Democracy?

Does Democracy really work in India?The decision makers stay in high secure houses,with less or no people contact.They do make contact only in case of a Major disaster,i quote MAJOR here,cos it gives them publicity and a vote bank for next elections.Democracy ,is for the people,by the people,of the people.That is what i read in my school books.Have they changed it now?

The politicians form their own category of society,which does not relate to the common man,who indirectly keeps funding his expenses and his mistakes.it is like a runaway nuclear bomb,which keeps fueling itself.The major shift in the political warfare,that has happened recently,would be that,many people from the masses i mean the commoners,have decided,that enough is enough!.They have decided to stand in the local by elections as independent canditates.

Are they going to make a change,or will they be inducted into the political sociey ,once they start winning votes?Only time can answer that question.but it does answer on question,that people have started to take responsibility for their actions.that is a very good beginning, bcos,they have identified the source of all their problems.Indifference in their attitude towards society woes.

i hope that i tried to convey what i had in my mind,but i always seem to get lost half way through :-)
