Is our Political System Reason for our Backwardness?

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.

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?

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.

In my point of view, political system is not only a reason. Because every individual has right to vote. So we have to choose a right leader for our country. You don't realize who are all good and who are all bad. You can choose a NOTA option. The government should proceed the reelection. We select the good one to improve our country.

As per my opinion not only a politics is reason for backwardness there are we don't have awareness obout politics, so it's mistake done by us. We can't blame of our politicians because we know about his background even though, we are elected him for taking money and liquor or religion, I agree few people were vote for honest but they don't decide the result. Now tell to me who is the reason for our backward.

Hello,

I agree that politicians are responsible for backwardness of our country because there are some people over there who after knowing their duties never look or gives importance to them. Rather criticize the other one. This is also applicable to us.

Together with politicians, some of citizens for their own benefits & greed elects the one who fulfill their short term needs & also some people support the only one who belongs to their caste.

There are also many politicians who gives us better advice & bring new laws but then ultimately it should equally be understood by us & followed accordingly but some of us think.

So blaming only politicians is not right but also changing our mind & doing our duty ourselves without any kind of corruption or greed can also help us in improving backwardness to certain extent. "Something is better than nothing!".

Dear friends,

According to me, only politician does not cause of backwardness. I think the illiteracy is the main reason of backwardness. In my country we are voting to special religion who is not good for any country. If a politician will not educated then the backwardness will grow up in my country. Reservation also causes of backwardness. In my opinion in our country we do not concentrate on girls' education. That is very harmful to us. Please thought that that's where women will not educated there the condition of that country can no better in any condition. At many places politicians also causes of backwardness because a politician is rumering on the religion. And gets vote by Indian people. At least we can say that the politician is not 100% responsible for backwardness, but some are placed they are wrong.

Hello friends,

1). It is true that India is backward because of politicians. See the qualifications of politicians across India. Expect for few like Arvind kejriwal, Manohar parrikar, SM krishna etc no politician is from any premier institution. Itself shows about the stands of politics in India.

2). In India first of all for peon job a required qualification is needed. But the highly valuable VOTE doesn't need any qualification. This is the main cause of all miseries. When constitution was drafted not than 5% of total population was educated, so to give everybody a right, the educational qualification was kept a side and vote was given to every body. Since after 66 years of Indian constitution in existence the same rule is implemented and every uneducated is given the right to vote which is been misused. A person who cannot have one square meal, how can he change the fate of nation by voting.

3). Corruption is the worst thing to happen to mankind and this is prevalent in India. So a corrupted nation cannot compete and it will be underdeveloped for another 1000 years.

4). In India every body is greedy and doesn't bother for others. Sometimes it is astonishing that in spite of we having so many gods and their sacrifices, the greediness in people is not going and this is another major backwardness.

Hi friends,

I don't think politics is the main reason for our backwardness. We are backward because of our fault. We are not utilizing our valuable vote effectively in election. Instead of giving vote to right candidate we give our vote to that candidate who belongs to our caste. The best example we could see in BIHAR that how again jungle razz come back in politics in 2015. Everyone knows that how jungle razz ruled over BIHAR for 15 years and almost throw BIHAR backward for 15 years. Same example we could see in central also i.e. congress ruled over INDIA around 60 years. I remember that when INDIA become independent that time 1 rupees=1 USD but now 68 rupees=1 USD.

Almost all countries have political system and the countries who are developed because the people from developed nations are educated and they aware from the background of all political leader and they utilize their vote the right candidate. That's why they are developed and we are developing nation.

One main reason for our backwardness is the quelling of casteism with one-another and other is during striking we destroy our government property. For example recently in HARYANA people burned many buses and destroyed many government properties.

So, we can't say that political system is the main reason for our backwardness.

Hello friends,

According to my point of view, we can't blame the political system and it would be quite unfair to mix the political system with the politicians, yes I know political system is made by the politicians itself but we can't ignore the good works done by the honest politicians for the country.

Secondly it is the attitude of youth which keep themselves deprive of voting and end up complaining about the system. In present scenario not a single person among us wants to join politics, everyone wants a secured job and a happy life ever after. So I am unable to understand the fact that how the system alone is responsible for backwardness. So I would like to conclude it by saying that its not only the politicians solely or the system alone which is responsible for backwardness but many other key factors that should be known.
