Do India need full democracy?

Surprised to see 807 comments. It is not possible to read them all. The first question: do we need a farce called election? In my constituency there were two main parties for MP seat. One candidate was having 17 police cases and other 23 against him. Whom to vote? This is about our democracy. The other point is: History has shown again and again that country like ours can move economically up only with controlled democracy. This can be in form of one party rule. China is having 4 times per capita income as compared to India. This has not come free. One need to have discipline and become a cohesive force. This may mean sacrifice of some liberties! Whatever needed to be done to make India a cohesive force, needs to be done. Let it be authoritarian rule. In fact country like ours cannot progress without disciplined democracy. One may call it authoritarian rule. Election in India is simply fooling the people by alternate political parties!!!!! Where we stand after 70 years of full democracy? For India this is the only way. All others are talk of intelligent people fooling masses. Who need election except those politicians?
