We the people of India know fully well that we are outrightly cheated in the name of elections. We assume and vote for one group and another group gain and rule us against our wish. And these plans are made even before we go and vote and we the people of India have no say on this. Is this a demoracy?

No. How it can be a Democracy but a Drumocacy (that only sounds sweet but is hollow in nature).

India is a flawed democracy. In a recent study, Indian democracy was ranked # 37 amongst 160 odd democracies. The first 20 odd countries were proper democracies and have reaped the benefits. All these countries happen to be in west. In a democracy, the citizens have a right to choose. But in India, no choice is really presented. In India, the national elections are actually a combination of several regional elections. Nobody presents their agenda. Some parties present their Manifestos as a matter of formality but without seriousness. The citizens are not given a chance to evaluate the options and decide what is good for us. Media also picks up only emotional issues instead of organizing debates on manifestos. We never truly had democracy. Our government is not by the people, from the people, for the people. Instead, it is by the politicians, from the politicians, for the politicians. We just have to vote that just does not matter. Finally, what matters is how good the politicians are at manipulation. In India, democracy is like showing the carrot but not giving it. So, we never realized the perceived benefits of a democracy. Our founders have laid down faulty foundation. After all they were politicians too. It is time that we have a revolution to fix the things. It should be something like an independence struggle, an independence from the blood sucking politicians.

No, they will be employed as Water-boys - to serve drinks; of course, in their knickers! Lolz!
Third front is best choice. Congress is cheating us saing Indians, BJP is cheating us saying Hindus. Both are not real identities and you can change or it will authomatically change, when the situation is changed.
The unchangeable identity is linguistic identity, and only third front can keep us saying that. We must change this third front as first front and send others aside.

These third front fellows are dirty fellows. They have only personal agenda.Either vote for BJP or Congress. For assembly , you can choose your chaachaji and mamaaji.
Pawar is thinking that by joining third front, he will his chance to become Prime Minister. Given the number of contenders for the PM post in third front, right Prakash Karat, Mayavati, Jayalalitha, Chandrababu Naidu, Deve Gowda, and now Biju Patnaik, there is no question of Pawar getting anywhere near the PM seat. Not even for a Dy. PM which Devilal used to enjoy once.

Whatever respect & regard was earned by Gopalan, Jyoti Basu & Surjeet is being wasted by the so called JNU educated Karat. The day is not far enough when Karat & company will be nowhere and the communist movement will die its own death.Thanks to Karat & Co. for expediting the decay.
Even after 50 years of independence our ppls dont understand the basic culture of politicians.The politicians are trying to do everything for their benifit.Surprisingly mob of fulls is folling like sheep by carrying weight of wool ultimately used for benifit of ALL politicians.Without TRUE education to every indian the system of currupt will not change
