Largest Democracy.

Being an Indian, the question "Which is the largest democracy in the world?" will look silly.

Democracy means 'rule by the people'. When the people are not powered to choose their Chief Minister, Prime Minister and/or President directly, do we have a right political system to justify this claim?.

It is not too long to forget the wonders done by T. N. Seshan as Chief Election Commissioner. Electoral reforms and voter's ID are the brain children of Mr. Seshan. When he showed interested to become the President of India, the public representatives denied him.

Dr. Abdul Kalam was the master mind behind India's missile and nuclear weapons programs. He has a dream of making India a super power. He is considered to be a great human with great vision. The political parties are hesitating to re-nominate him for the post of president.

I believe both of them are the people's choice for that post, but denied by their own representatives.
