What Else Proof one needs that India is indeed the LARGEST DEMOCRACY on Earth than the fact that biggest critics of Indian actions are within India itself (Including the author of the article).
A Chairman of a Statutory Body of India, criticize a three times elected CM with 2/3 majority, in a newspaper of a country which is called as India's arc-rival & still hold onto his chair, thats Democracy for you.
Though we claim to be the largest democracy on earth due to the fact that we constitute the highest no. of voting population in any country, but we never said that we are the BEST democracy on the Earth, as it is next to impossible since all nations & it's systems have flaws in-built in them.
But what i take it as the biggest IRONY is the fact, the obsession of certain people with Indian democracy & the sheer FUN they take in finding it's flaws, but they themselves are the one, for whom Democracy is a Distant dream as Dictators take the call there at the end of the day.
Yes, We have RAPES, but atleast we can PROTEST about it & force the govt. to bring a LAW in just 2 months time.
Yes, We have riots, but atleast we have voices that takes the cause of the victims to the highest authorities no matter 28 years have past or 10 years have past.
Yes, We have corruption, but atleast we can again force the govt. to bring the Laws like the RTI or the Lokpal to tackle the problem.
Yes, We have almost every trouble in India that any country can imagine of, but atleast we have CHOICE to elect another government. If one looks at the no. of countries around, one would know that CHOICE to ELECT is the PRIVILEGE that India & only few other countries have.
Again, We are not the BEST Democracy on Earth, We don't claim to have a FLAWLESS system but we have maintained a DEMOCRATIC SETUP for the past 65 years of our Independence & we are PROUD OF IT.
