I do not agree with you statement that adult franchise is wrong. Consider the unscruplousness of our politicians. If the poorest and weakest sections of the society did not have the right to vote they would have been crushed openly in manner worse than what any dictator has done. This problem could have been solved if our constitution had been written with emphasis on protection of individual rights. Our constitution tried to created a strong central government that was elected by the masses. This government was given power to interfere in every aspect of life in the country. Such a system will ultimately lead to mob rule. India needed a constitution that provided a government whose powers were most limited and cutailed. Through a series of checks and counter checks (through institutions like judiciary, election commission, parliament etc) it should have been ensured that no government institution could act arbitrarily. The procedure for ammending the constitution should have been far more difficult. Any mention of religion, caste in any government procedure or office should have been strictly prohibited. The profile of a government servant should have been as one who earned the maximum in society but whose powers were most limited. Today the profile is exactly the opposite. The result -INDIAN CORRUPTION
