Question

Write a debate for against the motion:- election are the best test of democracy.

Answer 1

Election are not the best test for democracy

The Indian democracy is said to be the largest one in the world, certainly due to the largest number of

voters in the general elections, and this is due to the large number of population we have. But can it be

said to be the best democracy? What are the characteristics of a good democracy?

Democracy is a system of government in which the people have full participation in every sphere of it.

Democratic governments are created by the people to work for their welfare and all round development. If

we test the Indian democracy on these grounds, can we call it a good democracy? The answer lies in the

way we perceive a democratic system. If democracy means only a system where people elect their

representatives to form the government, then ours is really a true democracy.

But is it the real meaning of democracy? How far are the governments in India concerned about the

problems of common people and sincerely and honestly do something to resolve them? Do the people of

India have any control over the governments and its officials except to certain extent only during the

general elections? Are the other democracies in the western world functioning like ours? Can an ordinary

person in India dare to ask any government official about his duties and responsibilities and that why he is

abusing his public powers? Do the political leaders genuinely take interest in listening common man¶s

complaint against public authorities?

The nexus between the politicians and bureaucrats has made the situation worse and the people helpless.

The blame also goes to the people who are unable to bring forward the clean imaged, hardworking and

honest individuals to represent them in the governments. People are also to be blamed for electing criminals, dishonest and bad characters as their representatives.
