Do India need full democracy?

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?

Acute water shortage in India...No solition in sight....except ...

This is real simple explanation and offered solution. A very weak article looking to the grave problem. Nobody is talking on a permanent solution. This year 25 % of people are facing acute shortage of water. After 5 years 50% of people shall face water shortage and in next 10 years we shall have water war. This can turn in to class war or religion war. Let people understand this grave situation. The only long term solution is to stabilize population immediately and join all rivers to take water from one place to other. We shall not be able do this as Indians are busy talking caste, creed and religion. We talk of freedom and freedom only with no responsibility. On top of this no one is willing to take pain of authoritarian rule that can take fast decision. We Indians, fear for everything. A little change shake all of us and we start talking negatively. However Modi try to make this country progress, it shall hardly solve any significant problem. We shall have to go for one child policy if we as India want to survive.

We need at least authoritarian rule, if not emergency.
