India should develop a Cost Effective Version of Democracy
by Praveen George on Apr 29, 2008 03:43 AM

I am a big fan of democracy due to the collective decision making which i feel would be fair sensible and righteous, but giving this ability to a bunch of immature hooligans could be dangerous, imagine an extreme right wing organization becomes a guardians of the decision making bodies of India. So i strongly believe deomocracy is India should change from the western definition of democracy to somethign which would be suitable for India. We can't have lethargic decision making in the name of democracy, we can't spent billion rupees to run elections every 5 years. My suggestion is let us follow a decentralized approach, instead of allowing voting powers to every people let the poeple vote of panchayat members and only these members should be allowed voting in Loksabha/State Assemble elections. Why spend billions to keep electing some scum bags , better save that money so that we can build roads/bridges
