plz don't blame on Indian democracy.Don't make such scarry comment on intelluctual thoughts of our freedom fighter.
The blame is rather on us. Take a simplification Indian voters: 400 Million Out of which, Total Family: 80 Million( 5 Persons each family) Out of which Upper Class: 4 Million ( 5 %, assume) Middle class: 35 Million ( 45 %) Lower poor class: 40 Million.This class are poor from all civic infrastructures. They are impulse bahavour pattern, easy to confuse and easy to influence( on the spot).
Total voting in election(Generally) : 50%(assume) , More than generally happens.
This is happened owing to participation of poor class people.
Who is not going : Middle and upper class.
So, If politicians are selling their words into market of impulse behaving people,what these politicin will do, think: market is uncompetitive? So, try to change market to be uncompetitive? Otherwise One can say: Bad politicains are elected by good citizens, who don't want to vote.
