Democratic Indian Elections

We are the largest democracy in today’s global arena and definitely, maintenance of this democratic structure, in spite of being such a widely diverse country and with lots of ups and downs, has been a great success of our post-independent nation. A number of agencies have played commendable roles in this context and one of this is certainly the Indian Election Commission.
But is the Election Commission functioning to its best? The answer is no.
 When it comes to the time of election, it should be the Apex body. Unfortunately it’s not happening. Ruling party is exploiting this handicapped election commission of India to the maximum extent.
In today’s world of freedom, in my view the election system is completely flouted. Lots of mal practices take place during the election. Most of the political parties spend money to grab hold of votes. The voting machines are manipulated. What else is left??? When machines and people are manipulated why is there a voting system??The most criminal and rich person should be declared as the ruler.
No wonder India has the largest democracy and there are many political parties competing during the elections. At such times it becomes difficult to monitor all the parties for their honest working. But if Indian police works more  independently without coming into any political pressure, I think lot more can be done to make the elections clean.
In my view there are some flaws in the Indian election system, for instance no background of any participating candidate is scrutinized and this is the reason there are many criminals in our politics. Moreover the elections do not take place fairly, for instance there are rallies and huge amounts of money being distributed to the people to gain votes. In such a system, we cannot hope to get fairly elected candidates.
