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.

The way I see it I think that the political system is responsible for these all things just because of this India is still developing and other countries are on the stage of developed. Not want to believe only to the political system as it is also the responsibility of the common peoples and we are the people who are also responsible for this we choose these leaders and because of this the backwardness is going to happen.

Secondly, the reason is that the difference between the presidential and parliamentary make the backwardness as we see the presidential system in the US make it as a like G5 country and what we see that they are developed and because of the parliamentary system we are going to still developing country note on the political system so many other things but because of the political is the most of the backwardness season is going to happen that the political system make our country 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!".

Yes, it is true according to me, Our political system is so much responsible for backwardness and people itself also. People is also very much responsible for their poor situation and also backwardness. Because in India, people are so greedy and we all know that greediness has no limits it increases day by day. Our politician knows this very well and taking advantage of this habit of people especially poor class. We can take an example as an election in India. In the election, many politicians distribute alcohol and cash among voters and want their votes for winning and people accept in greediness and some people in their difficult situations also. So according to me, our political system is so much responsible for backwardness and it should be improved. We heard many scams done by the politician because there is no transparency in our political system.

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.

It would be very naive if we blame our political system for our backwardness as a country. Neither can we blame the political leaders. It is us the common people of India who is to blame for our lack of exposure globally because we are the ones who elect our leaders.

Our political system gives us the right to elect the leader of our choice and more often than not we don't choose them wisely. Our mind sways from the actual motive and gets tangled is aspects like caste, religion etc when we finally choose our leaders. We often get caught in their mind games and end up making mistakes.

Let's us also not forget we've also chosen some great leaders in the past and hopefully will do in the near future. It is our responsibility to choose our leader and if anyone is to blame for our backwardness, unfortunately it's we the people of India.

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.

In my point of view, I think not only the political system, but the people are also responsible for the underdevelopment of our country.

Frankly speaking, let us assume an engineer or a doctor, who comes up from backward areas. He /she will be trying to improve their own standards of living. But, they least bother their village or area from where they came from!

When we, the people didn't bother about ourselves then why others will?

The political system is also responsible for our backwardness because it is in the hands of them, to take necessary actions and steps for the development of our country. Even they too least bother, because they only concentrate on the money which they get!

Finally, I conclude by saying that not only the political system but also we, the people are also responsible for our country's backwardness.

All right here is a thought when we say politicians so what are they for in this country and for that matter in any country they are to ensure well-being of society and infrastructure of a country but instead of taking a note on what is happening deep down under skin in country (say public education which is wrecked) they kept themselves mere in "politics" as you know they are both executive and legislative body of this country they wield immense power but the keen desire to work for the people is lacking at least in most of them.

Our mostly paralysed democracy has a lot to do with the mindset of our politicians.

Well, it's not that all blame should be on them. Our native population to choose popularity over superiority and that give away to rich and/or uneducated crooked and sometimes educated crooked politicians.

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.
