Is our Political System Reason for our Backwardness?

Hi, folks, this is a topic worth discussion as the state of country and quality of leadership in a country are both dependent on same building component which is the People of this country.

A building made of poor material will never stand tall, however meticulously it is planned. In a similar way, the country we live in will never develop till we, the basic fiber of the country are developed. Gone are the days when a king planned and ran entire nation in his own ways, good or bad. The present world is run by people and takes the path which majority of its people decide.

This political system was implemented by our leaders who brought this country into existence after a long period of slavery. They fought for good and passed on to us a very strong foundation of democracy. Facts reveal that we have lost ourselves to greed, malice, fear and lost our sense of vision. We forgot the quality of life and broke threads of society to build cocoon nest of our own. A population has grown ten folds and so have each vice in society. However, moral and social education have not grown at the same pace.

I agree that politicians in present day country are causing a lot of damage to the progress of the country. But, the question is who elected them to decide the fate of the country?

It's up to us to choose good leaders and bring our country among leading countries.

We can't blame politics for the backwardness. As everything has two ways positive or negative. We should be true with our part as a daily life routine we ignore the moral duties that one should perform as a vigil citizen of a democracy so that others can be saved as they are lacking in awareness. The government makes policies for our welfare there is no point of blaming them without implementation and only we can implement these rules. As for an example, we know that child labour is a bad and we still tolerate it every day in one or more points. At that of time, we don't follow the duty rules. The other example is that bribe id unethical and unjust but some of us just take it lightly and even pay to get our work done somehow so the only govt cannot be blamed for backwardness we too are responsible for that.

What I felt and understand the topic is already we know happened here but we don't know what to do.

If you will see meticulously watching the election. For example, majority party won major parts constituency in the states. But winning (majority) party got only 30% voters among 100% population remaining 70% population hate the won party but here majority party was ruled. This trick was used all elections go to backwardness India.

India has different cultures and languages and also huge population. So we won't follow developed countries rules and regulations.

We have to create own unique ideas based on our society. Then only clear corruptions and its solutions.

Our preamble starts with the lines of "We the people of India. " means we ourselves adopted the constitution by framing this existent political system. We built a beautiful house and if there is any vastu problem, will go for modification rather than demolishing. The same example applies here in Indian political system. Our political system is blend of 64 countries. We are following the principles of major developed nations like America, UK etc, but where we are lacking?

Poor coordination between ruling party and Opposition. Ruling party and opposition should go hand in hand in implementing the programmes whoever comes to rule.

Programmes which are launched by Govt are not reaching the targeted population.

I don't think it will be right to blame Indian Politics solely for our backwardness.

1. Politics involves the major formulation of policies and their legalisation in the Parliament houses.

2. Every system is made of subsystems and elements, Instead of blaming from top to bottom, we should see through this from bottom to top. The elements need to be strong to form a compact and effective system.

3. The citizens involve in the damaging morals of action. Bribing, corruption is done by the most significantly elected personnel of high educational qualifications are independent and are not affected by politics, mostly.

4. It is critical to improving at an elemental level before blaming the politics alone, whatsoever.

Is our political system reason for our economic downfall?

Obviously! YES. Our Indian constitution starts with a sentence "we the people of India" which is palpable that any good or bad must signifies us. Political system solely not responsible can be proven by the facts if we go through the election were we give precious votes to elect the person who not only govern us but country too.

Recent perspective.

In recent election we have seen that victorious party won by 35% of the capable strength of votes, then question arise, where are the rest votes? obviously, there are the person's who had didn't voted. This question needs to be answered. In Kerala, majority of the people not voted due to the non-availability of female candidates, possibly this is the reason for the upper question but is it for all states? This is vague in respect of other states regarding the same issues.

Our great pacifist leaders gave their whole life for good life, prepared a well stable constituency so that we live in an archaic environment still we seeing ourselves far lag behind of another country. This means we are not respecting their belongings. We clouding their beautiful constituency.

Our country is larger democracy in the world, even another country also thinks as a milestone.

Overall, we not need to copy them to how to bring growth in the economy but to make our own terms rule the world with our merits and the advantages which are absent in another country's.

My opinion is that India is a very big country and its have many resources. Some people who have some political power they misuse this resources. So they are causing to be backwardness.

After reading many views.

I imagine what India would have been if British didn't step more than Two Centuries ago on Indian soil. They were the one against casteism and therefore abolishing it. They were ruling us without any bias. In addition preserving the lands of tribals against Rich. As long as British were in India, casteism was dormant, and India was safe.

But as we see now, it was still in the brains of people then.

But we threw them out of India, thinking them as an external threat to our nation. At the cost of GROWING CASTEISM in our SOCIETY. And this very threat has engulfed whole India and its Ruling system.

Caste OR Religion is two soft edges in our People's brain. If any political party (especially corrupt SORRY all are corrupt) keeps its root to a particular caste or religion then YIPEE. They win. They rule (today's leading political party).

POWER can turn any person into filthy corrupt. No doubt.

So I think it's our INDIA. It's our political system. And it's our moral education.

Indian politics spoil our educational system and everything which require for the good society. In short.

According to me, our political system is little cause of backwardness.

I believe that if poverty will decrease then literacy will increase and ultimately unemployment will be decreased.
