Democracy said to be a government which is for the people and by the people. But conditions in certain parts of country make you rethink about this statement. Is democracy all about playing patriotic song to garner votes or is it all about wining an election by buying votes using money, liquor or use of muscle power? Once elected representatives of people don't care about the larger chunk whom they represent. Well these things existed earlier and still have not been eradicated but certainly there is a change in which people are thinking about government structure. Laws such as right to information are playing a major role in this process. People are now fed up of corruption and fall in the moral standards of people's representatives. This discontentment is taking shape of movements. Lok Satta movement in Andhra Pradesh is one of the hundreds of movements in the country that are working in the direction of reform in our democratic structure. The key lies in the hands of people. There is a dire need of coming together and working collectively in order to fight improve the system. We need not question the appropriatness of none of these in the electronic voting machine but it's the time when we should stand together and creat better options for us and for future generations.

You should also remember the role of e-governance to bring more transparency and accountability in the system and thus achieving the true meaning of democracy. I found one interesting article to substantiate my claim. Please read it. It is about workers under
NREGS collecting their wages using smart cards.
