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.

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.

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 ?

Hello guys, in my point of view it is true that politics run bye barrel of gun cos if we find history of our leader so we would find that many MLA and other leader's background is not clean and they use their power not only for their personal work but also in election. It's happen in rural area as well urban also, they use their power to threat voter but because ICB it is controlled but it's happening proved by many cases. Here barrel of gun means use their power for illegal voting.

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.

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.

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, I agree that politics is run by the barrel of gun. In our country political system is not a game of vote, it is a game of note. Politicians will pay bribes to public to vote for them or will show the gun power to win election. Because of corrupted political system and the politician still India is a developing country. So, my kind request to all, not to vote for those, on which there is a charge of so many cases registered in police station.

Hello friends.
As per the topic, according to me its true politics is run by the barrel of gun. Why I am saying this because we have seen many booth capturing issues. In recent District Election. If we talk about remote side areas.
Due to lake of awareness of people. They do not know their fundamental rights. Votes are being purchased. Villagers were being forced and beaten by hooligan for casting their votes. It has been proved.

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.
