"By the people, of the people, for the people."

At the onset I would like to set the records straight. In my opinion: "Each and every individual have a right to his/her personal views/opinions and I welcome their views/opinions to help INDIA to be a better place to live in and a better nation for all of its citizens". - Ivo Oscar Faleiro.

Every five years or less, we exercise our most sacred fundamental right to elect a new government. This government as per definition of our Constitution is supposed to be, "By the people, of the people, for the people." But, I would like to amend it by adding, 'But, nothing to the people.' 

Corruption from grass-root to the highest level, population growth at an alarming rate, inefficient, untrained police force and other government staff, who only know their political masters are few legacies of our democratic set up created by our beloved representatives whom we devotionally and emotionally elect.
 
In the United States, nobody can contest an election for more than two terms for the same post. You can start from the grass- root level and finally wind up as the President of the nation (or vice-verse, if you do like how many Indian politicians do over here!).
 
Secondly, a person who is not of American origin by birth can never dream of ever becoming the President or the Vice-President. They can contest for any other post.
 
"India needs at least 10 years of civil dictatorship", are the most famous words of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose. And he paid a very high price for saying so.
 
Today, I say to you that we need at least 20 to 25 year of civil dictatorship to undo the mess our politicians have created from the time of Independence if we are ever to achieve the vision set by our beloved ex-President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam to make India a developed nation by the year 2020, first we have to reform our political, judicial, police, bureaucratic, educational systems coupled with social-economic reforms.
 
Will our most beloved politicians ever do this? is a billion dollars question.
