Politics is run by the Barrel of Gun

I won't say completely yes or no dependence on environment as our friends said rural and urban areas and local leaders, I think now a days politics not that much effected by gun power & vote for note in some parties that we can support by recent AAP Delhi victory, but if we see other parties note for vote is working mostly than gun power.

But now a days most of all are aware of politics due to technology, every one are accessible to media. Because of some of corrupted politicians and citizens we are still remained as developing country. Hope for better because now PM is doing lot of developmental activities.

Politics are run by gun. Because they have kept guns for their protection but some members do wrong with them.

I don't think in present modern era this happens widely but it is in areas of Maoists and other backward regions where people are not educated and they have deficiency in aspects like money, proper laws and regulations, police control.

In these people we can see that these are weak people and the weaker you will be more chances are there for undue influence on you by any superior person.

As my opinion, politics is gun barrel because it does work its own satisfaction that means no meaning of live normal people in the world normal people depend on them. Before the vote, he makes some promise and after winging he forget something.

There is no denial of the fact that politicians need power to run their politics smoothly and the power of fear often comes in handy. Political parties are a hoard of people with different mindsets joined together by the motto, agenda or principles of their party. They also need that their voters too believe in their propaganda and in order to do so, to lead such large group of people each having his own opinions and way of thinking, they often need someone who can rule with an iron fist, hence the role of power steps in.

In the law of jungle, he who is powerful alone, rules but in our society power must be coupled with responsibility. We humans, are essentially animals and animals are kept in control by power and in many instances we are also controlled by power, we worship power, we fear power. But as we propel into more advanced societies we understand that our biggest power is cooperation. It our teamwork and helping nature.

That has brought our species so far. If the people are contended the party will surely flourish and the true power of armaments lies in the hands that wield it. So it is more important to have the power of the masses with you. The people's trust in their leaders has more potential than having the fear of them.

As we are a developing country we may see some examples where politics is controlled by the barrel of gun but we are on the verge of seeing our politics running on the rails of our nation's development with the fuel of people's trust towards setting up an example for other countries to follow.

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.

As far my knowledge its true that politics are run by the barrel of gun why because they are ruling the government as for themselves they are not fulfilling the basic human needs for the people they just try to attract people saying that we will provide you with facilitates & also to vote the people for their benefits.

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.

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.

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 ?
