DEMOCRACY IS a very common word used by our politicians; do we really know what democracy is? Is it just a dictionary word? American President Mr. Abraham Lincoln had stated that the democracy is a form of government, which is formed "by the people", "for the people" and "of the people".

If this is democracy then why are people still suffering? How can you see a beggar on the streets if the government is "of the people"? How come a retired government employee has to pay bribe to get his pension if the government is by the people"? Why do farmers commit suicide and why do they have to suffer to produce food for the country if the government is "for the people"?After seeing all these things, do you still consider India to be a democratic country? Then what is a true democracy? In India, we have many political parties, some are at the state level and others at national level. We select one of them, so that it can form the government. Have you ever thought what if you don't want any of them? What if you don’t vote for any one of them? Then, where will the basic right of the Indian citizen go?
Think about this. There are 5 political parties in a state and they are all contesting from a single constituency. The population of that constituency is say 10 lakhs. The political parties get their polling results and their polling results are 17.5%, 18%, 18.5%, 17%, 19% and the remaining 10% did not give their votes. Considering these results, the political party with just 19% votes wins the election. The party’s chosen candidate will become the people's representative from that constituency. How come a person who was elected by 19% of the people can represent 100% of the people in that constituency? The remaining 81% people had not accepted him as their representative.This is the so-called "DEMOCRACY" and we are the biggest “DEMOCRACIES" in the world. How can we say that this is a people's government?
