Hello everybody,

Do you think that a human can lead the life of another human in right-way while all are originated from a first man who had given birth only after he had sinned. So voting for a human to rule over other human may not be permanent and satisfied ever.

So It needs that the leaders are to be changed frequently whenever they want. So why don't we live up to the values of human life which are constituted by dedication and obedience to the creator's laws.

I think that why don't dictatorship and democracy be combined. The army and government should think the best ideas for this combination. I just got the idea but don't know how it can be possible. See the condition of India, I don't like to say but it is like a piece of thrash where all citizens are selfish. There is no meaning of unity instead army should burn out all the evils and use some Hitler tactics.

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.

We are making democracy to hamper the progress of India. First of all voters should know the value of their vote by not taking money, liquor etc, and those who are elected as representatives should feel the responsibility on their shoulders.

Politicians are targeting uneducated people who can be easily attracted to money. To avoid this situation literacy percentage has to improve, only education give you the knowledge to vote for right candidate and poling percentage has to be above 95% which gives best candidate election as our representative.

Every coin has its two faces, democracy also has its two faces that misuse of everything results bad. Most of the politicians are corrupt, the police had shaken their hands with them. That is the reason that why democracy indirectly hampers the progress of our nation.

Government is not only responsible for pitiable condition of India, but also the citizens of the nation as because for their self they encourage corruption, elect wrong representative etc. The democracy on one face. Became like dictatorship, India will progress very much if all the citizens and politicians realize what is happening to country and "rebuilt what they destroy".

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.

So the solution is to provide education, spreading awareness among people regarding voting. So that they will get to know the value of their vote. And the value of vote we can best learn from the corrupted leaders, that how they know the value of each vote.

Most of the upper caste people definitely against the reservations in India, Upper caste people have enough lands and property then again they want jobs also, where as most of the poor people are from backward or lower caste people only, before commenting please remember the history and post.

I am not against democracy but there should be lot of updation in reservation, judicial. Etc, politicians are not corrupted, society made them more corruption. In India dictatorship is not possible. Finally my opinion is there should be changes in democracy which has written in 1951.

Mainly democracy is the form of government where the people of the country has the main power but in a country like India this power is hampered by the incapable rulers. Still free and fair elections are a dream of us. Overall I would say that when hazards like violence, corruptions could be over rooted from the recent definition of democracy then only a country could be called an actual democratic one.

Hi everyone,

As I think, democracy is not responsible for imbalance of our economy and growth. Democracy implies government of the people, for the people, by the people. In broad way it means freedom to everyone[females, backward tribe peoples (BTP)]. We can see in past (after 1990's) we rather find a successive female and BTP. There is no education for them.

From when we adopted democracy there is no such rule that a farmer child should be a farmer. We can see many successive woman and BTP.

As I know that many persons thinks that democracy is responsible for corruption and many problems. These problems doesn't relate to democracy. As I think democracy is the solution for these problems. In early 2009 we got right to information through democratic way.

May I also remind you in past two decade Election Commission is trying transparent ability of political candidate and EC also succeeded in its efforts. EC made three rules for a political candidate through the supreme court are written below.

1. Not all criminal cases will lead to the bar. Only heinous offences like murder, rape, dacoity, kidnapping or moral turpitude.

2. The case should have been registered at least six months before the elections.

3. The court should have framed the charges.

I know there are pitfalls in these rules but EC is trying get rid off these pitfalls so the elections should be more transparent.

For corruption we should make our law strong. In our law system there are many pitfalls and corrupt people misusing these pitfalls to misguide the justice. So we should change our law, not wholly but we can remove those pitfalls which are bread n butter for corrupt politicians and criminals.

As we know that we are second largest country in the population and how many court we have to punish criminals and to get justice in time. Think as per our population nothing and judge also get too many holidays (192 holidays in a year).

In the last as I can say democracy is the prime factor for progress of India and rather to blame democracy, we should have get some rule by democratic way to solve these problems.

1. Right to reject (rather than NOTA).

2. Right to recall.

3. Government should make many courts so we can get justice at the time.

4. We should remove the pitfalls which exist in the law.
