The Democracy of India is a JOKE
atleast india is a lot better than pakistan which consistently figures in top ten list of failed states......
How are those pictures above retarded?
Not a good record for Indian "democracy" so far. When will India ever ever deliver on its promise on this?
Is India really a democracy?
At the heart of all problems lies the politics of the country. We opted for democracy as our political system. But I have been wondering for quite some time - how democratic is Indian polity?
Indian polity has failed to provide solutions to the common man's problems. If a government teacher plays truant or does not teach properly, can the parents do anything about it? Or if a doctor in a government hospital does not treat properly or does not give medicines? What can a poor person do if the ration shop keeper openly siphons off rations? Or what can any one of us do if the policeman refuses to register my FIR or registers a false case against us?
We cannot do anything about it. We can only complain to higher authorities who do not act upon our complaints. So, the citizens do not have any control over government employees.
We also do not have any control over government funds. Sundernagari, a slum in East Delhi does not have a secondary school, water, sewer, etc. The people have been demanding these things for ages. But the government says there are no funds. But the government made fountains worth Rs 60 lakh a few years back. Obviously the people did not need fountains. These fountains did not work for a single day, even on the inauguration day, because there is no water!
Likewise, we see that the same footpaths and roads are broken and repaired again and again. But the road in front of my house never gets repaired.
So we, the citizens of India, do not have any control over government funds. Government money is our money. We pay taxes. Even a beggar on the street pays tax - when he buys a piece of soap, he pays sales tax and many other taxes. All this money belongs to us. And we have absolutely no control over it?
We also do not have any control over government policies or the kind of laws passed by our legislatures. Recently, the government introduced Nuclear Civil Liability Bill. It seeks to cap the liability of a foreign company to just Rs 500 crore in the event of an accident on its nuclear reactor. It will have no criminal liability. I thought the government was playing with our lives. Almost selling our lives. And why is the government doing this? Some companies seem to be lobbying for this Bill. And we, the people of India, have no say in it?
So, we have no control over government employees, government funds, government policies. Is this democracy? Just vote once in five years and then plead before the same people who you voted to power? Or plead before the officials who take salary out of your taxes?
We have a democracy of elections to elections. After winning an election, the parties become brazen and arrogant. They would do all wrong things and if you question them, they would say - why don't you change the government next time? But that would be five years later. What do I do right now? I am suffering right now.
Right to Information is a small concrete step in making our polity more democratic. In this bizarre democracy of elections to elections, it has given power to the people to "just question" the governments. Is it not time to move a step forward and demand some kind of direct participation in government decision making? Is that possible?
For The People : Arvind Kejriwal's blog-The Times Of India
I will keep my fingers crossed on India as always. India still hasn't deliver.OK. some education for u dear kiddo. Its obvious that Corruption is directly proportional to Illiteracy, lack of knowledge and Lack of Prosperity and Wealth.
Now you all know India started to move in which direction after 2000. With growing Economy and more opportunities for a common dissatisfied man, corruption is obvious to go down.
Now my above statements are only on basis of taking China as example. Even you know your surrogate country has been the most corrupt in its 50 year post independence history till late 20th century. When the economy boomer, corruption decreased.
Its India's time now. Now I sincerely hope you don't doubt this. Do you ?
I will keep my fingers crossed on India as always. India still hasn't deliver.
Kejriwal is right. India cannot be a good democracy until corruption remains. thats why we see such a huge revolution against corruption and do mind it that we will prevail because never before corruption has been a national issue.Its high time we stand clear internationally as India is seen as an International player now.
Rest all is perfect for being a good democracy as we have one of the strongest institutions in the name of democracy.
Hence, the subject at hand. !!
the idea of democracy revolves around corruption..how can they axe their own foot
