Democracy is Hampering India's Progress

If you look at history, all developed countries become democracy after they have been developed or completely industrialized. There has been no single country in the world that a poor country become developed nation after they become democrat country when they are poor.

India has demonstrated to the world that Democracy is absolutely at work. Some describe western-style democracy as drugs such as Opium, once you have tasted it, you can not get rid of it, similar to one way dead-end traffic.

Some describe western-style democracy as diseases, once you introduced the democracy, then the whole country is in disorder mentally. So the countries must be rich to have resources for the democracy.

Poor countries can also have democracy, but they will remain poor forever due to the democracy. UK exported the Opium to the world via war in the name of free trading. US is exporting the Opium to the world via war in the name of "Democracy".

We know people are easily addicted to it and that's why there are chaos, poverty and wars in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Thailand, Ukraine, Philippines, Afghanistan, Turkey, Egypt, India, etc.

The Indian society having so many rules. Ex. At the time of travel on bike you must be wear helmet. Its good for every traveler so that's why India country hamper for progress.

India is the seventh largest (by area) and the second most populous country in the world, with roughly one-sixth of its population, of about a billion and a quarter. India is one of the world's oldest civilizations, yet a very young nation.

Under Mughal control for much of its history until its colonization by European powers in the mid-eighteenth century. The world's largest democracy by electorate was created after independence in 1947 under the leadership of its nationalist movement, the Indian National Congress.

Elections to its Parliament are held once every 5 years. Currently, Prime minister Narendra Modi is the head of the government, enjoying a majority in the Parliament, while President Pranab Mukherjee, is the head of state. India is a constitutional republic governed under the world's longest written constitution, federally consisting of 29 states and seven centrally administered union territories, with New Delhi as the nation's capital.

The country has six main national parties: the Bhartiya Janta Party(BJP), Indian National Congress(INC), Communist Party of India(CPI), the Communist Party of India(Marxist)(CPI(M)), Bahujan Samaj Party(BSP) and the Nationalist Congress Party(NCP). At the level of its states, many regional parties stand for elections to state legislatures, every five years. The Rajya Sabha elections are held every 6 years. This is just a small detail.

But Indian democracy is weak. There is no denying that. Corruption has a stronghold on our politicians and that, too, is because the we have failed to educate our entire population in terms of government responsibility. By definition, a democracy can only work well if people, armed with information and self-interest, participate.

Hello Everybody,

Democracy is the gift awarded to all of us. When you listen from the countries where.

Dictatorship is ruling the country you will be thankful to God for our Democracy.

Any way we are lacking behind to literate the peoples about our Rights and Duties towards our Nation. We all should make up our mind and start some tasks for ourselves.

The first I would like to suggest is to Vote for Each and every Election. And also motivate One person to do this. This will make a change. Whats your opinion on this?

Because In Indian Metro Cities Voting percentage is 40% to 50% Whereas in Rural India it jumps over to 60% and above. Now you tell me who is Literate?

Democracy in some way is good but when it is not properly understood by people of India then it is very dangerous. Uneducated people, politician strategies, corruption has destroyed the importance of democracy. Conflict of interest of different People coming from different culture and perception are unable to elect the right candidate. And due to all these factor we are never getting political stability in our country. Elected party always have different ideology than the previous party without concerning what is good for citizens.

Democracy is a system, which has nothing to do with economic progress, because economic progress is another system. Of course, politics and economy go hand in hand. If you say politician who make the democracy and did not follow the principles then regression is the ultimate end-product.

The reality is something different, which is not visible to anybody. People think that democracy implies government of the people, for the people and by the people. So thinks that it implies government of the politician, for the politician and by the politician. But both the categories of people are wrong. Really it is of the business magnets, for the business magnets and by the business magnets.

Who works like the director of film. We always see the hero, heroine and villain of a picture but we do not the real master the director. Similarly, the business magnets are the directors of democracy and politician whatever, may be the post, are the worker to them. Thus, democracy fails to bring the progress as you wants.

In my opinion Democracy has hampered india's developmental progress. Because the majority party holds the reign of Government Inefficient and corrupt persons get themselves elected. They don't even have vision and intelligence.

Democracy is rule by the people, for the people and of the people. India is the largest democratic country in the world.

In India, we are electing govt representatives every 5 years, and the govt formed will introduce many welfare schemes and projects like irrigation, electricity etc. ,

As we know for completion of these projects and for the effective implementation of the welfare schemes, the 5 years of ruling may not be sufficient and after 5 years again elections will come.

If suppose another party forms government then the completion of those projects which was initiated by the previous government Will may not happen faster. They try to leave their mark by introducing their own schemes and their own projects according to their party manifesto.

So, the money of people is been wasted in a big way and is indirectly hampering india's growth.

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.
