Erosion of democracy.

The irony of democratic system is that when it starts eroding in a somewhat invisible way,it keeps the illusion as a reality simply with the help of its apparent processes which includes election on a regular basis and the formation of elected government.We take pride for being world's largest democracy where we demonstrate that appearances can be deceptive and yet the system thrives without being questioned,challenged or even doubted.Indian democracy has succeeded by conspiring in a subtle way with the increasing number of vested interest-call them corporate sector or industrialists lobby which is hand in glove with the ruling elites.Those who are in the know of the game government is playing -they are in minority despite being educated elites and committed section of the media.Almost every one is kept in good humour hence the erosion is invisible.The most unfortunate fact is that it is the government which decides who is undemocratic and why hence our survival instinct rests almost like silence of the lamb.
