Democracy without discipline is meaningless.
Democracy without discipline is meaningless indeed. No other country than India is the most conspicuous model of failed democracy. Our great, self-effacing freedom fighters laid their body, soul and mind to the cause of the emancipation of the motherland so that the coming posterity might live in an ideally democratic country. However, all their sacrifices seem to have gone vain.
In spite of 70 years of independence, we are a struggling democracy. Nowhere in the world are democratic values mocked as here in our country. The Government, a body of represented leaders and ministers, who are responsible for the smooth functioning of the political, economic, developmental processes of all the areas are highly corrupt and inefficient. There is perfect lawlessness and disorder everywhere related to the Government or run by the Government at center and state levels.
Political corruption is worst in India. The major cause of concern is that corruption is weakening the political body and damaging the supreme importance of the law governing the society. In the past few decades there was every conceivable scam and scandals in all key ministries. These cams and scandals tarnished the image of the country nationally as well as internationally. There were so many scams that people lost complete trust in the government. Indian Coal Allocation Scam, 2G Spectrum Scam, Commonwealth Games Scam, Telgi Scam, Satyam Scam, Bofors Scam, the Fodder Scam, etc, are some of the many scams that were done by elected ministers, politicians, bureaucrats, and high government officials. The Indian Law system is so incompetent and vulnerable, that in spite of being guilty, politicians, bureaucrats, high government officials remain scot-free.
Democratic values such social, political, economic equality, tolerance, secularism, liberty, freedom exist in constitutions only. On the other hand, our neighbouring country China, a non-democratic country has been able to successfully take the nation ahead in many spheres. Is it because the Government there does not allow taking anything for granted?
Other democracies such as Japanese, South Korean, and American are far more advanced than the Indian democracy! What is the reason behind their success and our failure? The one answer to all the questions is DISCIPLINE. Neither our Government is disciplined nor are our people! They are undisciplined in everything they do! As a result there is glaring disorder. Broken roads, piled up files of pending work, population, low economic growth, technological backwardness, corruption, insecure borders with the hostile neighbouring countries, and poor work ethics are the results of being UNDISCIPLINED.
