Democracy is supposed to be of the people, by the people, for the people. Is it really working in India? It does not need a debate. Every common person will agree to that it is not. The current debate who should be the president is a classic example. The politicians that we have elected have an opposite perspective to the common man. More than 2 lakh people have voted on NDTV in favor of Dr Kalam. Close to 50% are in favor of Narayan Murthy or Dr Amartya Sen. Where as all the politicians want the sovereign power to be a person who will not be an impediment to their dirty politics. Is it really democracy?
