Jana Gana Mana - The Soul of India
The entire Jana Gana Mana describes the qualities of an ideal leader (Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka) that every other politician should aspire to become, namely Jana Gana Mangaladayaka, Jana Gana Aikya Vidhayaka, Jana Gana Patha Parichayaka, and Jana Gana Dukkha Trayaka. However, one can see that we are stuck with just the first stanza as our National Anthem, and thus it hardly makes any sense. The task of our bureaucracy in the ECI should be to enable every other potential candidate (including government employees) and impede the charlatans, crooks, and criminals from acquiring power, or else these elections will apparently become nothing more than a festival of betting, show-off, and favoritism.
During every election season, government employees and contractual staff (including many who are unfit and/or unwilling) are forced to go on election duty in the scorching summer sun. All of this is of no use if elections don't serve the purpose of choosing the most suitable candidate.
Elections are a crucial part of democracy. If people don't realize whom to choose & the power that has been given to them, we'll end up with a terribly dysfunctional democracy and an even more dysfunctional society. more

Nice statement. But in practice it never happens. Votes for cash, votes for freebies have become the norm, include caste, religion etc. also. more

Absolutely correct....but the ethos of our constitution is to forgive and forget....so you set free a murderer after twenty years of trial?? It's very confusing where to start.....even the election commissioners used to be appointed by the party in power at the center, apparently there was no law....it is good that there is no fear among the people to abide by the law unless caught at the bad moment but at the same time people needed to be empowered by a strong moral character building.....better late than never... more
