The biggest problem in our country is our politicians who couldn't have been better in view of our Constitution. Even if you don't qualify for a post of peon, you can be our honourable minister. The only qualification needed to be an M.P. or M.L.A. is minimum age of 25 years and Indian nationality.
The second problem is adult franchise system. We are getting representatives elected by illiterates. Most of the educated people don't exercise their right to vote. When a candidate knows that he has a vote bank of illiterates, he finds ways to keep his vote bank in good humour even if it means pursuing policies detrimental to the overall interest of the society and nation. There should be a little amendment in the adult franchise system. For example, one vote of graduate can be given the weightage of 10 or 20 votes of illiterate people. In the same way, one vote of a tax payer should be equal to 100 votes of non-tax payers. If this is made to happen, we will find all of a sudden a sea change in the quality of our politicians and their electioneering strategies.
But the problem is that we have made the ridiculous provisions of our Constitution a sacred cow.
