Is Backwardness consequence of our Political System or its other way round
Backwardness of our country is not totally the consequence of our political system after all we get the political environment as we are. Our leaders come from us only so to blame politician is easiest methodology we have adopted for.
After the dawn of independence the economic and growth of our country was the major issue for our country and after the globalization it was a major concern. But at that time we have not at the survival position.
If we talk about the last two decades The system of coalition government especially has initiated a new tactics of saving the government rather than reviving the country. India has enough potential to grow but its leaders have even bigger bellies than that. Our political system dilutes the accountability and parties blame each other for any mis governance. But at the same time I would like to point out that the mindset and awareness of citizens also play a significant role in any country’s growth. In India most of the people treat themselves as just a statistics on a census chart and keep blaming politician for every small issue. They must understand their importance. I believe ctive and justified use of the political right given to citizens can improve country’s growth.
We can’t just blame the political system. We can see the present situation of voters who have no choice to elect better among the candidates for their constituency. Certain reforms should be brought such that the candidate stood for election shouldn’t have at-least a single case filed against him and investigating agencies like CBI should be given autonomous power as against under control under government. We can see many CBI cases haven’t been solved yet due to peer political pressure under the vested interests of the leaders. So we have to wake up and strive to take up an oath to remove corruption at the root level and thus ensuring the development of the country.
Our politics is not corrupt but who leads they are corrupt. Politics is a weapon that we can fight to corruption. Because if you are in politics so you are free their, only you have to give a command not request. So my point is if your honest and faith full and have the quality to lead the nation so from that place you can do it very well because our nation want to best and honest leader who can lead to our country.
A system is as good as the people manning the system. The people manning a system are as good as the principles a society holds dear. If the public holds dear to their hearts TRUTH and good values as much as Mahatma Gandhi did then our nation would not have faced separation and then wars and the politics would have run keeping the dirt out.
And the conclusion arises from all of that we can not just blame our politics or politician but a normal citizen can understand their responsibility towards our nation to build it corruption free, developed and try to move it to a new path of success.

Today there is no fire in all our minds. Read history. Freedom need to be achieved, it does not come begging as a gift to a beggar. That is we are, beggars. We got freedom not fighting but begging. So we do not understand its value. (Read Attlee’s remark on why they left India-it is not for Gandhi’s Non Violance-INA and 1946 Arm revolution by Indian Navy and Army compelled them to quit- go deeper into the truth) Unless you sweat you do not feel its value. French Revolution, German Revolution, Russian Revolution, American (We are all eager to follow them and settled there as if there lies our salvation) war for independence all tells the same story. Unless you shed your blood, feel the pain and struggle for earning you do not value it. To us freedom is a type of luxury to have, money, fun, life style, copy european and american systems, – who cares for others? Hundreds of youth in the street remains onlookers when a girl is molested, when one is robbed or cheated. Let me not get involved is the theme, it is others problem. But when it affects you then why should you shout and cry for help! why can not you defend yourself because you are weak in mind. Because all of us are corrupt- physically, mentally and morally! ask yourself. If we fight together, march together, sleep together, eat the same food as a disciplined army then only we can stop these vandalism.
I have seen Germans, French, Britishers, Chinese, how bold and fearless they are. They will never allow their administrators to do whatever they like. Because they have earned their freedom and livlihood. The never begged it. So do not lament on the street. We still liked to serve and be led by foreigners-Example Sonia Gandhi. Have you ever seen a Prime Minister of any country who can not stand erect and talk with a forceful voice ? If the foundation of freedom is on deception, the country and people will decieve each other-it is universal truth. To get real freedom we need to fight and that we are afraid of. Because each one of us do not like to sacrifice our comfort! let others go to hell!
We forget that we are all Indians.
There shall be one single constitution and rule for everyone; -no minority, Sc/St/OBC etc, Education on one footing, no haves and have not’s – !
Thanks to my countrymen, I am now old but fire burns in me because I have lost my land in Bangladesh, you people have not. So do not just go on giving lip service and meaningless argument. Better keep quiet unless you can do something positive. !
We forget that we are all Indians. There shall be one single constitution and rule for everyone; -no minority, Sc/St/OBC etc, Education on one footing, no haves and have not’s -.
It is high time that country show all these corrupt genes to show the exit door- irrespective of any party or person in the arena !
Our political system only spoiling our county development. The person who having money and popularity they only become a political leader in our county. The knowledge person and well educated persons are mostly avoiding this type of leadership. With the aim of money only the political leaders roaming in our county no one having the mentality to service to people and nation. In my view all politicians are making the peoples fool only.
Hello everyone.
Yes I surly agree with that statement “Our politics system is reason for backwardness”. Because If any country is said to be developed means all the people in that country have to be like that, not only the some members. But in our country we have lot of resources, talented people, but we are still at the stage of developing country. For that one of the main reason is our corrupted politics. Why because many of our politicians come to the politics by thinking it as business. First of all they spend lot of money on elections time, after come to their respected positions they start collect those money with compound interest. Frankly speaking it our present politics.
But we are not saying that it is the only mistake of politicians, it the main mistake of voters who vote for them, and doing them like that. First of all the mind set of the voter should be change, and they have to know about each and every person who are nominated for that particular post and give their valuable vote to the person who really do their best. Then only we can change our politics and surly India became developed country.
Surely I can tell political system is also a main reason for India to be in still developing nation. Now we are adopting capitalism. It will not works for the people welfare. It works only for Indian economy. A individual can hold the property. Hence there has been excess amount of money among politicians. If we follow socialism, the private property will be demolished. As jawaharlal nehru rightly said, India will be a communist country on 2030.
In our india, every policy contents in constitution and every law written in law books for keep it in racks. My frieds, we could not blaim on others. Because, good Society starts from good people. Are you sure, we are against the bribe/corruption. How many people are saying like that. My self no. In modern India, people need fulfill things quickly. To out come the circumstances, people don’t have the time to wait till the time. We just offering the bribes to Babus/officers to complete our work quickly. Though this exercise, spoil our society ourselves. One more example, government make a law for wearing helmets for two wheeler for their safety? More than 50% of the riders were not wearing the helmets. When cops are sudden caught, most of the people offering the bribe instead of fine. Tell me friends, if they were wear the helmets, cops never asking to show the required documents to ride two wheeler.
In the streamlines, I saw one political exercise. Politicians were offering the one group of the people to vote him @ Rs 500/-. Voters are accepting and using for domestic purposes. My friends, if a politician has spent 100 crores for elections. What will happens think? definitely he try gain more than he expend. What happens, the Rs 500/- = we lose infrastructure, medical facilities, education etc, .
If our idea of a good life or a fair life anyway, for everyone, is to respect, love and serve each other and meet our needs in a sustainable way, then this system (democracy and the monetary system) will never be able to do that since it was only designed to meet the needs of a few and ultra rich. Our problems are real and the methods currently used are unsustainable, irrelevant and obsolete. Never agree with the status quo, always question and proactively seek for solving problems just as God intended us to.
Two more points i want to add my first point, is “are we asking from our soul regarding participation in anti corruption activity?” This is not a matter to speak inside, this is the matter to come up with practical thing. If we are talking about to choose a perfect leader, then our responsibility to aware those voters who don’t know who is good and who is bad, who don’t know who is educated and who is illiterate. Because each vote is important to elect the candidate. Now a days leaders are most depend on illiterate com, because they don’t ask more question, they are not having more argument. So this is our responsibility to awake them without any interest.
Point no. 2 – are we honest at our level? If such type of question will come in each and every individual’s mind and they act upon it too, definitely INDIA will become Developed country. Just I want to share one example of Russian Naval Officer his rank was Captain 1st rank (Equivalent to Commodore in Indian navy) who was our instructor. He was not having any assistant to work, he was doing each and every work by his own. He was even not going for his personnel work during his class time. He was punctual and perfect in his duties without any ego. In other side one casual worker of Russia who has given some work, there is no need for supervision, they are working by there own and inform the concern person on completion. But in case of India, Is it there? Finally, when each and every individual will know there role for the society including higher and lower level person. There is no doubt we will be the leading country of the world.
So friends, we have change ourselves first. Then we can change our society.
I think it is always important to see the core of the situation before analyzing the surface of it. Sounds simple enough but guess what, our society and in fact every society in this world is subjected to the wrong way of handling the needs of the population.
The reason is simple. The idea of Democracy is fundamentally flawed. If everyone is supposed to have rights in terms of freedom of speech, liberal choices and equality in all aspects then why does only ever the majority decide who is elected and consequently how the county is ran? remember, it’s for everyone. So the idea is inherently wrong, along with the monetary system but that’s another topic, and trying to fix a system that wasn’t designed to meet the basic requirements of a common man is like trying to look for apples on an orange tree.
It doesn’t matter how good of a politician you elect, even if he or she was the best ever and tried to meet everyone’s need, there will always be scarcity of resources for a lot of people and conflict of interests.
That is because politicians are by nature control freaks and not problem solvers. Yet we the common people believe that some day someone will do better or solve this matter in an already flawed system.
If our idea of a good life or a fair life anyway, for everyone, is to respect, love and serve each other and meet our needs in a sustainable way, then this system (democracy and the monetary system) will never be able to do that since it was only designed to meet the needs of a few and ultra rich. Our problems are real and the methods currently used are unsustainable, irrelevant and obsolete. Never agree with the status quo, always question and proactively seek for solving problems just as God intended us to
No, I don’t think that our political system is responsible for the backwardness of our country. According to me they are our leaders in the political system responsible for it. And they are in the system because of us. When we live in a democratic country, where we have the right to choose the correct candidate then why we don’t go for it. It is our duty to put the right person in the system so as to make our political system the backbone of country rather then the reason for backwardness.
Backwardness calls for the unaware and ignorant status of mind and mentality that mostly Indian citizens are possessing now-a-days.
The politicians are smart enough to blow the party hard round their vote banks’ necessities and win the elections. What people fail to recognize, is their other face; of course it’s the other way round the table. The political system prevailing in Indian sub-continent is a multi-party one. This is the major reason for the crippled state of our society in the current scenario.
We are just concerned about the elections and moreover voting but not about the long term consequences of electing and investing powers in the wrong person.
This leads and results into backwardness!
i am feeling very bad to say that India is still a backward country. i agree that our political system is not strong enough to handle the situations but we being the citizen of country have some responsibilities towards our country. we very easily talk about our rights but we never care for our responsibilities. the shameful act done in Delhi was not done by any of the politician but it was done by one among those who daily sit and talk about the system. how could government stop it it?? our ministers can not go with each girl to protect them. it is the responsibility of each and every citizen of the country to respect others. WE SAY THAT OUR MINISTERS TAKE BRIBE.. BUT WILL ANYBODY TELL ME WHO BRIBES THEM??? we!!!! so??? who is responsible for that?? if a child is not getting education in good college , parents would very easily bribe the college management and everything will be alright. no politician is in scene here.
SO POLITICIANS ARE NOT SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR BACKWARDNESS. Dear friends only we can protect our country.. so stop blaming others and improve yourself…
I would like to say that backwardness is very disastrous for Indian society. Since, we are having a lot of problem with backwardness since it is getting very dull for a society. So, we should literate people with a lot of efforts. Only literacy is the only key towards this problem . It can root out this problem.
As we know we can’t blame completely.
. We can see the present situation of voters who have no choice to elect better among the candidates for their constituency. Certain reforms should be brought such that the candidate stood for election shouldn’t have at-least a single case filed against him and investigating agencies like CBI should be given autonomous power as against under control under government. We can see many CBI cases haven’t been solved yet due to peer political pressure under the vested interests of the leaders. So, we can onl;y govern people with literacy…
In todays scenario , backwardness is seen in both the Politicians as well as the Voters.To blame only the Politicians is not right as if they revive the topics like Ayothya then we are the one supporting them.
If the politician are seeding the seeds of discriminations, then we are the one harvesting it. So,we all should do our bit to remove this mentality and stop the attitude of ‘Chalta hai’.
We have right to vote and we must know its power,we should choose the person as a leader who think for common benefit not for an particular community.
Moreover, we should remember that religion are meant for Human ,Humans are not meant for the religion.
we must stand on a common beneficent motive rather than an Narrow one.
If we talk about the last two decades The system of coalition government especially has initiated a new tactics of saving the government rather than reviving the country. India has enough potential to grow but its leaders have even bigger bellies than that. Our political system dilutes the accountability and parties blame each other for any mis governance. But at the same time I would like to point out that the mindset and awareness of citizens also play a significant role in any country’s growth. In India most of the people treat themselves as just a statistics on a census chart and keep blaming politician for every small issue. They must understand their importance. I believe ctive
I dont think its really our political system responsible for it..Its something like a bad guy is giving a way for more bad guys..We are ready to give five rs. as a bribe instead of buying a six or seven rs. ticket. we never want to pay our taxes. Even we never asks for bills to save some sales tax. Public has power..Its the fact..So Backwardness of people is the only reason which is why the political system is so degraded…
I think, if one is not aware or remains backward then he can’t have proper information or may lack in his knowledge about the person he is voting then he may cast a wrong person.This casting is neither benificial nor good for society.A Politician gets his Seat because of votes, votes are given by us, the Indian Citizens,the country people.On other hand “a well aware citizen” will vote for the right person, or in some case will himself stand for the responsibility to take the charge in his own hands as “AAM ADMI PARTY”.
Thus, the system will work efficiently and give an exponential rise to the country’s growth.
I believe that backwardness is a result of illteracy. if people are literate than they have the capabilities of changing anything their present and accordingly their future.
People are getting such oppurtunities but they are unaware of this.
those who are aware think that it is of no use.
If we want that the people change their situation so it is the people who need to change their minds.Because politiucians are mere representation of individual tne whole power resides with the individuals who can change their present scenerio and bring flying colours to your life.
hence, i believe that literacy can change anything,the present scenerio of an individual and can bring upliftment in the lives of individual.
i think Backwardness of our country is not totally the consequence of our political system.somewhere we are also responsible for this. if we are not support the politician so how can they develop the country. development is not depend on one people or 100 people it depends on whole country people.if we all of them are put our efforts then we can say that we are living in developed country.
No I don’t think…the backwardness of the country is the consequence of the degraded political system.I suggest some points in order to prove my view..
1)As India is a democratic country we the people are electing the candidates in the system. We should be aware while choosing our ruler. We should go through the candidate entire record before giving our precious vote to him.
2) Secondly I feel education and illiteracy also responsible for the backwardness of a developing country like India. 60% of people are not educated they cant think good and bad of their own then how they can judge the person. These people left with only one option to go with the crowd and rely on politicians whosoever is elected.
3) Thirdly i feel Yes politicians are corrupted but corruption is not only in political System its in every system whether small or big
So guys be aware, be educated and then only we can grow.
THANK YOU!!…..
Yes.. I think that Backwardness is the consequence of the degraded political scenario.Not the other way round…. Its something like a bad guy is giving a way for more bad guys, dirt producing more and more dirt from itself…Its not that all ministers are uneducated..Many of them are educated enough but are they doing their job honestly???..A big NO… Can the poor and uneducated will solve the purpose…Probabilities are not good ….So it is not about the politicians…Its the public who is the cause… Backwardness and unwise decisions of people are the cause… Public has power..Its the fact..So Backwardness of people is the only reason which is why the political system is so degraded…
its just like shifting blame from our head to others. Have we ever tried to analys ourselves . We are the people who are ready to pay bribes to get our works done faster. We are ready to give five rs. as a bribe instead of buying a six or seven rs. ticket. we never want to pay our taxes. Even we never asks for bills to save some sales tax.
We are actually increasing the black money by contributing to it the most.
Much disgusting is that we know everything but still we dont take any steps to prevent it. then how could we blame our government for the backwardness when we ,ourselves, dont want to prevent it
Well nothing is PERFECT in this world, neither the POLITICAL SYSTEM nor the PEOPLE. now inspite of blaming the political system or other people one should come forward to initiate the change that he/she wanted to see by bring the changes in himself/herself. The backwardness is due to us only until we will not take the initiative to remove the discrepancies present in our system.
Inefficiency of political system is the major factor of backwardness but it is not the only reason. Somehow, we are also responsible for it . There is no doubt about the inefficiency of the political system and how they play with our constitution. They mold and play with laws to suit themselves. If politicians get time from filling their own pockets then only they will focus on the development of the society . But in actually there is only 40% development is done.
If individuals in the government sectors perform their tasks effectively, honestly and with responsibility, it will definitely have a major impact on the development of country.
We are responsible , because we choose our leader and we are not active for development of India as much we have to do.
Now the conclusion arises from all of that we can not just blame our politics or politician but a normal citizen can understand their responsibility towards our nation to build it corruption free, developed and try to move it to a new path of success.
Obviously Politics is the reason for backwardness in our country, it is not the other way round. People in this country are fed up of all the corruption and vote bank system of our politicians. The states like Gujarat and Delhi are developing at the highest rate and the most believable reason for this development is renound politicians like Narendra Modi and Shiela Dixit. On the other hand states like Rajasthan is not doing well because of above average work done by Ashok Gehlot.
The state of backwardness in our country is inversely proportional to the work done by our politicians and our system too is not in favour of our development as there are many loopholes which are responsible for the advantage taken by our politicians, this makes our country vulnerable to the politicians.
Our constitution should be written by taking into consideration many things which will help the removal of backwardness and development of our country.
