Dear friends,

In our democratic country, there should be no place for dictatorship. We should respect to those who sacrificed their precious lives to get rid of dictatorship of English people for all of us as we are enjoying today. You can remember that time before independence when our brave men like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Azad, Sukhdev, Bhagat Singh and a large number of freedom fighters fought for us to make our life better than before.

They did not accept dictatorship of English people rather than to run them away to their own country our every freedom fighter made dictator himself (for English people) by following his own principles and values so that Indian people could not face dictatorship of foreigners again. We have fundamental rights under which we use different kind of powers distinctively.

In democracy, we are still in control of these selfish leaders. There should be more and more participation of people in decision making, this is what democracy says. But I have never seen any common people participating in decision making.

I would say, a good dictator and the type of dictator who thinks of the country's situation and really want to serve India, then that is 100. Better than this corrupt democracy.

In India, judiciary system is not good. It is very, very slow.

No, the country needs dictatorship. India is already doing well. Also, corruption is not a big problem.

Illiteracy is. If we can just provide an opportunity for education to each and every citizen it is enough. I m not talking about quality education just a not too low-level education. This is enough. We don't have our views and we all are not able to go into politics and correct it. You or I are of this much capable most of the people are not. If we can just do this.

More than 1 billion educated Indians can change the entire planet.

As of what India needs today, it is nothing other than a strong dictator; who can take decisions instantly.

Today, we live in a society full of anti-social elements. Even if some of us dare and speak against it, our voice is oppressed by the powerful. But, who are these powerful people and where do they come from ?

Well, they are nothing but ordinary people who are very clever. They use the weakness of the common masses cleverly against others in a very efficient manner. In doing so, they "ROB" the rightfully earned money of others, through which this whole system runs.

It is a common practice in human behaviour that people respect and follow the orders those whom they fear, like we all fear The Almighty. If this rule is applied to our society, then there is no law or person, as such, today whom the people are afraid of. Robbers, culprits, dacoits and many other anti-social elements are today roaming free, causing harm to others. Had they been afraid of 'LAW and ORDER', our country would not have been where we are today. The law making body our country also doesn't want to make strict laws because if someone from their side is accused, then they would also have to face charges.

The Judiciary of our country is also very lenient. If someone accused of a very serious crime, like murder, is about to be hanged, The Supreme Court or The High Court of the respective place put a stay order on it. This is the reason why the family of the victim of 16/12 rape case is still awaiting justice. The assassinators of Shri Rajiv Gandhi should have been given death by now, but still they were let off and their punishment changed to Life Sentence. Tourists are also not spared many times in our country. This would not only lead to the degradation of our country's reputation, but our Tourism sector would be worst hit. Very shameful for our country.

Now, coming to "Dictatorship". Yes, dictatorship is the worst form of government, but still the need of time for India is dictatorship. A dictator, who can make strong laws; who can revolutionize our country, is much required. Adolf Hitler has said in his autobiography Mein Kampf - "I am thankful to that period of life (when he was in Vienna) because it hardened me and enabled me to be as tough as I am now. I am grateful that I was thrown into a world of misery and poverty and thus came to know the people for whom I was afterwards to fight. " The laws made by the dictator would be very strict, thereby creating fear in the mind of culprits and help in decreasing the crime level of our country.

We should always hope that one day, our this dream shall come true. The youth of India has the capability to accomplish this feat.

Very nice discussion going on thought I would include some of my ideas also, I think that a dictator although may not sound too good for 21 st century people because of the bad history of the dictators, but this is something very important.

A parliament can't take quick decisions, in parliament the opposition unstabilizes the whole environment sometimes on the other hand a dictator along with his council can take advice's and then finally give a decision.

Thanks.

India don't need dictatorship. Dictatorship are bad as they make decisions and implement them without thinking about the effect on people. In some cases, the internet and free speech are restricted too. No one can stop a dictator leader easily, he does what he feels. The make rules and regulations tight. For small crimes, they sentenced them long.

India needs a dictator but who will dictate whom, but unfortunately every state with every regional head will be in the line to dictate, the west, will say we have the best ruler, the east will say it is with us, the south will open its wealthy rulers, and the north will come out with its wealthy sarpanch, so will be chosen the fight for power will be waged by our own politician billionaires and we will always stand to lose as they will be more thirsty for power, than India will go to South, and east and Bharat to North, Hindustan to west.

It is no matter that whether it is democracy and autocracy it is good government which makes the difference but if we talk about India then I must favour autocracy because I feel it can do such thing which are not done by our democracy even in 60 year I want to named then corruption, reservations, communal riot. If power goes in one hand he is allow to do one hand and for that no one claim for that, take the example of china when he see that overpopulation he implemented the one child policy at the same time India also want to implement two child policy but he could not do because of democracy but china implement because of semi autocracy, that type things I want to express, thank you.

Well, I see that democracy is the better alternative against dictatorship, as because.

1. A dictator, will have his own view of country's overall development, which might not suit everyone's need. Worst case scenario would be that he shall plan only for his benefits, or to implement his agenda. Beside, we shall never know whether the dictator thus installed in his/her post would actually work for the development of this great country?and he will not be accountable to anyone.

2. Even if democracy gets corrupted, it needs the support of the people in order to survive. So, even if one makes false promises in order to woo voters, he/she still must have to do something in order to get re-elected. In other way, democracy ensures the development, in spite of how fast or slow it is.

So if you any problem, choose a right representative who is honest, empathetic and can make and implement strategies to improve our lives.

If you don't find anyone, BECOME ONE.

Hi, I would like to express my opinion too about this topic.

When too much of power is concentrated in one hand, it generally leads to misuse of such power. Dictatorship is exactly that. One person can initiate a change but unless everyone 'willingly' follows it, the change is just a dormant one or futile. And forcing a person is not an option. Dictatorship represents all that. Moreover, it is not necessary that the dictator whose gonna come up has a completely pure intention. Thus, the solution of India's increasing crimes and corruption is not dictatorship.

Democracy, without a doubt, is the best form of government but just selecting a person and handing them some power and hoping that they would change or end the entire nation's grief is just pathetic. They could just formulate laws to build a dream nation but without the cooperation of citizens living in it, it is an impossible task. If the citizens refuse to follow their duty then I doubt the political leader (with no matter how much a clear intention) couldn't bring about any change. The task of betterment of nation lies in our (citizen's) hand and not some random person we select to hand over the duty of handling the nation. They are doing their duty and we should do ours.

And dictatorship is definitely not the answer to the challenges the nation is facing. A tyrannical dictator could do as much as the political leader albeit with much more force. But it will ultimately do as much good as the present govt is because ultimately the change more in citizen's hand than in leaders. Leaders can guide us but unless the citizens take it upon themselves to follow the guidance it is as good as a candle without matches.
