IS DEMOCRACY AN IMAGINARY CONCEPT?

Practically what is observed in a democratic system is that the common man or more refined to say the citizen is nothing but a vote casting machine. He has no role in decision making, formation of law or implementation the law. He does not have any voice anywhere. If he finds something goes wrong, he cannot practically correct the same. When corruption takes place all around, this common man deemed to have moved away unnoticed. If he spot the error of the elected and highlight the same he may even be eliminated. He cannot pinpoint any activities of corruption if found in the legislature, executive or the judiciary. He may be put behind bars. That is the so called democracy and the related freedom of expression.

There is more comody in the democracy than we think. It is presumed that in a democratic system the people elect their representatives to rule them. The people are construed as the masters and the elected representatives are said to be their servants. In reality all powers are vested with the servants. The master has no power at all. He cannot even call back his so called representatives.

Now, we must think deeper into the matter and try to refine the existing form of democracy. The funniest thing is that no master seem to have understood what is said here. Instead of shouting zindabad for these so called servants on their behests, should we masters sit together and discuss for a viable alternative. All we have to do should be within the framework of the constitution of the country.
