do we really think that our democracy deserves third position. yes, i m proud to be in democratic country but then also i m not unaware of the internal situations.Every politician is just looking for there own benefit, no body cares for the common man.

Two and a half centuries before, the same thing was discussed by Lord Budha and the 24th Tirthankar Mahavir Jain when they met in a Parva - It is what they agreed to: "Are not all emperors equal to the 'moth' living only for their own lives. Now, spiritually speaking, even if you go to the age of Vedas, you shall find that we are born democrafts. Vedas say: O MUNUSHYOS, CHOSE YOUR KING, SAMANTAS, MILITARY COMMANDERS only those who are valient, braves, good fighters, promise to bring riches to the people, take care of the best of the poors etc etc." You ref. to the Greek philosophers who brought in ideas of democracy and other forms of govt. to the European countries. You will realise the flaws and short comings of democracies. The worst thing is 'corruption' for which the govt. is collectively responsible but here they hide the short comings of their corrupt colleagues and save themselves and the fall of govt. What they promise, they never fulfill. Now, again, the elections are coming and all the parties are well conscious of doing any thing which may not spoil their chances of winning the elections. Every party is preparing for the political fight and mud slinging on others and trying to find out the biggest short coming of the other party(s). So, You, me and all others have to silently watch what way they take to us - to flourish or to parish. God says, you grumble that you can not see me, foolish, if you are not seeing me then to whom are you seeing with these two ey

In my opinion democracy is a lessor evil compared to other forms of governement like monorchy,tyranny,dictatorship etc.The only problem is democracy will succeed if it is ruled by an intellectual minority. For this to happen public at large need to be well educated and aware of the shortfalls of the system.But as long as the public is divided on caste lines & ethnic groups democratic form of government will be mockery.So the solution to this lies with the public only. and afterall people get the govt.,they deserve.
