Indian democracy is on life-support and the need is infusion of fresh blood enthusiasm and honest committed young people with a global perspective who can change the world. What the Indian democracy needs is a list of political reforms is the one that will encourage more participation from the common man. The middle class in India has no interest or say in the political process and that is because the whole structure of Indian democracy is flawed. For example: What will a union minister from Madhya Pradesh know about the infrastructure needs of people of Tripura?
State level autonomy seems to be the best course of action for India with each state and city for itself. Regional governments must be empowered to decide for their populace. Local government must be empowered to decide on the following issues:
Infrastructure
Industrial Policy
Education
Power and energy
Transportation
Trade and ports
And others but the federal government must be involved in key decision making like policy for defence, aviation, foreign affairs, telecommunication and just focus on these aspects of policy making.
Devolution of power to states, cities, villages and towns is a must to rekindle common man's interest in democracy and policy making instead of reserving the power with a few babus or netas.
