Politics is a reflection of the pool that it represents...

Large percentages of India is uneducated. Why do you expect that people who vote for candidates place any importance on their education, when they themselves are uneducated? They are a reflection of the electorate, in more ways than one. They are as corrupt as the average man on the street. (How many people would rather get a traffic ticket for a broken tail light than bribe the cop Rs 100?). They are as educated as the average man on the street.
Look at the leader of the free world to know how effective the electorate is in selecting the most intelligent candidate :D. Democracy as such elects the person who fits certain requirements within the sytem. Level of education is almost never one of them. It helps, but it isnt necessary.
