With the oncoming Indian elections, many citizens are writing letters on the subject. They are expressing their frustrations with the corrupt politicians, mushrooming political parties, unreliable voter registration process, aging politicians, illiterate voters, hooliganism, communal influences and a host of other issues. Some are questioning if India even has the right ingredients for a true democracy. At the same time it is clear that everyone is glad that it is an open democracy.The letters make interesting reading and provide a good snapshot of the country’s mood.
