Democracy asks for a wakeful electorate
K N Pandita India’s tryst with democracy tells us that democracy is likely to be abused rather than gainfully used when left to the voters who are maximally unaware of its pre-requisites. One significant discrepancy of democracy for a multi-religious, multi-lingual and multi-cultural society like that of India is of elected members focusing on regional issues even at the cost of broad national interests. When the new parliament met for the first time after elections, it was primarily for felicitating the Speaker who had won in a bilateral competition and took his official seat. Those who voted against him have to show him respect precisely in the way in which the opposition member...
