Politics is run by the Barrel of Gun

The Topic is considered as an irony nowadays. This is because our generation has dared to stand against such type of politicism. Days are gone when politicians used to gather vote for the improvement of their party. But now the citizens of the country dare to stand against them and vote for the proper party to ensure proper running of administration.

But in some parts of the world the situation is still prevalent and one must take the responsibility for the upliftment of his/her society and surpass these barriers in order to achieve a prosperous and flourishing politics in the nation to every part of the country.

First of all It is very glad to say about this topic.

- Illegal and improper way to get vote.
- Lack of proper education.
- Less awareness.
- Corruption.
- Regionalism.
- Religionism and casteism etc.

Above the things which affect the Indian voting politics leaded by force via politicians. Some area which are affected by naxalism where law and order is not working properly but after that also they are under democracy for example north east of India and some part of south India.

So we can say that democracy also affected with force and power of gun as Indian politics is also run on the barrel of the gun.

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.

Politics is meant for the betterment of the people of the country. If a rule is to passed, all the elected members should discuss about the pros and cons and then jump to any conclusion.

But there are many cases where the results are affected by the barrel of gun, ie gun power. Not only in passing the laws, some politicians use it to save themselves from crimes.

Many politicians have a good track record. But there are some politicians who have a FIR registered against them in the police station and they still are free because they have the power of the gun.

Hi.

As per my knowledge, depends upon on the country regions politics are run you the barrel of gun. If we compare urban area people are educated and even though not educated they are aware from the politician. They protected too. So here there is no so much possibility for nationalism.

But in our country more than 50% people are leaving in rural and remote areas. There so security and they are uneducated and unawares. So are insisted by the politicians for votes. So, if government concentrate more about development of rural areas it might be eradicated.

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.

Hi, this is Samyuktha.

In my point of view, that the politics are run with the barrel of the gun. At the time of elections the political parties give the money for their votes.

People elect the political parties in the name of their caste so they don't care whether it is a right party (or) not.

These parties attract people by giving money. These parties can run also media news by telling that the activities of great news in the TV channels.

So, I conclude that the politicians are not good for our state better to maintain a democratic country.

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.

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.

In my opinion, yes politics is run by barrel of gun.

There is a war going on both internally and externally. To get what you want you have to use everything that you've got to show your dominance over the others for the greater good.

What happens if someone points a gun of circumstances to your head ? You flip it, or you pull out a bigger one! What I mean to say is it's all about having a bigger hand in the game, attacking your competitors, using other's weakness etc. Only then one can survive in the battle field of politics.
