Democratic & Administrative Reforms
#49
To try to stir some debate on this vexed question?

The current political configuration is the result of our constitution....no..it is our people...no...it is poverty/illiteracy....no it our corrupt leaders... Is democracy in its present form of electoral politics of one man/one vote even the right solution for India? Can we jump to a Presidential form of governance, when that form has failed in most countries it was implemented in (except US).

Whether it is the people, who have failed the constitution or the constitution has failed the people is up for debate as stated by no less than some of the original authors of the constitution. I forget the name now but this was in the early 90's. With the largest constitution ever written and 104 amendments to top it in 55 years, we should be geniuses or just getting it wrong.

Some sources for reference:
