Democracy is one such thing which is bringing corruption in India. It's true that democracy is hampering India's progress. People are unable to cast their votes properly. Money and muscle power has become the main motive of almost all the political parties who are supporting criminals to win elections.

These types of corruptions are bringing in poverty and is promoting injustice. Such types of practices can't be called democracy, it is almost equal to monarchy. That's all I want to say for the motion.

The democracy of India is practically not following the Indian constitution, and that is the root of all problems. Indian democracy is constitutional in form but unconstitutional in sense, and there lies all problems. This situation may only be changed if the original British laws enacted by British people are amended so as to turn the ruler and judiciary truly accountable to the people of India.

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.

Democracy is not hampering the progress of India. As we know that most of politician give milestone achievement for the India on these basis of few corrupt people, people should not generalize the way of thought. Improvement always consider any system after that flow of process have been changed.

I should go without saying, most of the guys are really handicapped for the mind. First we will have to understand, one day all people have to be accountable before their god. The one who has done good deeds, will be rewarded & bad deeds will be punished. If this kind of simple truth will not be plant into heart.

So you can do 'eat, drink & be merry'. One day you will return to your god. So every one is responsible for own role how to play the role in this world.

India is not a true democratic country because here are reserved seats for SC, OBC and ST why they are getting special treatment. They were exploited in past but not now.

No its wrong to say that democracy is hampering the progress of Indian but the way people respond towards democracy is hampering the progress of India. Like people choose the leaders related to their caste, or by having some own their benefits. So mentality of such selfish like feeling is actually hampering the progress of India.

Democracy is not harming country but most of the people in country are self centric. Nation come 2nd after their own interests. Roll of democracy is to give you basic needs and you have to progress your self. But some how we can't do this in past because of our self centric mindset. But when the nation came first in our mindset there is no any batter system then democracy.

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.
