Indian democracy has flourished
by GANESHBHAGVATHISWARA IYER on Aug 19, 2008 10:45 AM

Does any political leader or nay one with higher positions on India Governement services touch their heart and say that Indian Democracy has floruished. After 61 years, it is a shame that more than 40 % of indians live below the povery line, Politicans even now use force, divide people by religion and try to remain in power.Is it democracy. Even today 60 % turnout of people who turnout for voting belong to the lower strata of the society. When I take food, I certainly feel that no justice has been done. Millions of children cannot get two time food, cannot go school. Do we call it successful democracy. Adding fuel to the fire, the complete media does not give this a thought. They are interested in projecting ladies with half clothes . Their main purpose is to sell.
Everyone wants to sell his material. They want to earn money. Never think what is happening to the poor in the county. Sometimes, I think
why did we get Independence. Are we really fit for the same. Every person be it politician, police, lawyers, judges etc they want to make money even on dead bodies. All this we call as the most successful democracy. Rich becomes richer and poor goes under the ground and we say we have achieved many things.
This country has been ruled by Lord Rama for ten thousand years and this country will not perish so fast. Had the Great Gandhiji would have been alive, he would have wondered why did
he fight for the freedom.
