60% politicians hold criminal records. Most are illiterate. Almost all are super corrupt.
And do you think that is different from politicians in other countries?
You are not alone - it is kinda similar in other countries. The only thing worse than a politician is someone that voted for them.
Of course, true believers in Democracy will say, "We'll just vote out the bad ones". How is that working out?
Better than no democracy at all. I think anyone can see the problems with it.
Politicians distribute huge sums of corrupt money to poor and lower middle class population just before elections.
And your average Indian would love to get a government job that has scope of corruption.
All in all you have culture where corruption in normalized.
We’ve voted out charismatic leaders, we’ve voted in huge coalitions, we’ve ignored sympathy waves after political assassinations, power transfers have been uniformly peaceful since we gained independence.
If this cultural/endemic corruption at work, I think most people in most countries would prefer this to whatever oligarchy, junta, theocracy, ruler-for-life-god-on-earth-ocrasy they suffer under.
