Politics is run by the Barrel of Gun

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.

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.

I agree with this that politics is run by the barrel of gun corruption has always been on high state and this corruption has lead to won many votes illegally for them. They use all unfair means and all the illegal methods such as getting bully purchasing votes from innocent people in remote areas. And in many cases asking votes on gun points. Again this is the cause of selecting a right politician who can stood all against this.

Hello everyone,

According to me, Indians are not that much educated but still they all know the value of their vote.

In remote area and specially in maoist area like north-east, chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh this kind of issues happen.

I Urban area this kind of scenario is not there because people are protected by police.

So, in the end I would like to say that it's fear for own life and inability of government.

And thats why politician take it as opportunity.

Thanks.

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.

Yes now days politics become a barrel of guns only people are so selfish and only thinking about their own family but they are response to society but they don't care for it.

I think politics is run by the barrel of the gun because rich industrialists and politicians often end up exploiting the law. Rigging is now common not only in rural but also urban areas. Voters particularly the extremely poor ones are being bribed and laws are broken by the politicians themselves in various possible ways which is making the common man irascible.

Ok, I agree with politics is run by barrel of gun. Its almost common for a criminal to run for election.

In the rural areas of India, it is true that politics is being run by the barrel of gun. There are a lot of examples in India which vouched that politicians are winning elections and ruling their regions by terror.

As we can see that most of politicians have criminal background and the reason is that political parties gives their tickets to those people who're well known in their respective areas and hooliganism is the shortest way to be well known. I think that's the main reason for running politics by the barrel of guns.

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.
