NEGATIVE INDIAN DEMOCRACY

Indian Democracy is in most parts negative - a fact reflected during elections.All major parties debate negatively- trying to justify their own negative acts in the light of similar negative acts committed by the opponents ; most minority vote banks act negatively - against a particular candidate/ party rather than in favour ; almost all the parties select candidates with negative track records - on the pretext of winnability ; and ,on assuming office, most parties have a negative agenda - of discontinuing / co-opting even the good programmes of the previous government ; witchhunting the opposition leaders etc. - amid all this negativity we must be really naive to expect positive outcomes from our democracy.The need of the hour is to counter negativity of all the aspects- choice of candidates , debates agenda of office et al.
