Indian democracy is a mockery

We need something else.

Politicians must not have executive powers. They must have executive powers only. It is enough if they make laws.

We need a strong judiciary. We need dedicated courts to try corrupt politicians, minsters and government officers.

correction ...

Politicians must not have executive powers (no ministerial powers), they must have legislative powers only.

Judiciary??? You know who the judiciary throws contempt of court charges when they are exposed. All our pillars in shambles. Our political system needs to be changed. Citizens should have the power to recall politicians at any time. We need to come out with a workable mechanism for that. I wouldn't mind frequent elections. At least the workers who put things together will benefit with elections rather than the politicians swindling when there is no election.

Dedicated courts to try corrupt politicians??? These dedicated courts would be no different from our regular courts. Nothing will come out of it. You know what happened to corrupt officials who where caught by Lok Ayukta. No proceeding; and on top of it they were also promoted.
