Indian democracy - Greatest Hipocricy
by Surajit Dash on Dec 19, 2007 05:44 PM

Indian democracy is a great hipocricy.
Democracy here means - adult franchisee where most of the illeterate voters do not know whats their right and power. They are lured to vote sometimes by money and gifts by variou parties -sometimes compelled by power .. and sometimes just to feel happy about their voting right once in 5 years.

The leaders they choose are too far from them after the election. No one has control on who will be the PM. Take for Example Dr. Manmohan Singh.. Had the people voted for him to be the PM? There are lot of loopholes in the process. Backdoor entry is the easiest.

True value of democracy will be realized when the voters are literate and understand the effect of their one vote. Karunanidhi is distributig Free Color televisions in TN... and The price of Dal per kg has gone up to rs.52/- a kg in one year from Rs. 40/-. Poor people dont understand that They are actually purchasing the Televisions at a higher cost than they can get at the Shop, by electing Karuna. Am I wrong? There was a report in Rediff 2-3 days back regarding the Youth meet at Tirunelvelli... where liquor shops had ran out of stock, and traffic was affected.. trains were stopped outside the city putting thousands of commuters in problem. This is the return our true leaders have in store for the people who have voted for them. This is Our DEMOCRACY..

People- attached our parliament (highest body of any country).. they were let off on mercy. A country doesnt have guts to provid
