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.

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.

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,

In my opinion India doesn't need dictatorship. Because India has a largest democracy and our democracy defines all the fundamental rights of every citizen in India. But if dictatorship is their then the person can more intention towards the people. Therefore our democracy is needed which may help all the people to choose their leader on their own or interest.

Thank you.

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.

No India does not need a dictator because India is a country of varied cultures and religions and to think that one person can make laws for all of them unilaterally is absurd. What India needs is a strong leader who can take tough decisions and can convince the parliament to rally behind him. This will give rise o good decision making and will also keep the spirit of free India intact.

I think India needs a democraship i.e. a combination of democracy and dictatorship. In this form of govt some issues such as law making, crime, armed forces are handled through dictatorship and other issues such as education are handled through democracy. Simply speaking divide all the issues into two.

India needs dictatorship because dictator is the only person to change the law and he will suitable judgement to rapists by sentencing them to death. As you know Rajiv gandhi was assassinated. The court is still thinking to sentence them to death. The court is not able to give proper judgement to a victims who killed the prime minister. Then how can believe the law helps a common man. I am ready to become dictator but I am waiting for opportunity.

Yes India needs a dictatorship. Our society is a PUPPET in the hands of the so called political leaders, they run the society according to their requirements if it benefits them (their pockets) they just do it at the cost of even numerous lives. The anti social elements are not just the barricades for India's development but are the root cause for India to descend.

All this comes to an end only when there is a strong rule of a dictator. His instant and strict rules improve the law and regulations of the country.

I prefer for it and await for it to happen soon.

Dictatorship will lead you to progress, but its not suitable for India where we have so much diversity of culture & the mindset of being ruled by a religious person, will not at all work with India's demography! Its more likely to ignite a civil war. Democracy is the vital part of India an Indian systems which empowers every citizen with special right towards making India a better Place. Dictatorship will lead India into a dark future of no friendly countries around its border India will not be able to retain the sustainability. Dictatorship has its own down points, as a single dictator cannot understand and lead the mass of India and the minor communities will feel left alone.
