Democracy not correctly defined

We must accept that democracy has not been correctly defined. It is not government of the people. As set of people have taken up politics as a profession, trade, calling and employment and they are the rulers. Therefore, as and when a government is formed after election, that government is not of the people because these ruling people are not from amongst the people. They are the nominees of the political parties and only political parties know on what consideration these people have been selected and nominated for election. It is not a government by the people and that is the reason the people in the government are not working for the people. The people are simply voters who are called once in a five years aor so and they are directed to cast votes in favour of the candidates who have been allowed to stand as candidates. When these people cast their vote, their work is finished and they are pushed back to suffer for an other term of five years or so. The people who form government never work for the welfare of the people of the country nor they are committed as such. That is the reason in most of the democracies in the world the people in power are not working as public servants and they never allow the people to turn as masters of the country. Democracy is just a name and therefore, the ruler’s work with a rod in their hand and they utilize all power through police, courts and through jails. The people get only those rights which these rulers give them and nothing more. The word of democracy, fundamental rights, masters and public servants are just in books and those are never brought into practice. Therefore, we shall have admit that democracy which is present in all the countries could be called or defined as a government of a few, by a few and for a few and therefore, the common people should try to live like slaves as they had been under rajas, maharajas or under the imperialists. They shall have to wait for true democracy for another century.
