Is our Political System Reason for our Backwardness?

Yes I agree with you my friend Venkatesh as you said most of the politicians concentrating on their own growth and they attract the people by introducing some schemes which will not be useful in our country's growth.

Of course, there is no doubt, they think only themselves.

In today, there is large scope to social development through political career but maximum leaders of our country compete to one to another that who will more earn during their term. It is simple example. You can think that how much property of representative before as the elected member of parliament and how much after completed his term?

I feel political system is definitely one of the reasons for our backwardness. There has been a concerted effort to keep certain sections of the society backward and it all stems out of the vested interests of our politicians. The reservation system in our country has been misused tremendously for furthering political interests.

If Ambedkar's goal was to uplift certain sections of the society within a time frame of 10 years why would there be such a political consensus on increasing the the quota limit in various states.

I do not think citizens are responsible because we elect what is being offered to us. None of the candidates are better than the rest yet we have to choose someone so we try to elect the lesser evil.

Until and unless politicians are also held responsible and accountable for the failures in their tenure which are always innumerable if I mention. Nothing can pull us out of this backwardness.

Definitely yes, maximum number of politicians are only concentrating on their own growth and nobody is caring about the nation. They see their own investments and how much they can gain with in a limited amount of time.

According to me every Indian is responsible for backwardness. If we look around world, many countries reached at very high level in terms of technology. From the starting our government didn't focus on education and I think this is one of the reason.

In India skills percentage is only 3.5% which is very low as compared to the world. On the other hand other countries like China, South korea, America they have really good percentage of skill rate. So for improving in terms of education or business we have to change ourself and government too.

Hello everyone,

In my view, blames on the politics is not even correct because we guys select our leader then its own responsibility how we select our leader which work according to growth of our backwardness.

In our country many peoples are ranging to illiteracy, corruption and politics system is also affects our economy.

If we doing our work with responsibility and select a good leader which work according to people demand. Then we can resolve our backwardness.

The second largest nation in terms of manpower, India, follows democracy as its political system, a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. So we cannot blame our political system for our backwardness because it is we the people who have selected our leaders who in turn make policies for us.

No doubt post independence we were rendered too vulnerable but even after a lapse of almost 69yrs we have failed to do with evils such as unemployment, hunger, poverty, corruption which continue to haunt us even today.

Despite so many policies for our upliftment we have not emerged as a developed nation. It is not the political system to be blamed for our backwardness rather we the people who chose our leaders considering short term advantages or based on caste and creed instead of choosing development as a parameter for selection.

Hello everyone,

I think the reason behind our backwardness are in following points:-

1. Illiteracy.

2. Lackness of awareness in people's.

3. Give vote only based on religion, caste etc.

4. Corrupted leaders.

Hii everyone,

Blaming the political party and its leadership is the wrong part that we are playing blaming yourself could be the best.

No political party is strong enough without our support the main reason for our backwardness is we ourself because we only select the leader if we start rotating the leadership then the leader and the part will start working.

As Nobody thinks of joining politics if we want to change the system we have to get involved it the system our efforts can change each and every thing if we think only the leader will do all the things and we will not think of our society then we too are responsible for that.

In the ancient times, India was the richest country as far as knowledge, wealth, science, innovations are concern, but king's' greed for status n reigns lead internal wars and lead to British rule. The same way politicians misuses the backwards for vote bank. Funds do not reach to people as the same given by the government.

Not only the politicians but people are also responsible for their backwardness, because 'Everyone wants to change the world without thinking about the change in one's own'. Sometimes, the family conditions like poverty, unemployment, expensiveness also.
