MY VIEW ABOUT POLITICS 4:
The Word "Democracy" comes from the Greek Language.
It means ,the rule of the people! “for the people by the people and of the people”

(1A) As we use the word today, we usually mean a government where the people elect their representatives. In any democratic country, its people elect the representatives by voting. These representatives form a government which works for the welfare of the people. These voting type system is found in Roman civilization for electing the senators. In Chola Dynasty, kudavolai system is used to elect the representatives.

(2A) So far, we have had 2 types of democracies: Direct and Representative.

In the “Direct” democracy the people gather together and frame a general policy. They then elect officials to effect it.

In the “Representative” democracy the representatives are elected which rule on behalf of the people.

In today’s world the direct democracy is not a practical proposition. And so, the democratic countries of the world practice only the representative democracy.

(3A) The democracies of the world grant many fundamental rights to their citizens. The foremost among them are: The freedom of speech, movement and association. The citizens are free to practice any trade, choose any religion and enjoy equality before the law.

(4A) Political democracy originated in Greek city States. Athens gave the lead. It was a form of direct Democracy. After the fall of Greek civilization, it disappeared for about 1800 years. Modern democracy originated in the middle ages. The “CONTRACT THEORY” was popular during this time. It was believed that a contract existed between rulers and their subjects by which each required to perform certain duties. If the ruler failed to perform his duties, the people had the right to take back the powers they had vested in him.

During 19^th and 20^th century many countries adopted this form of government. The oldest republic of the world is a small country in southern Europe called San Marino. It set up its own Government in the 10^th century. It was founded in the 4^th century by Marinus,a stone-cutter from Yugoslavia.

This is the history of democracy.

Now,world largest democracy is INDIA.(face of democracy)

(1B) Now, the voting system of India changes,(ie)AVM(automatic voting machine).

The major change in the process of voting, People represent the candidate to the assembly or parliament on the basis of capacity of MONEY. People don’t care about the criminal and illegal activities of that candidate, they only care about their share. There are some people, who don’t want to vote. They are educated. Because of these the uneducated people sell their votes. Some people thing that, their single vote wont change the government or the leader, but it have more value, even in single vote government can change. Many candidates failed in election because of single vote. Each and every person vote is countable.

(2B) Now in India, there are 2 types of democracies: “MONEY” democracy and

“Religion and Caste” Democracy.

In the “MONEY” democracy , the representatives are elected on behalf of the people “who sell their votes for money”.

In the “Religion and Caste” Democracy the representatives are elected on behalf of the people who put their votes on the basis of caste and religion

(3B) Now, the democracy of INDIA grant many fundamental rights to their citizens. The freedom of speech is apply for, those who are in RULING PARTY, movement and association apply for, those who are in Power and influence. The RICHEST citizens are free to practice any trade , POLITICIANS choose any religion for their party and enjoy “inequality” before the law for Rich people and politicians.

(4B) Now, the politicians adopt the “CONTRACT THEROY” between the voters and candidate. If the candidate provide enough money to the voters during election, the winning candidate is allow to gain more than he spend during the election, in the name of “corruption” .And he can access the people money with full freedom , specially with security of police.

HOW IS IT…these is our INDIAN DEMOCRACY
