Democracy or....???
Democracy is supposedly For The People, By The People, Of The People. In India it is For Few People, By Few People and with Few People. If not how would one justify the wealth distribution in India? Few individuals holding the major chunk of wealth and majority living in poverty?
If Democracy is equality of justice, is there really equality of it? Rapists are let out on bail. Not just let out but even felicitated and welcomed with garlands when coming out of jail. At the same time thousands or more languishing in jail with no justice. Recently a man served prison time of 10.years and was acquitted, for a cartoon forward of a minister in India. That's besides the point many look like cartoons. Then are cases which goes on for decades and cases of the rich which get cleared as smooth as how one clears out after making a purchase from a supermarket. Does justice come with a price tag, which only the rich can buy?
By the People means People decide who will run the country with elections. The ones that then get elected don't run the country, they start ruling it and ruining it. Ruling and dictating what one can eat and cannot eat, what language should be spoken, what salutation should be said when you address the nation, finding which religious God structure was prevalent over which another religious God structure was built.
Ending up with people still going hungry, forget what language one can speak or should speak but frightened to speak. One cannot speak against the system as can be imprisoned or slapped with sedition. How good is addressing the nation with respect, when there is no respect for its citizens. Public Transport is worse than what cattle gets transported, and how do the ones we elect travel? Not just how they travel, but a city can be brought to standstill when they visit another state and even businesses told to leave their staff early as roads and public transport would be shut on the routes our elected rulers would be travelling. Irony is giving respect for a religious God structure by demolishing another religious God structure built over it. At the same time illegal structures of slums and even elite residential towers are built. So God structure is to appease a majority religion for votes and illegal slums are for vote banks.
Freedom of press is gagged by the media houses getting purchased by Business Tycoons who are oriented to the ruling party. So nothing negative would be aired by these media houses against the ruling party or Business Entities that has purchased these media house. To the extent one of the alleged biggest scams of Indian history is exposed by a foreign media company. Even politicians of opposition get purchased. How different is it from the flesh trade?
Is this democracy or democrazy? Where a country is ruined by a crazy few or we as a nation crazy to elect these few?

So true. The people of India as a collective consciousness have to revaluate whom they are voting for . But, good people shy away from taking a stand , leave alone politics. Corruption exists world over and scams far worse have occurred abroad. However checks and balances system does not allow them to escape.
Our entire system is becoming corrupt , Common man has no say ! Banks are getting looted and the culprits are let free …..
The Gov is not giving any support to senior citizens whose entire lifesavings were kept in the licensed bank which gets looted ….. The amalgamation schemes they introduce for the mergers is further killing the common people and the senior citizens it is only benefitting the Gov and the banks which takes over the looted bank ! The leaders who promised the common people for their full money back have now taken a U turn !

This subversion of our Democracy can only be prevented by every concerned citizen being vigilant, speaking up against injustice, abuse of power, corruption and misgovernance. Now is the time to do away with selfishness, self-centredness and apathy. Enough is enough !!

A well written expose on the sad situation in India. There are also many other countries where democracy is dying. This is horrific news.

Yes, I fully agree with the author. Since 23.5.2019 (when elections results were declared our Country has stepped into an era of Dictatorship. Whats more saddening is that a majority of citizens have a blindfold on their eyes - they see and believe only the lies dished out by the "Chowkidar" and are blind to the gross misgovernance and weakening of our Nation.
Today I realised the true meaning of Rajneesh's words - "Religion is the opium of the masses".
This opium of frenzy of inauguration of a temple has made the common citizens forget the gross mis-governance, the weakening of autonomous institutions, dilution of citizen-empowering laws, facilitation of deposition of unaccounted money into political parties' accounts vide "Electoral Bonds", and opaque "PM Cares Fund", selling off our Country's assets to Corporates, bankrupting RBI, waving off thousands of Crores of loans to super-rich Corporates, aiding and abetting scamsters like Mallya, Nirav Modi and scores of others, destruction of our forests to facilitate mining by PM's friends, snatching away tribals' lands, squeezing the farmers to aid Adani, amending the law to facilitate appointing of PM's own blue-eyed boy as Election Commissioner etc etc.
May God bless my Country !

EVERY THING WRITTEN IS SO TRUE.
JUST GIVING A THOUGHT.
IN WHAT TIMES ARE WE LIVING.
WHAT LEGACY ARE WE LEAVING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
NEVER THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN OUR DEAR COUNTRY.
