I think democracy is good but its used in India is very bad, because all people of India don't understand the power of democracy. In India most of people don't understand the use of single vote. All people are want to do only for self, They don't think about society, they don't want to do something about country.

The main reason is that most of the people in rural area are uneducated and these are waste his vote only for some money, and due to that people, at the current time all politician are corrupted and ready for scams.

Hence according to me democracy is not hampering, We are responsible for hamper the development of our country.

Thank You.

Dear All,

I am a citizen of India, I should love my country & Democracy system. But one of the Major, Fault in our Democracy, except India other country people are getting job or duties only for merit basis but in India, people are getting job, cast bases, so funny, A 78% obtained marks holder can't get job, but 38% marks holder got the job easily because He/She belongs SC Caste.

Now 70 Years Independent Day have finished still they are backward. So should be changed. Otherwise, our country will not be developed. Like the USA, UAE, Canada, UK, People are getting the job, Merit basis, so these type of country develop.

The long and tiring, Law making processes make it difficult for any beneficial law to come up early. It has to be passed from both the Houses of the Parliament and then needs to be cleared by the President. Such a long procedure takes a lot of time as there is a lot of discrepancy in the Parliament. For e.g. 33 % reservation of women in parliament could not be approved for so long.

The constantly changing government due to regular elections makes it very difficult for every government to leave a worthy impact on the people. Many of the projects are in the development phase when the government is removed by elections. Hence it makes the development process quite sluggish and unstable.

In democracy, a large number of persons or ministers need to be consulted. Majority has to be acquired or common consent has to be worked out before approval of any bill, which at times leads to delay or rejection of the proposal. For example- negotiations over 100% FDI in retail has never reached the common consent in the parliamentary, thus it has been emasculated.

Democracy has distributed power under various hierarchies, which in turn instigates corruption and scams, be it Commonwealth Scam, Coal scam, Adarsh colony scam or 2G scam.

Corruption and non- judicious use of available funds by the concerned authority leads to poor quality of health & education infrastructure. For example large proportion of allotted funds in budget every year for education, nutrition, health facilities, mid-day meal scheme, gramin sadak yojna and other welfare schemes is absorbed by the middle men, authorities in power and this leads to sub-standard development.

Democracy has provided freedom of speech & expression to every citizen of the country which is often misused by some groups of people to divide the country into regional blocks on the grounds of caste, religion, culture, language or creed.

Democracy has provided certain privileges to certain sections of the society which are often seen as a highly critical. For example reservation for dalits, SC, OBC ST etc.

Democracy has also sown the seeds of economic inequality in our society. Richer are getting more richer and poorer are getting more poorer.

Democracy doesn't allow you to correct your decision. For example- The ruling party in power or the elected ministers by the Indian people cannot be removed till their term ends. And as per the present scenario the elected ministers are turning out to be a great mess as they are consuming and accumulating national treasure in their name to fulfill their personal desires and are thus hampering the development of the nation.

Democracy is actually not hampering the Indian progress. It's some of the corrupt people of our country who are ruling the country for the sake of their luxurious life and not worthy fame. Half of the country people are corrupted and this process leads ahead till now with no full stop in between. Democracy is the best thing which India have it as a wealth. It should not be blamed for hampering the Indian process rather the corrupt one should give the punishment of black water.

India is a rich country, but people think low. Democracy is we need, but not like this type. People were there before in agricultural sector only, but nowadays people likes to work in all the sector with the time frame. This needs this time, in journey, any work. After 60 years of independent also in democracy, we can't get jobs to people in India, food, shelter why because of age old politicians. Their money minded killing the patience. Why we can't get some revolutions.

Like,

1. Like in other countries can't we restrict politicians age to contest in the election.

2. Big national parties have to trust young ag e (not the same family) people.

3. Stop giving money to voting in rural or in slums.

4. Educate the democracy.

5. Expose bribing to media, educate the people not to give bribe.

We need politicians as, need to hear the problems facing, need to do good infrastructure to commute, need digital facility of one touch facility.

For that restrict the age of the politicians contesting election.

The democracy is not the best way to rule a country or neither its the bad system. But in case of great nation like India and because of its large area democracy is the best way because it will creat a chain of command to the whole country. Because if there is one leadership the unity of India should come in danger.

I think democracy is the best way to prosper India.

Hi, friends. In my view, democracy is not hampering India's progress it is cause of system problem. So actually we have to need some changes in our system. Everything have some plus point then also have negative point s so we can't blame democracy only for hampering India's progress it is the cause of illiteracy, corruption, etc.

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.

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.

Hello friends.

According to me democracy is not hampering our progress. For democracy become our PM & a lead became president of our nation. We are not getting 100 % success, not for the democracy but for the education, more than 50% people are illiterate but in case of western countries, maximum people are literate, so they are developed. Now a days literacy ratio is increasing, we must get a good system and success in near future.
