Politics is run by the Barrel of Gun

Hi friends,

I am partially agreed that politics are run by the barrel of gun, because in urban area where people are more safe, i.e they are protected by police force. That's why they are not so afraid from criminals. They are too much aware about politics, but in rural area or Maoist affected area peoples are afraid, they are forced to vote to a particular politician. They are not so protected, because they are far away from the urban area and police force is not able to help them in time, so compelled to vote on the barrel of gun.

Hello Everybody.

I partially agree with the statement politics is run by the barrel of gun. This is not the scene in popular and well know areas but in remote areas this kind of situation still exist. Th only weapon which can fight against this problem is education and proper facilities. People in remote ares do not have facilities like good education, empowerment, hospitals and media coverage. They do not know what is happening n the world around them.

So the are not aware of the fact that they are suppressed by few people. Due to this lack of awareness they accept this suppression as their fate and are not raising their voice against it. Once they are provided with the facilities (education, medical, police, media coverage). They will definitely raise their voice against the wrong things and this will help in eliminating gun rule politics.

According to DR. B.R. AMBEDKAR "BALLOT is more powerful than BULLET". But in today's world, ballot became the puppet of bullet.

According to me yes politics are run by the barrel of gun mostly in rural areas because they do not have proper education they do not have any police protection, moreover they are belonging from below poverty line. So obviously if a particular party assure them that you will be getting money if you cast your vote to our party then obviously they will be influenced by that.

This is the fact if you don't have sufficient food for eating twice in a day if you can't buy clothes for your child, if your child can't go to school only because of money then what will be more important for you getting money or casting vote who really deserve to be leader, Isn't it money? That is the main reason.

And talking about urban areas, people of urban areas do have everything luxurious lifestyle, money, protection, media coverage, proper education and a mentality to decide who deserves to be the leader so nobody can make them fool easily.

Hi.

In my point of view many people are saying like this politics are run by the barrel of gun but this is our mistake. Our nation s not made by individual. We have a rights to choose the right one. Who said people from different area has different awareness. Most of the literate people has only theory knowledge about nation. So my suggestions literate or illiterate are doesn't matter here.

People should have a good decision making power to elect the right one. Politician can't able to do anything against people.

I agree some people cast their vote to their caste and for some money. If people learned their mistake from experience. Every will be solved. Everything is in our hands.

Politics today is run by pots of gold more than barrel of the gun, according to me.

Politics run by gun power may be true in remote rural or Maoist affected areas where the people may be threatened with dire consequences. But this does not stand true for the developing or well developed regions of India.

People are more aware than ever now, also with the RTI coming into force many politicians have been exposed for wrongdoings.

I don't think politics in INDIA is run through the use of armed violence. But instead, they use their brains to control the whole system. Before a vote, they make a lot of promises but after the vote they forget everything. Government's main purpose is to make the rich richer and the POOR poorer. People are not getting what they deserve.

Actually, politics is run by us, we choose them to lead our country. When we are not satisfied by our governments work we should replace them.

Public keep their eye in every step of politicians. So if they do anything wrong public do not spare them. Similarly for every good deed they are encouraged.

Hello,

I agree that politics is run by the barrel of gun. Its not only about the rural area or urban area, its about the ruling party and the opposition. Its about their cat and dog relation with each other. Especially, ruling party's politicians use muscle power to remain on power and opposition use their as a defense.

But, in this general people suffer the consequences. This should be stop. We vote and bring a party for the good sake of the society not to destroy it.

Yes. Even I do agree to this point that politics is being run by the barrel of a gun. Ofcourse not in city areas but in backward areas such as MP and UP because people are not very educated in those areas. So for anything and everything politicians use criminals as to get votes from people at their gunpoint and also bribe the innocent people to get maximum votes to win the elections.

I would rather say that. This is nothing but corruption. And it all can be stopped if politicians and we as as respected citizens of India change ourselves and not get into all of this. This is what I feel from my side dear fellow mates.
