India needs strong dictatorship rather than weak democratic government


India is a democratic government and people like the concept of democracy where they play an important part in decision making. Although it is supported by many a people, but still the present status of country forces people to give a thought to the dictatorship. Do you think that India needs strong dictatorship rather than a democratic government?

Yes

• Dictatorship is all about a single person government that will be solely responsible for the country’s growth. It gives a better sense of responsibility.

• India is dealing with problems like poverty, population, corruption, economic instability and so on. It requires a strong visionary who can change the scenario of the country.

• Dictatorship opens way for a more stable government where everything is under one man command.

• Whenever there are issues of development in India, many of the political parties are against it, to fulfill their own personal interests. Dictatorship will enhance development by easy and straightforward decision making.

• Dictatorship rule follows the hierarchical values and therefore there is higher discipline and order in the country.

• China doesn’t follow democracy and is really doing well in many fronts. It is moving ahead firmly on the development path.

No

• China follows a free market policy that is possible in any form of government whether it is democracy or dictatorship.

• A country is formed by people and it is not fair to deny the opinions of people. It is important to know what they want.

• It is not necessary that the dictator will follow a fair path. There is no surety of economic or social development in dictatorship. Moreover there is always a risk of punishment if you go against the wrong done in dictatorship.

• Neither Dictatorship is completely perfect nor does the democracy, but at least in democracy people have a right to exercise their power and bring the change.

• Einstein quoted it rightly "Dictators of genius are succeeded by scoundrels."

• Dictatorship is about terror, oppression and more importantly brings lack of freedom.

Conclusion

No system is perfect. Every country has to face some problems at some point of time. India is having a tough time but it does not mean that dictatorship is better than Democracy. A country needs the right government with a right set of visions. It can only bring a change in country.

  • India is good as a democratic nation. There is nothing wrong with the democratic policy. We had been running very good as a democratic nation with such a unity in diversity. If anything that calls for a change is the attitude and consciousness of the common man residing in our country.

    People have failed to respect the virtues of democracy. We have forgotten the value of the independence and the bitterness and pain of slavery. With much effort we have created our own governance in a socialistic and secular manner. Democracy with its definition and policies stays to be the best possible government for a nation like us.

    People need to remember the power of unity and the principles of democracy. We need to understand that the government if for the people, of the people and by the people. If we can let anyone come on power, then the same person can be overthrown in case he does anything wrong. These values of democracy if advocated properly among the Indian citizens, then our government would be much better than any dictator in the world.
