No doubt, dictatorship is more efficient type of Government. The dictator is the master of his own will. His orders are the final orders. No one can dare refuse to carry them out. When a nation is down crushed a dictator certainly helps it is rising high. Through heavy penalties and punishments, he frees the country of all corruption. In war-time, no other Government is so efficient as dictatorship.

But dictatorship cannot last long. It is very difficult to get a good successor to a dictator. Einstein, the famous scientist, one said, "Dictators of genius are succeeded by scoundrels. " Germany became a terror to the world in the days of Hitler. Turkey was revolutionized and modernized by Mustafa Kamal Pasha. But after them, their countries again fell in darkness. Further, as the danger of going on a wrong path. There is no check on his powers. People cannot critics him or change the Government through constitutional means. They cannot express their views freely or pass their life in the way they think best. They have no rights. They must obey the dictator blindly. Man is thus reduced to the level of a dumb animal.

Hence dictatorship can't be the solution of India. We don't need to change the form of the Government but we need to reform it.

Its Good to have such discussions. But friends do notice 1 point here. It is the same "we" going to elect the person for both the cases 1) Dictatorship 2) Democracy.

Dictatorship could be more efficient one but on the other hand democracy plays a key role.

Dictatorship will lead to "progress" of country but Democracy leads to "Better" country.

Progress and Better which mean the same again ! if actually concentrate. Becoming Puppets to the political leaders is in our hands. As it is "we" who are electing them. I think what India needs is not whether it is democratic\autocratic? Rather it could be better if there exits mutual understanding between each which is almost a difficult thing to implement. First change "U" then say "society" because ultimately "Society is again U"!we can see Better India or autocratic India only when 1) Every child to old is EDUCATED with EMPLOYMENT 2) Eliminating the POVERTY which we are studying from LKG to 10 in schools but yet no one analyse it!

3) Finally stop practicing VIOLENT METHODS. Not necessary to mention as every know what they do!

Dictatorship is what India needs right now.

The present form of Government has devastated the entire nation both socially and economically. After losing the majority of the resources, its pointless to believe that substantial amendments can be made to bring the nation back to track in possible time.

Dictatorship on the other hand, if laid down, has its own benefits and cons as well. No form of governance can be explained as to be the best for current India as challenges are getting piled up one upon another.

While democracy has been around the corner for a few decades now, laying down the foundation for a new form of governance should be approached rationally fulfilling the need of the hour.

People can derive many examples of nations under stable dictatorship and also believed to be as a significant factor in their development.

Remember guys.

"Too many cooks ruin the food" whereas "All it takes is only one man to bring the necessary change".

If you look around the world today, there is no single country who was democratic before the country is developed.

All countries are developing one way another compared to its own country vertically. However, if you compared laterally, then democracy does harm the rate of the development as it takes time to reach a consensus.

Remember, whatever the policy or decisions made by government, there will be objections.

What ever policy or government made will harm some people, the questions is "will it benefit to majority or whole nation".

Friends lets not forget that dictatorship is all related to skill of convincing people in one direction and no matter then what comes in its way, but looking at India a country who has shown how people can develop, in spite of the different culture traditions and its huge population, where people have different opinions.

In my opinion we set a real good example for world to see how democracy can be practiced without being affected by any barrier and for that I think India do not need dictatorship its happy being democratic and in future it will show why democracy is good for it.

Many of my friends will say that why we still not developed but my dear friends I will ask you to be patient because some things which have thousands opinions need time but don't forget the fruit of patience is always sweet.

To all those who feel that there should be dictatorship in INDIA, friends, if there would be dictatorship, you would not be even able to express this view of yours. We can debate here only because there is FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.

And how can we forget the efforts of all the freedom fighters who fought for our freedom and not for the rule of one. If dictatorship would have been a better option, than there was no need of struggle for freedom because there was the dictatorship of the English people.

Another point is that everything takes its own time and charity begins at home. No development can take place until unless WE make collective efforts and don't just blame the government. There has been evident growth in India. So, in my opinion, we should be proud to be a citizen of the world's largest democracy.

Yet, there are some ill- effects of democracy as well and they can be removed by the laws and our own conscience. Spitting on roads can not be fined in this largely populated country. We have to think that it is our home and we only have to keep it clean.

I completely agree with Bharat. We all are the part of world's largest democracy and proud of it because we know the position of dictatorship country. In these countries, there is so much restriction. In our country everyone has rights. In Saudi arabia if you were going to the shopping then you must carry with someone else. And democracy will give, the better living policies. We all are seen the worlds powerful country USA also stand due to democracy not for dictatorship.

Sisters and brothers of India, let me please make understand the importance of dictatorship and clear your conscience of influential impressions formed over decades of misleading facts provided by the subjugated intellectual authorities.

Considering the long history of India (some of it not recorded) India lost its importance and glory when it lost its brutality. The Indian civilization as we all know began and advanced well before any other known civilization. Hence as it is evident in the recent history that the more advancements and growth a country makes the less brutal it becomes and the more it comes under diplomatic foreign influences.

Therefore being established long before the Indian empire after completing its quota of (annexations, attack, division of kingdoms, establishment of dynasties, killings in the name of king) brutality, it became a stable militarily weakened and a moral and intellectual and peace loving empire. Taking advantage of this weakened brutality the foreign invaders ruled India for over 800 years. So after finally getting independence and recognition in 1947.

India should have re established its brutality and firmness to tackle the newly reformed world that is India needed a strong dictator to dictate terms instead of professing a new concept of democracy at that time.

Due to Indians lack of knowledge about the western idea of democracy India became a victim of unawareness and constituted a system of government divided on religious lines just to overcome its tendency to get exposed globally on how tough it was for India to sustain its diverse culture.

Hence I strongly believe that just one term of dictatorial or authoritarian government would have lifted India morally as well as economically as is the case of china. India would have been a more respected nation by the western world.

We don't need dictatorship what we need is strict enforcement of law. The punishment on the crime should be so severe that others can't even think of committing that crime again.

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.
