Democracy – the Internet defines it as “the rule of the people” and according to the Indian constitution, democracy is
By the people
Of the people and
For the people.
India is a democratic country and we take great pride in saying this. But how much has this “democracy” helped us? We still have poverty, crime, corruption – and this is rampant all over the nation. Unhealthiness, stink, over population, poverty, unhygienic conditions, traffic congestion, pollution – this is India in the eyes of many citizens of the so-called “developed” countries. But when you ask any Indian how he sees India - cultural diversity, religious harmony, vibrant colours… this is how he will define India. We also don’t fail to mention the democratic state of our nation.
What has democracy brought to us?? The n number of political parties it has given birth to and the politicians from their parties trying out to outdo the politicians of the other parties. All the false promises made by the politicians before the elections to which majority of us fall for. The fights between the religious communities cause by the “unnamed people”.
The democracy has divided us because of the selfish reasons of a few politicians. We have been differentiated on the basis of religion, caste, jobs and what not. It is our job that we don’t let this affect us and we try to remain united. And we fight; fight together against the injustice.
I don’t say democracy is bad. What I am trying to say is just by labeling ourselves as democratic will not serve the purpose. We as citizens of this wonderful nation should show some amount of responsibility. We have to voice out our opinions from time to time. We have to fight, but as a whole against crime, corruption and not let ourselves get carried away. For starting, we can help this nation by helping with the civic amenities. The government has provided us with various public toilets so then why don’t we make use of them instead of the roadsides??
We have started to get a very laid-back attitude by saying why do we have to do anything when the government is there. But why do we forget that it is BY THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE. It is not only the government’s duty but ours as well. We have to educate our fellow citizens and make them aware of their rights and rules. It is up to us to better this country and criticizing the government will not help the situation. It is the time to stand up and let go of all our inhibitions for the sake of our country, our fellow countrymen.
