Democracy- the rule of the people, rule by the people, rule for the people..
Abraham Lincoln outlined it as the Government of the people, by the people, for the people.
But in case of India which is the largest democracy of the world, the statement still seems unrealistic.
In spite of having largest democracy, the country is not able to realise it's true essence.
We enjoy popular sovereignty i.e where people rule and is in authority. But here it's just for namesake, because the people have to choose best from worsts (the representatives). Because no righteous man or party come into this arena, to serve the people. Despite of having so many criminal charges the persons are allowed to contest elections and such persons end up sitting in Parliament.
The candidates and political parties don't have any intention to work for the welfare of citizens and solely want power.
No honest and principled man is seen as a representative. And if someone tries to be he/she is driven off.
The people are cheated by those leaders.
Those leaders influence people votes in their favour by illegal means and manipulation.
However, only after every five years they remember the citizens and do tempting and inviting promises to get power, which are never fulfilled.
The main reason behind this is the country's low literacy rate. People aren't aware about their rights and duties, and the Constitution.
Villages are underdeveloped with kuchha roads, lack of teachers in schools, no electricity, kilometres away secondary schools, colleges and hospitals.
Even though spending crores of money by the government, the dream for a better rural life is beyond the bounds of possibility.
Other factors like poverty, overpopulation and the most terrific one i.e Corruption, is leading to malfunctioning of Democracy.
Governments have come and went, and the country is celebrating more than 70 years of its independence but the people are still not free from the chains of poverty and other loopholes.
Pre independence foreigners were ruling this sacred land and today it's own selfish minds. Same story repeats just people have changed their lifestyle.
Democracy was established to give every Indian it's rights and opportunities.
But it's restricted to handful of people having guileful mind.
Large-scale of people even today are under the bound of those in power, being helpless.
