Should India be next after Egypt?

It may seem awkward to many of my friends and readers.. We Indians take pride as Biggest Democracy of the world.. However, fact is, it is no less than Egypt or any other middle east countries.. We are still controlled by Nehru/Gandhi type of families.. more or less.. It is bloody shame that we don't have any "Aukat" of getting real good new and young leaders despite more than a billion population and counting..

Actually, Indian democracy is biggest sham.. it should be classified as world's number one wonder.. It is controlled by few families and very small group of people..

Okay.. enough of cribbing.. Here are some of my thoughts and solutions..

1) Make term limit for PM/CM/Governor etc. Max 10 years.. i.e. no more than total of two terms.
2) Start dissolving Lok Sabha (Parliament/congress) every two years and conduct elections every two years for entire Lok Sabha.
3) There should be true democracy in all national parties. To ensure that, conduct their national/state presidents election also with Parliament elections every two years
4) On top of that, National Parties Presidents should be elected only once for two years max. Once you become president, you can't even fight for election next time.
5) Along with national parliament elections, perform all other state, municipal and Panchayat.. all possible elections should be done.. Trust me money spent on these elections will be 10 times less than the reduction in corruption due to fear of elections.

I don't know what is happening now.. But 10-15 years back during election times we used to get all roads repaired and all sort of better governance. Why can't we have same thing every two years now.. and with spread of education I definitely believe that it could be even better country. We are making great progress, but 400 million population is still below poverty. That is 8 times total Egypt's population.. Trust me, if somehow this 400 million becomes aware of their power and comes to the road, India will be in bad shape. So unless, we do something soon about it to fix it, they are going to come on road..
