Is India a true democracy?
Our country India is normally labeled as world largest democracy, but is it really a democracy?
Well, after watching current trends in the country I am not convinced. I am not convinced that I am in a democracy. It seems more like a communist state – where politicians, bureaucrats, people who have power and money rule; the way they feel like. They make, amend laws according to what they feel is right. Without paying heed to common man’s need. Well, these people are not answerable to anybody – for the records.
See the latest trend, medical students and doctors protesting for quota reservation and the new cause to get ramadoss back. But, is government paying any attention to them. No, government is just going to do what it feels like.
Demolition drive in Delhi – Government did what it felt like. It is not citizens fault that they built commercial complexes on residential lands. Its government fault to let it happen, let politicians get away with whatever way they wanted to use land, not providing enough commercial zones to meet the needs of a growing city.
I feel on issues like quota etc there should be referendum where people can vote – and voice there opinion. There n number of issues on which you can go and on and there is nobody to listen to them and resolve them.
When Politicians/Government officials are not answerable to public, can we really call India a Democracy?
Democracy means – Transparency and Accountability.
I feel I have no voice in my own country – as my opinion does not matter.

- YES coz we make the govt. we make the policians. and we can make them answerable just that we dont have a vision or will? or maybe we have not been craped on enough to swing into action ;)
Yes, we have created the monster ourselves.
Aim of this post was to inspire all to vote with responsibility and inspire senior people from corporate world to give the much needed structure to our democracy.
