In my opinion, Democracy is the best form of government India can have. India is the most diverse country where people of many religion, language, culture etc live. These have varied interests which no single person can entertain.
In democracy, every community has their representatives in the government who fights for their interests, thus everybody has the authority which make them satisfied.
I know that despite democracy we have not been able to achieve what we wanted but the unity, fraternity and peace in the country is due to the democracy and if we want the country to achieve more success then we, the people should change our attitude and hold accountability as it is ultimately the people of our own society that are taking the decisions.

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.

Dictatorship is not necessary for modern India. As government of India has framed the constitution in such a way that there will be ensured security for all communities such as minorities women and children. There is a strong defence forces against corruption, and other backlogs in India. Still some hurdles are are going in India. Dictatorship is not in useful in any manner in India. Because it is under the rule of a monopoly and he will do as he likes. If he is a good man we can adjust to him. But when he is wicked no one can adjust him. In the case of yemen who ruled uganda a country in africa and hitler who ruled Germany this has happened. In a democratic country like India the govt is by the people for the people and to the people so people should elect a responsible and courteous person to rule.

First of all, India is a democratic country and democracy has been defined as "of the people, by the people and for the people". So the power is with the people and if there is a problem in a democratic country it is the fault of the people, For example we all make a big fuss and complain that the roads are dirty in India. Who is the one dirtying the road? Is it the government, no it's us the people. So basically the problem with India is that the citizens are misusing the freedom given to the people. So I strongly believe that India is needs a dictatorship for a few years till The Indians becomes disciplined.

Even though we take a lot of pride in saying that " India is the world's largest democracy ", the outcome of this form of government has been far from satisfactory. Inflation, scams and scandals, lower gdp, rising level of crime, all these have torn apart the country and led to the lowering of morale of the citizens.
As is said " Too many cooks spoil the broth ", the mayhem in India is a classic example in support to this. Our so called worthy democrats, the people whom we pin our hopes upon, are often unable to reach to a satisfactory decision on topics of national interest and have a divided opinion. In case of a person having an autonomous authority at least we would be served with concrete decisions which we could chew upon and would yield results. At Least he would not sit mum while our territory is being seized by our " neighbors " but would take action.
The current form of government has not yielded any positive results and we still remain a third world country. Change is the only constant and we should be more receptive to autocratic form of government too.

No, according to my view, India is a democratic country where different races and different caste takes breath in this country, if dictator is exist in that country then the integrity and the sovereignty of the country will hamper and it will lead to a conflict among the people due to allotting of only one leader without people's permission. It may happen that the leader which is nominated may give importance to this people and he may behaving like an hilter.

Hi Friends, I am Shashank. This topic sounds to be a very interesting one.
I personally feel that the giving the country, especially like India, which is diversified in its every aspect, to the hands of the dictator is like nothing but inviting the problems yourself. Some of my friends think that yes the dictatorship is good as the dictator is free to take the decisions firmly and will be able to eradicate the problems like corruption, terrorism but would happen if he himself terrified the country with his acts. One can't imagine what would be the pic of India then. I do agree but that he also may be best and can take the country to zenith heights of success but then to this point I would like to quote an English proverb.
"Two heads are better than one".
So instead of choosing the dictator we should try to be a responsible citizen first and then we should also try to to elect a best candidate possible, not from selected list, i.e from list available to you, but from the list we the people of India think should be.
Only after then we can think of a glorified India.
Thank you.

The only reason why we can post/comment on anything is because of the democracy in India. Every ideology comes with benefit and flaws so do democracy and dictatorship.
If we want dictatorship we all should be ready to not to raise voice against anything. No choices, no protest against low wages given to labourers etc. Staying in a democratic country we cannot imagine how does it feel living in a country follows dictatorship, look at middle east countries!.
Talking about myself I am proud to be the citizen of a secular country where if I want I can make changes in politics because democracy allows me to do so.

No, all that India needs to be a superpower is that the educated people like you and me should understand our responsibility well and contribute to its prosperity by our deeds. Had we been realising this since we got freedom the scenario would have been quite different. We call names to the politicians and say damn things about them and escape even the most important role to be played as a citizen of a democracy - VOTING - just on the pretext that all the politicians are the same and we will not vote to any.
While saying so we do not realise that this is our vote which could make the difference because we will always be choosing a lesser evil, even if the assumption of all the politicians being evil is correct.
If we would be choosing the least evil since our independence the best evil would have come out by now to rule the country. This is we who waste most of the precious resources of the country which are not in abundance and leave the weaker section deprived of, for instance, drinking water, electricity, cooking gas, fuel etc. Etc. The bold and clear question in front of we the intellect and educated people is WHO GETS DIRTY TO CLEAN THE HOUSE OF OUR OWN. In fact the weaker and uneducated section of our society is not even aware of the responsibilities of a responsible citizen.
So how can we expect him to have less children and not increase the already burgeoning population of the country. Again this is we who can educate them at least as much as it is necessary to read and write. Do we not encounter in our everyday life at least one such illiterate person who comes across our routine life and we can educate him/her?

INDIA NEEDS A DICTATOR.
While we talk of dictatorship we always tend to think and give examples of nazis and fascists etc but think of this, if we talk about voting a right candidate to power why can't a honest person come to power by himself and lead by example now thats a possibility. Democracy is new to India and its just few decades old and look at its condition, people have lost faith on the government entirely. We are a deadly mix of people who were never meant to remain together But all we need is a cohesive force, a force so powerful that will not only bind us with fear but peace, stability and development. The dictatorship in India should be like as follows:
1. The revised constitution will be the only holy book of law.
2. A party with nationalistic programmes and no hidden agenda.
3. No reservations but instead robust facilities and talent development.
4. Governmental participation based on education, experience and likeness of public.
5. No appeasement politics but yes the hinduism should be taught to the world as this is the only land for hindus.
6. A uniform civil code and cooperative participation from grassroot levels.
7. Everything that is anti-national should be banned.
8. Sanskrit should be made compulsory at schools.
9. A single party in which anyone can participate.
10. 5 year elections will still be conducted but with revised and best election procedures.
11. Revision of authority and simpler governance mechanisms in place.
12. Growth, prosperity and city hygiene should be first on agenda.
13. Religious and cultural organisations should be monitored and any hate propaganda should be met with strict punishment.
14. The glory days of India should be brought back with efficient and honest governance and full public participation.
I can write many such points but at the end of the day its our necessity and our desperation and frustration with the current state of affairs that has led us to find the best way to drive our nation. And last but not the least isn't it that our so called 5 year governance is actually TEMPORARY DICTATORSHIP. THINK ABOUT THAT. AND YES IF YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT YET AS TO WHO DICTATES YOU NOW FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CRITICIZE.
. .PEACE. .
