Democratic ? Really?
Wikipedia defines Democracy as
a form of government in which all adult citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Ideally, this includes equal (and more or less direct) participation in the proposal, development and passage of legislation into law. It can also encompass social, economic and cultural conditions that enable the free and equal practice of political self-determination.

Now where on earth does we have a truly democratic government? We just elect people who can act as Emperors or Dictators for next five years and that’s all. I don’t know what’s the difference in political landscape of China and India.
Let’s take the recent FDI fiasco for example. When did we get to have our say during the process? I actually supported the move and was disappointed when the government had to roll back their decision. Not only did they scrap a good decision, it showed India as gutless internationally. And the funniest part about that was the fuckin opposition had no fuckin clue about all of this. They were just blackmailing the government by disrupting the parliament and wasting the tax payer’s money just for political gains. Now will they give back the money lost for all these days from their party fund ? Absolutely no. Here also we are helpless.
Not only are we not getting a say in the decision making process, they are fuckin wasting our money too..
