India has democracy for nearly 68 years.

We did have progressed a lot but democracy has made us lazy in context with are work. The powers are divided among too many people, the president is just for name sake. He is just like the Queen of England fake fame and pride. He can't even make decision for the armed forces of which he is the very head. This vast division of power has made our rulers sick leading to corruption, dishonesty, etc.

In such conditions dictatorship is very useful. Same as Germany in 1936. A country that didn't even had enough food to feed its people was ready to go on a massively destructive war till 1939. What I think is that like India has adopted the communist as well as democratic ways of governing it should also adopt some characteristics of dictatorship.

I think democracy is better than autocracy because in autocracy, only one person has absolute power. And what is the guaranty that he or she will use this power for usage of mankind? It is totally unpredictable. Also by looking at the face of Indian politician, no one is worthy to choose as dictator. They will use this money for himself.

Hi friends,

We know that India is a democratic country.

Many people in this country have many problems and have many conflict, but we don't understand that these problems are due to people around us and people with us. Still we blame our government and complain about it.

Some of the things we should know are;

* Our government has one of the bulkiest constitution resulting many conflicts.

* The political leaders are not worried about their duties.

* Youths are not interested to be part of politics just like me and you who want to be doctor, engineer, scientist, businessman, fashion designer, artist and actor but not a politician.

If we would be able to overcome these problems then there would be no need of any other type of government because the way of our government{democratic} would be great.

Democracy with a pinch of dictator values is what India wants right now. By this I basically emphasise on the slow developments in our society. We Indians are people who work best under fear. Let's take example of wearing helmets, we wear helmets not because it keeps us safe but we wear it because we fear the traffic policemen who would otherwise impose a challenge on us.

Developement in India is today limited to that helmet when we see the "Danda" we develop, when we don't we pause. So according to me the parties should be limited to two or three so that people can easily judge. The elected must have right to make bold decisions and should only be questionable only to the highest authority so as to instill a sense of fear to work and development would be the result.

I strongly feel believe that India require a dictator like Adolf Hitler so that the life style of the people changes and we can be witnessing a completely developed India.

Hello friends,

If we look back in history, the very first name comes in our mind is of Adolf Hitler, a German solider whose patriotism was misconstrued with dictatorship. It was he who lead his people for the need of country in availing prosperity, liberty and a strong nation. And today we can easily find how Germany has big impact not only in European union but also in the world in the field of science & technology, economics & politics. It does not mean practicing dictatorship by country's leader always have the same output only if it involves the idea of "country first".

In present scenario, we are racing to consolidate our self in the globe in every domain. Our markets are rising, Department of Science and Technology are being recognized across the globe, we are inching towards in developing a better, salubrious and safe place for our people, but in Snail's place as we vision to achieve "a developed nation" title only in this decade. A dictatorship attitude may enforce others to make the all possible work done in time remain either in fear or loyalty.

If the whole idea is channelized effectively, definitely, it will not only gear up all our on going objectives but also help us to achieve it in stipulated time. It is need of hour. It can better understand by taking example of china whom we are lagging behind even getting independence three years early.

Not exactly a dictatorship, but a democratic dictator is all we need. To explain the meaning a party who is elected by the people with a complete majority in the parliament and then the best dictatorial leader among that party, who can impose his/her laws an views on the citizens.

As there is no proven system for this country this country is running on just ideas and experiments all over these years, and don't be astonished to see no development no infrastructure in the coming years too.

The system of constitution is completely VOID in today's world. The simple thing we understand that when something is not working it has to be changed and if you can't make the difference.

Just simply outsource this nation to some other countries. This is the only solution cos to run a country we need a system that leading countries are equipped with. So unite and make this country a better place by placing the overall concept of constitution to outsourcing.

I do not feel that abandoning the idea of democracy is the best way to deal with its apparent failure as a system of governance for the nation. I understand the frustration with the current system which makes one look to an all powerful leader unbound by the opinions of others. However, it is a dangerous delusion to think that a dictator would only work for the good of the people. What makes democracy a long and arduous process is the very same one which makes it a reliable and accurate process of decision-making.

Democracy is by the people, of the people and for the people. It is the best guarantee of equality. Those disappointed by the track record of democracy only need to look at the track record of dictatorships. Hitler was a dictator. Stalin was a dictator. The dissatisfaction of the people in dictatorships ultimately boils over in the form of violent revolutions.

In theory, dictatorships sound like a more efficient way of governance. However, the idea doesn't hold water in practice due to the very human nature of any leader. The power and absolute subservience of the citizens in a dictatorship make it possible for the dictator to think he can get away with anything. Quite simply, there is no way to ensure accountability of a dictator. That is why democracy, despite all its faults is our best bet at a better nation.

I think, everything that is wrong in India is due to the democracy. People have a say in everything, altering the right function of the country. Yes, I agree it is nice for the people to have the power of their own country but this means no strict law can be passed.

Essentially, if India wants to become a superpower, Indian needs to reduce the crime rate and make it known to the world. This can only be done by becoming a dictatorship. Dictatorship will definitely spark a fire among the people but in the long term; a criminal can be hanged, without any socialist people acting against the government.
