Why do I think India should not Follow Western Democracy ?
The Westerners celebrate Democracy because they are descendants of Greeks. As you probably know, Greece was made up of 1000+ City States, Meaning small Cities that considered themselves "Republics". One among these was Athens and they were the ones who invented Democracy, Sometime in the year 100 B.C or before.
Democracy in Ancient Athens removed rights of Voting from Women and Slaves, Yes the First Athenian Democracy had Slaves !!! Democracy was a system of Governance only privileged only for Men. This was reformed in its own "Natural way" suited to European Culture, Religion, Society and History in France, England and America in 15th ~ 20th Century which gave rise to Western Democracy. This was a long process of 500 years of Experiments and mistakes and re-writing of Laws and Constitution and Reforms.
Now my question is this - By doing a "Ctrl + C & Ctrl + V" of Modern Western Democracy, We are skipping ahead of 500 Years of "Natural Events & Evolution" of Governance related to Indian Culture, Religion, Society and History. This is the reason Reservations exist, Clashes happen, Communal Conflicts happen, Corruption exists and Incompetency exists.
This is why we were, we are and we will remain a "Flawed Democracy", We can never be like Western Nations because we are like a Peacock copying how to fly like an Eagle. A Peacock can never soar in Skies like an Eagle, It should know its Limits, Given the size of its Gifted Wings, It better for the Peacock to stop being an Eagle and start being a Peacock and do things that Peacocks are best at doing - Dancing, Spreading its Wings and Flying short bursts in the Air.
