A fake democracy
by Kumar on Jul 22, 2007 03:44 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Just because India holds elections every 5 years it doesn't qualifies to be a democracy. For a democracy, the politicians, judiciary and the police need to work for the common citizens. In India all these institutions work for the criminals or themselves.

When debate on giving freedom to INdia in the British parliament came in early 40s, Winston Churchill told "Indians still dont understand the real meaning of democrazy systema and Parliamentary functioning, it will take another 100 years for them to fully understand". These words are being proved 100% by our so called politicians. We(India) dont deserve to be a demoraczy/republic; what we need is a military rule or dictatorship rule to set the things in proper.

I agree India is a Pseudo-Democracy!. It has long way to go!. Our political and electoral system must go through lots of reforms before it can called a true democracy!.
