When U read news paper/Magazine, it is full of caste wars, Communal riots,Eve teasing,Offences against women,Political murders and financial frauds...so many.When a honest person tries to represnt it in court/forum,either he will be shifted to other location or to Heaven.Take examples of Great Shri Seshan for his untiring efforts to reform electorial issues or Mrs Kiran Bedi for attempting to make reforms in Goonda culture in National capital ie,New Delhi or the recent murder of Public Engineer Mr.Pandya for his efforts to intiate measures on cost controls for the one of the World Banka aided National High ways project..etc.When some one tries to make better India, he/she will be victimised and our impotent citizens remains silent spectatorThe film makers makes money by screening movies on social evils like corruption(Sahenshah),Cola wars(Corporate),women issues (Mirch Masala).We watch,Talk and forget about them.The question remains same ie.,R we really living in democratic India?

Well, what is your question ? Democracy ? Or disorder ? Democracy--yes, we do have a legitimate, officially established democracy. But the constitution was formed by the modifications in the British constitution, that too to the "conveniece" of the then 'patriotic' leaders ! The changes and modifications angered Ambedkar then, but he was not in a position to do anything. This 'convinient' pattern produces MPs like the late Phoolan Devi, our Laloo (or Aaloo ?), Shibu Soren and the like. If constitution allows for electing criminals and ignorant, simplistic people who cannot even have most common social skills, what can the public do--except revolt just like in 1857 ?

The answer is yes and it works. The problem is, we fail to remember it is our government and it is our responsibility to keep it working. What it means is that we have to ensure the elected members are doing their job for which we have elected them and if not we ask them to leave. The political leaders and goverments only do what people want and unfortunately most of the people want what you told in your question. There is a issue of minorities in a democracy system in which the minority never get what they want. I remember reading that this system should be changed to the benifit of minority such that if you do not have your elected members in the goverement (i.e. it is not your goverment) then you should be compensated by means like tax benifit.

there will always be three kinds of people, the good , bad , and very bad. democracy is all about how do people use it. the users being what they are ,things you take pains to describe are but obvious. because good class is in minority that is unlikely to get the quota privilege just for being good.
the good are not going to vote un any particular pattern as other two sections do.
