INDIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM
Leaders are elected by the people, of the peopleand for the people.
The word for the people is slowly losingconviction as the leaders today are more self
centered, think about personal gains. They shy away from putting country before self-
A requisite for a good political leader.

Unfortunately, the so-called young guns of Indian politics havedone themselves few favors by remaining prisoners of their lineagebut offering little else by way of fresh ideas.
A number of them are democratic dynasts, sons and daughters ofpoliticians who see electoral politics as an extension of their family
fiefdom.
Blessed with an exaggerated sense of entitlement, we rarely seethem speak out in Parliament, take up socially-relevant issues orgive us a sense of what they stand for.
If our young leaders claim to represent young India, then why dontwe see them take up issues that directly impinge on generationnext: jobs, education, corruption, environment, morality, AIDS, evengay rights.
When the Article 377 judgment was delivered in the Delhi High Court,we didnt hear a squeak from our younger MPs, almost suggesting an

on proportion of MPs there will be majorityrepresentatives from other parties who will be able

CONCLUSION There is no one who is willing to articulate a view of India and
Indian-ness with clarity and force so that the country can cometogether and make the sacrifices needed to build a new India that
the framers of the Constitution imagined. But for that to happen the relationship between bullet and ballot
must end.
Only by empowering the common man and involving them in
decision making can lead to better representation. We have the flaws but fail to implement but if we correct this we
would lay strong foundations for pillars of sound political system.
