Democracy ?? My foot!

We Indians are proud to be the world's largest democracy. Well thanks to our Chinky brothers who have little faith in the ballot box, we are indeed the largest voter list in the world. Does that mean that India has come of age from its age old Raja-Praja practices. Observe carefully, and you would say "No". Afterall , old practices die hard. When India attained independence some 50 yrs ago, Pt. Nehru became the obvious choice for Premiership. And guess who is projected to rule us for the coming years- his great-grand son/daughter. Should we call this democracy or Monarchy?
We Indians have this habit of attributing everything to our lineage. We think that everything boils down to one's BLOOD. Blame the traditional caste system for this school of thought. Even the movies tell the same sad story. Until we get rid of this ugly syndrome, even GOD wont be able to help our nation.
