Only non-religious, non-ethnic, non-language, non-racial parties must be permitted as in America eg. Democrats, Republicans, Green Party, else Democracy will tear itself apart as in Germany in 1933 under Adolf Hitler (who was democratically elected) due to his Nazi divisive policies.
For a stable & viable democracy Political parties that encourage votes by offering benefits to specific ethnic, language, religious & racial groups must be prohibited immediately. Democracy is as dangerous as dictatorship if not implemented properly.
Be GENUINELY secular like America - have the same laws and benefits for all Religions.

Adolf Hitler was the pioneer of using communal divides & votebanks to win democratic elections with disastrous results for the entire world with 52 million people killed (the greatest loss of life in a war) in WWII which he caused. Hitler did not seize power, he was democratically elected.

yes the US has been through many divisive periods(Civil War, KKK are just a few) and have emerged unscathed and united. We certainly need to learn some stuff about democracy from US. However Indians just want the lifestyle that is enjoyed by rich US guys, they dont want the responsibility that ensures that makes a US a functioning democracy. But every developing country goes through bad phases and many fall by the wayside, lets just hope India does'nt to.
