Death of Democracy and Rise of Kakistocracy in India
Indian voters should not blindly follow any politician because most of the politicians in all political parties are crooks.
OPENING STATEMENT
Today, India is standing at the crossroads where the country’s 1.4 billion people are facing a grave threat from their own political rulers who have been exploiting the sentiment of people for the past seven decades after India got independence from the Britishers in 1947.
While almost all politicians here are corrupt – many are facing serious criminal charges – they have been winning elections by dividing voters on the basis of their caste, creed, color, and religious affiliations. Elections are also being won by bribing the voters, intimidating them, or by tampering with the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Also, the autocratic rulers frequently purchase legislators in horse-trading deals to steal elections and form governments unscrupulously.
