The fault lies in us, the citizens. We consider that our democratic duty ends with our casting the vote. Many of us do not even care to do that minimum. An effective democracy is possible to sustain only if the citizens are vigilant. We need to be vigilant and fight for our rights, through democratic means. A kind of a submissiveness has become our characteristic nature, perhaps as a result of a long years of colonial rule. We dare not raise our voice seeking what is our rights and what is due to us. It is high time that a movement was started in bringing a mechanism for enforcement of the citizens' democratic rights. JP's clarion call for "a total revolution", which in the context in which it was raised in his time, was mistaken for a mere anti-Indira slogan, has to reinvented for the original sense in which JP actually intended it. There must be a revolution in our thinking, attitude and action. A movement that is somewhat akin to Mao Tse tung's cultural revolution. The youth need to come out of the deep slumber, in which they entrapped for long.

I would think the most important reason being corruption.
The taxes we pay hardly get allocated to the appropriate development projects. Even if they do , most of the contractors bill the goverment 10 times more than the actual costs. they get away with this by bribing the appropriate govenrment posts.
Plus add to this the problem of tax evasions. how many Indian businesses actually pay full taxes.
