Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Revolutionary changes have noticed in Indian economy vis avis polity in the last two and half decades. However, some of these changes are progressive and fruitful to the nation and society whereas the others are regressive and suicidal in character. Hung legislatures, coalition politics, unstable and minority governments, weak position of PM and Chief Ministers, decline in public life, rising opportunism, lack of statesmanship, emergence of extra constitutional power centres, downsizing of public sector and rising corporates under the impact of LPG process, parochial outlook and rising insurgency and trend of road justice are the major challenges and issues of the day. If they are not addressed well in time, these can put at stake the unity and integrity of the Nation. Moreover, the progressive tendencies like strengthening of constitutional bodies as Election Commission, Higher Judiciary, Comptroller and Auditor General, Legislatures etc. as well as the vigilant and participatory citizenry need to boost up for making Indian Democracy more viable and vibrant. Ethics in public life and RTI Act, 2005 will be instrumental in attaining optimum benefits from the ongoing programmes of social welfare and development.
