Hello, everyone.
I think democracy is those part of government by which we know the rule and regulation of our country. First of all I want to explain what is democracy there are many definition of democracy that is one of them earlier we study in class 9 and 10. The Ex-president of america is said that of the people, for the people, and by the people. Now I m going to tell something about that topic yes democracy is hampering the progress of India because in India there are many politicians and due to them we are so back I m not blaming them I just telling truth. When our pm or cm give any facility to citizen but mediator where ate money that's why our country is also still poor. Because in our country there are many poor people. The money and any facility is given by government is not reached to the people. In the time of election politicians come door to door. I the time of election and they promise I will do many things for you. But unfortunately it will be not happens with us. So far.

According to me, yes. Democracy is hampering india's progress as many people remain uneducated and often choose leaders who offer them some liquor, money etc. Which is harmful for the country's development. The corrupt and uneducated political leaders choose criminals to threaten the people and get votes.
This is a main cause why our country is never able to develop itself. It is because of these type of political leaders our country is counted amongst some of the poorer countries. The illiterate just don't know which leaders are right for the country which hampers our country's progress.

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.

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.

1. Democracy means, we the people, for the people, by the people.
2. But today constitutional laws has become sluggish and may be misinterpreted.
Few roadblocks to substantiate it:
- Long+tiring law making processes.
- Constantly changing government.
- Distributed powers may lead to corruption and scams.
- Freedom of speech + expression misused: to divide the country on caste, creed, region, language basis.
3. We are tagged as developing country facing problems like unemployment, illiteracy, poverty, crimes, riots, naxalism, terrorism etc.
4. We must not forget: No system is full proof. Democracy is a beautiful system but we need to:
- Check/mend constitutional law book.
- Prevail awareness + education to every thick-thin region of the country.
- Make use of technology for more transparency either it is election, or policy implementation.
- At individual level we should apply simple formula to life like:
* Each 1 teach 1.
* No to corruption.
* Know your right as well as your duty.

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.

Hello everyone,
In my opinion, Democracy is one of the thing that hampering the progress of India. Democracy is a gifted choice for the people of the India because they are having chance to choose who they want to rule them. I always blame the people of India as they fail to choose the correct person as their political leader.
Moreover the leaders also fail to feel their responsibility about which position they are and how much they need to do for the people. In my view, the leader must work for the people selflessly and they periodically review what they did, and what they will going to do for the people.
Further the plans and policies which the government made never meet the low-level people. It will be better that those policies should mainly focussed on welfare of very low-level people. Because nowadays "RICH BECOME RICHER & POOR BECOME POORER".
Finally I conclude that A GOOD DEMOCRACY IS IN OUR HANDS. So we choose a correct leader and make our INDIA a Developed Democratic country.

For the democracy so many nations fought against the dictatorship, monopoly and army rule. This rules and regulation brought unhappy for the members of nation. So the India have got all the democratic feature but we the people have to obey it and not to misuse.

Democracy is hampering the growth of India. Democracy leads to vote-bank politics and vendetta politics. Sometimes the ruling party decisions which aide to growth get delayed or never get implemented.
For example, Goods and Service-tax bill and Land bill, if implemented can boost our GDP, but their implementation is delayed because the opposition is creating a parliament log-jam.

In my opinion definitely the uneducated should be deprived from voting. The reason that he doesn't thing above square meal. In the same way the elected government should put in free education for at least for a period of 15 years spending more than 10% of GDP on education. If this continues the next generation will be matured enough to cast the vote and elect the right government. Otherwise people will cast vote for few hundred rupees or any gifts.
