IS DEMOCRACY FAILING?

Is Democracy Failing?

One can notice in India, the rise in Regional parties since last three to four decades and failure of National parties to curtail the narrow tendencies of Caste bias and Regionalism and Religion bias. This leads to rise of several parties Whether Regional or New National parties. All this lead to casting votes in elections on bias, undue influence etc., but not franchising on fair principles of Democracy and not on real issues of importance to Nation and its common Citizens.

This leads to new tendencies in Politics of buying Voters with money, free bees etc. etc.,
But the most dangerous tendency now is that almost all parties are coming to a strategy of winning elections not on real issues but with undue influence and other undemocratic means. Most of the Election manifestoes are filled with Populist measures of free bees and doles to various vulnerable sections of the society to win the elections by hook and crook. This leads to a tendency of lesser means for real development or growth of the Nation. Most of the Government spending either Plan or Non plan is filled with these measures apart from essential expenses of running Governance (Salaries and Pensions).
In realistic terms most of the State Government Budgets are filled with these populist schemes and plans.

This is the high time all intellectuals raise to the occasion and raise their voice on all these retrograde tendencies which are harmful for Economic raise and Real & healthy growth in the Society. Other wise this leads to laziness and lethargy in common masses and unrest & lack of motivation in Middle classes and birth of new class of Upper echelons of society which is the real back bone of today’s unethical Political system. The side effects of above new trends in Indian Political system is already experienced in the Indian Society –
1. Shortage of Agricultural labour is noticed in the Rural India and 2. Reduced productivity in lower working class and 3. Raise in Taxes which impacts indirectly more on the poor and middle class. This leads to a tendency in masses for aspiring quick bucks without hard work and skill sets thereby next generations may become less motivated and less hard working and less creative, but to become rich with hook or crook.

To Cut these tendencies, a new set of restrictions on Government funding on these populist schemes and doles to vulnerable sections of the society should be laid down by capping a ceiling either in monitory terms or as a percentage of overall funds spend in a Government budget. The Election Commission & the Supreme Court shall lay down new set of principles on Election manifestoes of Political parties to curtail these undemocratic tendencies. more

Multi party system is not working in India. Most of the Governments in India working in the direction of No Opposition and No discussions in the Houses of Legislature/Parliament. One party show is happening. Then what is the Use of having Parliamentary Structure when is not giving the results enshrined by the Founders of our Constitution more  
Prime Objective of Opposition Party has been set aside Inevitably Because of they being involved in HOW BEST TO DEFAME DENY DEFY the Issues of Ruling Party .
The Parliament Sessions in 2017, '18, '19 as well as THE PUBLIC SPEACHES OF OPPOSITION PARTIES ON BILKS Proposed , Passed DO PROVE COGNIZANT. more  
Loopholes in Constitution are such that there is no Remedy Except Marshall Rule by Dedicated Indian Military EVEN if a DEDICATED Political Party is preferred, It should be with (1) Retired IAS IPS IFS IRS (2) Retired Teachers Lectures Professors (3) Retired NCC AND SCOUTS primarily being promoters. OTHERWISE IT IS NOT EASY TO FACE THE PRESENT POLITICAL STRUCTURE . more  
In-spite of having checks and balances in the Present System (Four Pillars of the Nation). Issue is the lack of commitment in taking the Country to Prosperity. Politicians are becoming Power mongrel and for that they are compromising on Real Issues of importance to the Nation and its Citizens. Narrow mindedness and Corruption has percolated from Top to the bottom of Indian Political System. No Discussions are happening on real issues. People are side tracked with emotional issues of less importance for the Healthy growth of this Nation and its well being. more  
EC being Authoritatively Responsible to the General Public continuously failing to DISQUALIFY CONVICTS AND those possess Criminal Cases/ Contempt of Court Cases .
Moving H'ble PRESIDENT or Supreme Court for consideration of Moral and Civic Standard of Contestant and Members' Honest Duty-bound Performance AS WELL AS ENFORCEMENT OF IPC on Offences Relating to Elections IS ONLY THE PERMANENT REMEDY. more  
This is the Right time, as the present Government is having sufficient political strength, an effort must be started either to alter the present type of Democracy or go for other better alternatives which is most suitable for this Country so that the Country will become a Super power in the world in terms of Living Standards, technology, and other bench marks. more  
Presidential Form of Democracy only Remedy since SC too not caring Article 19 ( 2 to 6 ) i.e , the General Public. 19 (1) is ever upheld by Apex Court leaving off the interests of General Public.
Even National Economy also is under Continued loot just because of deny of AADHAR LINKAGE , CASHLESS TRANSACTIONS.
All including SC witnessed the Misuse and Menace during Demonetisation process.
Present System Practice of Democracy in India is QUITE HARMFUL AS IS EVIDENT IN MANY ILLS AND EVILS. more  
If any party boasts that they are for India's good and do better for next generations, they should dare to take all necessary corrective actions which are required for making a healthy, wealthy India. India first, politics next tendancy has to be devoloped. more  
Still Opposition Parties ever Diverse, Brake, Destruct AS BEING WITNESSED IN PARLIAMENT AND OUTSIDE DURING LAST 3 and 1/2 Years. more
