Democracy is by the people, for the people and to the people.
Indian democracy is by the people for sure.. although we still have space to improve, there are very few people who understand how to vote. We are still voting criminals is prime examples.
For the people. 2 out of 10... it is for the industrialist and is very selfish.
Things will change, it takes time, when elected representative realize that they will be voted out if they do not perform then you will see real democracy.
Look even today a person can be a prime ministerial candidate purely because he was born in a family.
He does not even have qualification to debate on key issues in parliament. Even today he thinks that way to become prime minster is not by good policies but vote bank politics.
I have lot to say, but will stop here.
Our democracy has lot to improve and accepting it will not harm.
Buddy, you are smarter than many indian!! But I also want to add more to your comment!!
You had been democratic since your independence inherited from British? more than 60 years pass, But why there are still much corruption and so poor in your country, NK( I don't like SK, Just as a example) also are a democratic country, they are independent later, But they are much richer than you? Do you have think whether your indin-style democracy have problem itself? And you sociality also have many problem? It is not only your government problem and your people problem, But also your sociality problem, your social system, and other relevant domain that i don't know!!!
Don't give too much expectation on sole democracy, it is important part to develop, but not all!! When you mock chinese communism, First think about your state quo firstly!!
Big boat are more stable and can go far, But big boat also cannot change direction easily, If you want, You it is slower than small boat!!
Be realistic, Many indian think chinese are all brainwashed by GOEV, Maybe, chinese know our problem, But our mind is different with yours. Yes, we are not democratic like many western country, We all know that, We just think that, economy first, then we will change the our democratic situation slowly when our economy change encough, Just be patient and do action, No national stability, anything are luxury!!!
