Democracy is not hampering the growth of India, its the people who are monitoring the democratic country, elected by people by using corruption as a weapon. They are not realizing their duty towards work, take fake oath to help people. Also misuse the power of money for purchasing of votes by distributing money and alcohol. A true leader is that who perform his duty sincerely.

Finally democracy is not hampering the growth of nation, we have to change the system acquires to run democratic nation.

Hello friends.

According to me, democracy is not hampering the progress of India. Because it is 21st century and all peoples in India having a freedom to take part any social issues like voting, education, business etc. So the important benefit of democracy is that every person can choose leader for elect. Nowadays, there ratio of literal peoples is also growing. So, its good thing for all of us that India is on way off developing. In future it will happen surely.

Hello friends!

Democracy is one of the various forms of government. There has always been a question mark on democracy as a suitable way of governance. In my opinion today's age is an age of transformation. We have come out of old mindsets of imperialism, colonialism and racism. Today the world belongs to everyone irrespective of his linguistic, communal, sexual or cultural orientation or choice.

In such a condition, Democracy is the most suitable form of government as it takes into account every one's need and aspirations. We have also seen that democratic nations are more content and stable. The examples of Nepal or Afghanistan who have shown exceptional decrease in insurgency after switching to democracy also proves this point. Democracy if percolated to roots like India is doing in Panchayati Raj can also help the masses and involve the general public in formation and execution of welfare schemes.

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 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 !

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.

I think that India is getting very costly now just I heard that onions rate are increased answer toordal and uraddal is rs-140/- a kilo! think about that people who are starving of a little food and now babas and matas are the main problem for India. The government should take action.

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.

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.
