Is democracy in India is failing?

yes respected sir, as i see india a divine land of the whole world its democracy is being killed by the political parties and even the people who sits in its administration.... its not the matter that the name and fame of democracy prevails only in speech and examples....... still democracy should be a factor which helps a commom man to attain his own needs from whoever the highest level of ministry he faces.... but to my perception this was never achieved ...... stilllllll this discussion is the major key point to the media and film makers to survive in thier field ...... Hence democracy is a dream and not a reality......which i longs to see in every day of incident.........

Mr Jain,

The democracy that is being practiced is worse than feudal society or colonialism. In a typical feudal society the leader ensured survival and good health of all workers as he required their services on a continued basis and in a way was dependent for their respective set of activity, knowhow and skill. 

In colonial rule you were aware, it is an outsider, who has invaded to take advantage of your resources and that brought forth initiates to forever making efforts to free oneself, and hope for betterment.

Whereas in present scenario people amongst us, entrusted and duly paid for to take care of resources begin to lord over you, loot country's resources and take decisions for selfish interests at the cost of majority safety and security, surely is not a sustainable form of democracy. If 10 percent people loot away all the belongings leaving the 90 percent  to pay for through successive generations there surely are serious flaws that require immediate attention and correction.

And that is the reason every decision being taken ought thoroughly be thought after in best interests of majority and in long term benefits of majority.

Simply theoretical explanation of democracy may be excellent it is its application in biggest democracy that will go on to define how good it is. 

Dear Dhananjay ji

If corruption is unchecked by people entrusted to do so it is a failure.

Hope you agree

AM AWARE OF 'SEVERAL CASES WHERE PERSONS DULY REGISTERED IN POSSESSION OF VALID ELECTORAL CARD ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CAST THEIR VOTE SIMPLY BECAUSE SOMEONE DELETED THEIR NAMES FROM ELECTORAL LIST'- willfully or erroneously.

Such incidents are rampant whence the electoral card is not of any value. 

Surprisingly there is no devised means or method of correction to enable participate in given election.

The person/s responsible for creating above situation are immune of any action and answerability.

Never ever are any elections termed void for non-participation of above mentioned voters.

Where would you see democracy at work in mentioned instances.

When selfish or self serving deeds of a few are allowed to prevail over aspirations of millions by design, falsification and sustained ground rules sans getting challenged ----- it surely can not be called democracy.

I have also same views regarding this.

Good Debate. Our democracy is big in the world because of population not by quality.(Quality is only on papers. Our constitution is great in the world) but its implementation is not proper. After more than 60 years of independence still, the basic infrastructure is the demand from public. Most of educated peoples are avoiding the polls. In politics there is less chance for good people. Present condition is not worst but if we don’t make any reforms in election process and control over Gundaraj in politics, we may lose democracy in the country. It is everyone responsibility to protect our democracy for citizens, politicians. People have to think about the Govt work and then vote. Do not vote taking any bribe/Gift/Money. Vote only for good people.

Most cases, we are truely need to say " YES". the majority of the poll and parties are making us fools, literarly. The revolution is the only way to get out of this. The proper education and self awareness is the only way to get to that.

We can stop this if we vote for right type of people and if political parties are not chosing a good candidate select and and make your own candidate to stand for elecetion. More than any thing educate your children properly teach them moral values and ethics. Elected representatives are your servants and not bosses only you can control them, it is your right. It is your right and duty to control a person representing you. He is not your boss. He cannot be controled by his party bosses.
