Political parties and politics in India: An appraisal in present scenario

Across the globe every Homo sapiens (Biological being) is a cultural being who belongs at least to one nation and nationality under the reign of established government. Democracy is a very good system in which every citizen can play its role for his/her nation. Democracy is established with the help of electoral policy which governs elections of a country. India is the biggest democratic country in the world where numerous national and regional parties are surviving with electoral policies. An individual always thinks about his basic rights of food, sex (marriage), protection etc. for smooth survival. People of India give majority to that political party for next five years, which agrees to all these parameters in its manifesto, But it is also a fact that parties are getting good results by making comments on social and cultural sentiments of the electorate, though a voter never thinks about the cost of his vote. A voter never demands anything in return for his voter ship. The Voter of India is not aware of Article 21 and other fundamental rights given in the Indian constitution, which talks about health, wealth, safety, health, house, education, road, security. A voter also never challenges the manifesto of any party. The winning party gets all the desires of the electorates fulfilled only at the utopian level, which should otherwise be challenged in the frame of commitment which was made by the party and its members who contested during the election. A party which ignores the basic rights and violates its manifesto commits the violation of human rights of its citizens. To discuss how an individual feels cheated in the name of election and what electoral reforms are required to maintain the dignified life of a national, is the main objective of our paper. After passing a long period it is necessary to evaluate the present scenario of political parties’ role in nation building.
