Why do people of India not embracing the change in politics as in USA?

Confirmity to group think is the way all societies organize themselves. We Indians are no exception to that. But, it is advised by Social Scientists that societies that embrace non-confirmity prospers and endears longer. That is if you find someone with a different attitude or custom, we generaly ignore him or we may try to change him into our way of thinking, the same with politics here. What we don't understand is that what was going on post independence had not been politics but something that has no general explanation or if there is some then it is not printable. Politics is a science and we seem to be or we are told following a Democratic process. But, when we were given independence our leaders chose to divide people into rich adn poor category, the basis of which was not wealth but etnic orignin, where as Democracy stipulates, equality, liberty and fraternity. If we feel our politics is good despite such errors then we are a rigid society, with confirmity to group norms a sad affair for civilized people to consume.

Change can be tough for many people & hard for some to implement. When some people are so used to & accepting of the same old things or the same way of life,then making change be a slow process. With so many politics involved, sometimes change never happens for years & years. Then you have times where many people want to embrace change & make it happen then they have to go against the ones who don't want change. Depending on the situation, making change & embracing change can be good.

bcj people are here scared of changes..in n e thing not only in politics..they jst accept everything wid pressure..if u give them a chance to think n then change ..most of them would not like to even think..people are here like to walk on the same old way..n if we talk about politics people here dnt take politics seriously..they jst want to use politics n politicians for their personal use like for the rate of vegetables, for religion or their groups, for their casts..they dnt think that politics is to develop whole country..

Which change are you talking about?

Do you mean that India which has seen prime minister of all regions, cast, colour, background and gender should become like USA where its the first time that a balck skinned is head of state? where a woman is still to be selected as president?

 or do you mean that USA where in an independent, developed and educated society the balcks have recently started sharing buses with whites? and ridiculously the racism was followed by law!?.

The main cause is literacy Durga, and this is causing all the problems, even today one can buy votes from the voters very easily, still many people don't know the importance of their vote, elections still rule in favour of religion than merit of the candidate here, until that happens embracing change is very difficult......

High level leteracy and reacism is major couse

In US, politics is well regulated and transparent.  Literacy level is high and individuals can communicate to the masses well.  This means that there actions are always under public scrutiny.

India, although is a democracy like US, suffers from illeteracy, low communication levels and need for large money to be spent for elections.  For example, a MP constituency in Bangalore has 1.5 lakh bogus voters (bogus as also those who have moved out) and few people have the data.  They demand Rs.1200.00 per vote.  Whoever spends the money, he gets 1.5 lakh votes extra!

When many youngsters take up politics and communication systems improve, we may do better than US. 

Till then, I am happy the way our elections are conducted, given the limitations.  In fact, we (Our election commission of India) could outsource conduct of elections to other countries.  Throughout the year, we could earn billions of dollars (will it continue to be reserve currency?) through this export!!

More than anything we have to learn to ACCEPT CHANGE!

Now that in itself is a big ordeal for a country like ours because we are still people who believe in killing a COW sacrilege! We are people who still believe that culture and religion stand above all else. Emotions are wrought HIGH in our daily life! We cannot tear ourslves away from a situation and take a third eye view and think with a logical method. We cannot be cold and calculated!

I do not mean this negatively completely, but I feel that if we llok at things practically and then apply ourselves to adapt to the changes that seem fit to be accepted without human sentiment being hurt, JUST DO IT!

Simple and very clear that we are focusing just on saying we are not coming forward to work on it. We are still not coming up of Religions, Castism and so many obligations. And untill we are not coming up of these all mind sets, we will face this...
