CAN WE REFINE THE DEMOCRACY?

In Indian democracy, the people are nothing but mere voting machines. People have no role to play other than casting the vote once in every five years. What is prevailing in India is something like political monarchy. The political parties in power become unchallengeable. And that must be the reason for corruption become rampant here. Indian money is reported to have pumped out by the corrupt to other countries.

All said and done, people have lost confidence in our political parties. However people still have trust in judiciary. It is suggested, therefore, that the judiciary may involve themselves to refine the democracy. If we take a close look at the legislative and executive functioning in different states, we can find shoddy and below average behaviour by the 'democratically' elected members. Even violent activities including destruction could be witnessed in the legislative assembly.

What is suggested here is that, the most trusted part of the Indian Democracy, the Judiciary may actively take part in the prime function of democratic governance. The Judiciary may make it's watchful presence in legislative and executive. The Apex court may nominate three persons either from the judicial community or other eminent people from the public. They may attend every parliament session and shall have the right to correct all members including recommending punishment by the Apex Court. According to our constitution the Apex Court may find ways and means to implement this suggestion with the sole purpose of refining our democracy and thereby eradicate corruption from our great country. Total support of the people will be there for this. When the judiciary is taking this refining process, quite naturally they may find to implement this from within the purview of the Constitution of India.
