper, which is not what we see in Russia or 1980s China or even post-independent India. We could only imagine how difficult was it to start a new business before LPG reforms. Could India be what we see it today, without democracy? I don't think so.

Research says that at the current pace of growth, India would surpass China in a decade or so. China, no doubt has been a strong economy for so long but would it continue to be so under a tyrant leader? Only as long as it has visionary leaders like today.

Hi!

Dear All.

Our Democracy is hampering & going to much more lose very soon, Except India, you never see any other country people are getting job caste bases Like USA, UK, Canada, UAE, people are getting job or duties merit basis, they are searching only who is capable? Who is perfect? Who is active? & those types of people are getting job or duties.

But Very sad for Indian Democracy system A perfect Candidate can't get any duties because he is belonging General Caste but he has obtained marks 78% whereas an SC Caste candidate can get job easily he got only 38% So it's a shame for Indian democracy system now 70th years Indian's independent day have already crossed. But still, Indian democracy can't adjust the backward people.

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.

Hello Everybody,

Democracy is the gift awarded to all of us. When you listen from the countries where.

Dictatorship is ruling the country you will be thankful to God for our Democracy.

Any way we are lacking behind to literate the peoples about our Rights and Duties towards our Nation. We all should make up our mind and start some tasks for ourselves.

The first I would like to suggest is to Vote for Each and every Election. And also motivate One person to do this. This will make a change. Whats your opinion on this?

Because In Indian Metro Cities Voting percentage is 40% to 50% Whereas in Rural India it jumps over to 60% and above. Now you tell me who is Literate?
