Democracy is Hampering India's Progress

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.

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.

No system of government is good or bad, be it democracy or monarchy. A country under a good ruler can prosper greatly, but in the hands of a tyrant it can be doomed to pain, injustice and exploitation. Same goes for democracy. What makes democracy so much dangerous is that if you overthrow a bad leader of the power the new elected candidate that we elect turns out to be of the same kind as previous manipulative and self serving. Democracy gives a huge amount of power to the person in the rule which he uses against us and we cannot hold them accountable for it.

A leader before being elected is servant of the public and after election public is his slave. The public is not at fault because.

1) Educated people think in the elections, faces change while everything else remains same.

2) Poor section is striving to earn food.

3) Rich sector well. The rich gets richer holds true irrespective of government.

Education is a joke in the India majority of the population is illiterate any many of the illiterate are unemployed. Government schools have nothing and many cannot afford private education. And we say India is developing. We talk of metro, GAGAN, AGNI-V etc. What a shame!

Policies are made on paper and stay on paper. They never reach to the public in need. Farmers die and we say we will make your earning double by 2020 but sorry right now we can't help you.

The list is very long. The bottom line is that yes, democracy is a hindrance, but monarchy in the wrong hands can be a tale of gore and devastation. It's the choice between bad and less bad.

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.

According to me, yes. Democracy is hampering india's progress as many people remain uneducated and often choose leaders who offer them some liquor, money etc. Which is harmful for the country's development. The corrupt and uneducated political leaders choose criminals to threaten the people and get votes.

This is a main cause why our country is never able to develop itself. It is because of these type of political leaders our country is counted amongst some of the poorer countries. The illiterate just don't know which leaders are right for the country which hampers our country's progress.

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.

I don't think democracy is hampering India's growth. Democracy is, in fact, necessary for sustained economic growth and progress. It provides the conducive business environment and a level playing field to the new firms. Openness and liberal business policies are what a nation need to grow and prosper, which is not what we see in Russia or 1980s China or even post-independent India. We could only imagine how difficult was it to start a new business before LPG reforms. Could India be what we see it today, without democracy? I don't think so.

Research says that at the current pace of growth, India would surpass China in a decade or so. China, no doubt has been a strong economy for so long but would it continue to be so under a tyrant leader? Only as long as it has visionary leaders like today.

We should not blame democracy because after independence it gives us various fundamentals right. We should ask yourself that how much serious we are about rights and how many of us know about our fundamentals rights. India Is our home and we are the family members. If a home is not well decorated then. Should we leave that home No? Because if we are living then it's our responsibility to decorate it in a beautiful manner. Instead of blaming it.

Democracy is good on paper, but India was not ready for democracy when it got in 47. Had there been a visionary leader, and less corrupt people, India could have been much bet. Currency worth of billions of dollars every year flow into black money drainage and those in power become richer while poor stays poor.

Hello, everyone!

According to me, it is not democracy that should be blamed for hampering the progress of India but it is actually Indian system that should be blamed. And all the activities like :-.

- The cases which should have to take 5 days are taking 5 months and even more.

- The Indian police that is accusing guilty in return for some money.

- The parties shouting in parliament for no reason. Etc.

Are not at all part of Indian democracy instead, they are part of our system. Which should be blamed and not our democracy. And as we know it is 68 years of democracy in India and even largest democracy in the world we all should respect that.

Thank you.
