Would it be democratic? Indian context

Tweet

In India, we have heavily populated Northern (including some of the eastern and western States). People in South are more focused on better lifestyle, and better education. I sometimes go to a registered medical practitioner who is about 40 years or so old. He hails from one of the Northern States. Last month he went to his home town...to get his 18 year old girl married!!! But that is a custom that is tough to avoid. We are all so caste minded that the girl may not find another match if he decides to educate her further and make her independent. In south, such boundaries are considerably lowered...so a girl studies hard, takes up a job, and then gets married. The marriage age can be almost 24 to 27. Because she is educated, she has better understanding of what she wants from her life, so focuses on her aspiration. The younger one from the North often does not know how to use a computer. Her aspirations are confined to pleasing her husband, pleasing his family and looking after kids, and household chores. Should husband die or be maimed, her life becomes miserable as other family members have to support her family (they mostly live in joint families), so they extract their pound of flesh by treating the girl almost like a servant. Given such scenarios, the Central government is now envisaging having ministers as per the number of people in a place. That seems like a gross injustice to me. It is penalizing people from the south for having fewer children. It is penalizing a society that is advancing. It is penalizing people who pay taxes. And they said Donald Thump has gone berserk. Here, a country that keeps spreading its hands in front of foreign nations, this aid or that aid, has leaders who do not understand how the representation of educated class will come down. How is his democracy? The poor sell their votes simply for a drink costing leaders about 500 INR...the educated are the only ones who can demand things...and call the bluff.
