Politics is run by the Barrel of Gun

Friends as per my point of view politics is run by barrel of gun because in rural area people are not aware about their rights and power. In rural area votes are purchased by money or forcefully taken by the point of gun. If people aware about their right to vote and if police will give protection then relation between gun and politics can be broken.

I don't agree with the statement. Politics are run by the barrel of gun is only in case of rural area.

I think the villager are sort of frugal and can do vote in return of money. Guys they are more intelligent than sensible people in city. They use the favor of other party and cast vote for other party. The system is all based electronic so how come politician can know which individual cast their vote to which party. He can do double dealing.

Also as if the situation is threatening ?

Nowadays, I think politics with barrel of guns is only seen in the remote area or maoist area and I want to categories it on the basis of area :

In rural area the voters are given money to vote for the party and the poor people in the villages cast their vote by taking money because most of people in the rural area are illiterate.

In urban area the people are aware and intelligent and they know to whom they should vote and they are not distracted by these money bribe and other type of bribe.

In Remote area here votes are taken by the barrel of the guns.

According to my knowledge politics not run by the barrels of gun because today onwards peoples are educated they know what is right or wrong happen in this countries in the period of any other government. Today education spread all over country. Fews years before politics run by the barrels of gun in some places not especially in remote area, on those places where there education is not available, but today approximate all people are educated so this thing not happen today in this countries.

Hello friends.

I m partially agree with this statement now in India people are aware about their fundamental right and they are educated, they know the value of their vote therefore they use their mind while voting and this result in a very high amount of reduction in the criminal background people in parliament. But yes as all people are not so much educated therefore they are exploited by some politician. So a very much important need of our country is that we have to people aware about their rights and in last I want to say only one thing that their are people in our country who does not know whether they are exploited or not so education is very very much necessary.

Hi friends,

In my opinion, it has nothing to do with the urban or rural area, it has to do with the kind of social setup prevalent where we live. Even the goons & miscreants in urban areas dictate terms & ensure a smooth way up for the criminal turned politicians. Excessive voting by outsiders & multiple votes being issued at the same address is nothing else but a product of politics run by barrel of guns!

I think that politics is ran by barrel of gun before independence. The britain leaders were treating people very cruelly and were gaining votes from them. If they were not voting them they were giving severe punishments. But after independence our country become democratic and there are strict rules and regulations for the politicians also in the constitution which was framed by Dr. Ambedkar. So there are no events after independence in which politicians are threatening the ignorant people. Instead they are giving gifts to vote them. It is also not correct method.

Politicians know all the way to attach the peoples in their party.

Following are some way to manipulate peoples.

- By giving false PRECEPT.
- By showing false PROGRESS.
- By giving the NEEDS of poor peoples.
- By BUYING them.
- By BLAME one another.
- By PARTITIONING them.

And if any of these does not work, they run politics by the Barrel of GUN, which is only possible in backward areas.

Hie! in my opinion, this thing is quite true in some extent like.

In India most of the peoples are still not educated so they do not know their proper rights and importance for the country.

So in election time, they are easily get influenced by the party peoples by hook or by crook. And a non deserving leader get elected.

So I think until or unless the entire India not get aware of their proper rights and importance. A better politician can not be win. Because after all he will be the one of us educated, dedicated and trustworthy.

Hai all,

In my point, education not only influence the people in choosing the right candidate in election. Some educated people also get money for casting their vote. Now a days social media like TV channel greatly influence the people in voting.

Education cannot make the politics to run under barrel of gun, it also depends upon individual perception.
