What are most needed reforms in …

All the suggestions or proposals about overcoming various challenges to democracy are called ‘democratic reforms’ or ‘political reforms’. All the countries do not have the same challenges, thus, the political reforms should be different.
Some of the political reforms which should be implemented in India are given below:

1. The best way to bring out reform in the political system is to adopt a proper constitutional basis according to the public opinion or mandates. Legal and constitutional reforms should be carried out. Some of the acts are century old and need to be amended as per the current needs.
2. There should be people's participation in politics from grass-root to superstructure level. The best example is the Panchayati Raj System and its election processes are now law.
3. Administrative reforms to corruption in the political circles and the bureaucracy. The law of universal literacy should be implemented. Poverty alleviation to provide wages and employment to landless and the poor.
4. Elimination of gender discrimination through social-economic reforms. The regional imbalances should be redressed.
5. Sustainable development in terms of economic, social and environmental reforms.
6. Improve the quality of political parties by competent people’s participation.
7. Democratic reforms are to be brought about principally through political practice. Therefore, the main focus of political reforms should be on ways to strengthen democratic practice. The most important concern should be to increase and improve the quality of political participation by ordinary citizens.
