Demons Of Democracy


The current political class is behaving like “Demons of Democracy”, working for their own sake instead of welfare of people, performing their actions without any sense of public responsibility and accountability. By exploiting people and public servants, this political class is continuously creating hurdle in efficient, effective and economic execution of different social schemes and various developmental policies through corruption, capitalism, etc.  In a welfare State like India, which enjoys her democratic character only at political front through Universal Adult Franchise, should further intensified her democratic attribute at social as well as economic front. It can be happened  by a number of small but very efficient legislations within a federal structure like Right to Service which ensures a time bound service delivery mechanism; Right to Hearing concerns about the grievances after a late delivery of public service; Right to Have Occupation strengthens the people to work for country as well as provides them employment; Right to Food concerning the problem of hunger and malnutrition which once time has been said India’s national Shame; Right to Have A Pollution Free Environment; social security rights for women and children; etc. Some of these rights have already been legislated, but the thing is that they have been only legislated. In fact to change the current picture of creeping development of our nation, an active enforcement of these legislations is the much need of our society. Only this type of socio-political structure will inject a sense of responsibility & accountability in our political class and then we will run on the path of development with our full economic strength. But remember, all this will happen if each of us will cast his/her vote in elections with a scientific, unbiased mind far from caste and religion.
