Democracy is Hampering India's Progress

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.

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.

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.

Well, I think somehow democracy is ruining our system. I am not saying that it's totally wrong but nowadays the people who are connected with a party use party's name to do illegal things. Whether it is in the field of education or in the field of illegal works. And day by day these things are increasing. So as a democratic country, the government should take care of these things 1st. Then only we can support democracy.

Hello everyone,

In my point of view, democracy is right to choose the right person for the society to dovelopment but if some time we face any kind ok problem in which we blame democracy is just because of illatrcy because we the poeple of India don't want to choose the right person of ourself because we always run before cast religionmany time I have seen that we know that person is wrong he will not do any kind of devolopment but we sitlli ssupport just because the person is of my cast my religion we know that the person is criminal he will just want to get the power to do anything we still suppport him so I don't thing that the way is wrong we are wrong we should be aware for our politician nd should choose the right one because we are seeing that the gvt officers are being currupt for thier own benefit. And the family member or the people who are connected to this kind of politician are more powerful than politician just because of them so we should choose the right person.

Happy to share my opinion with you friends.

Only when democracy is completely changed that is rules of democracy has to be changed to presidential rule like in most developed countries. Since in India due to lack of strict rules we indians are becoming lazy actually. For example wearing a helmet is absolutely a useful rule but most of them are not following it. We can find many examples where due to lack of strict rules in India it is still developing. Of course as a human being we are free to express freedom of thought right to live etc. But implementing strict rules like every one must go karate training at childhood level etc where it is in china.

Atlast I want to say one thing. Even if strict rules hurts someone it is useful and must be followed by every citizen then only India will absolutely become an ideal. Instead of creating awareness etc the government should strongly make sure that most of the people are following it. This can be achieved only if our democracy principles are changed and strict rules has to be implemented. Thank you all.

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 that it's democracy who is hampering the future of India but it's the Indian system who is the root cause of such problems.

Hi friends.

Looking overall situation one can say yes up to the certain extent it is hampering and already have given the birth to the monsters like corruption, politics.

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.
