DO INDIA NEED A CHANGE IN THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT?
Part II
Continued from yesterday
Panchayats, Municipalities, State Legislators and National Parliament put together there are 2,77,671 elected members who are entrusted with various decision making. If they fail to take the right decision at the right time some time it may cost heavily to the country. Further to this there are innumerable media reports about some politicians in power swindle huge amount of public money. Though there are ways and means to find out the truth behind the media reports in many cases the people get a feeling that the media reports are not effectively enquired upon.
Why it is happening so? The reason behind these are that in most cases the corruption is not a single hand action. It is a chain of action and therefore, the sharing the sum involved in by a large number of people. However, there are absolutely honest people can be found everywhere. And that make the crime leaked out and sometimes reach the media. But unfortunately in most cases it ends there. India is surviving today because of the huge number of honest people found in government employment, politics, media and in every sector of our society. There are still many people around us who cannot be baited by any amount of money. However, there are a large number of people who may do anything for money.
The first practical step towards elimination of corruption is to raise our literacy level to graduation. And from class IV to class XII add the subject Corruption in all classes. While this can be the initial approach we must rewrite our democracy into a stronger and effective one. India is a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic with a Parliamentary form of government which is federal in structure with unitary features. There is a Council of Ministers with the Prime Minister as its head to advise the President who is the constitutional head of the country. We are following this system for over seven decades. The prime disadvantages found in this system are too hard to accomodate.
