Re: Why many Indian politicians have a criminal record
#2I'm an Indian and can verify that. A lot of scumbags keep winning and hold onto power here usually by hook or crook. In fact even the prime Minister modi was on a mass murdering case of Gujarat 2002. He was the chief minister when the riots Happened!! That guy has still not even apologized or said sorry to the families whose people were killed. The current govt has the largest share of criminals in power. There are some honest players coming up. We'll see if they are really honest in a few years.

#3The Article doesn't cover basics of Criminality of Indian Politicians.
These are just two example in last week from 1 south Indian state caught on camera (Because Local media would not cover since pretty much media in state supports ruling party):

Very rarely criminality of Indian politicians comes out because Media do not want to cover it. These showed up because someone could record. But in both cases, elected representatives and their goons are already out of trouble.
India is a land of lawlessness and that's a reality.
[1]A journalist being beaten by local representatives brother because he wrote on their corruption.
[2]Goons of local representative beating a women (1 eyed mind you) because she didn't agree for their illegal construction in front of her house.

I think you should stop whatever you are doing and get appointed as a judge in the Supreme Court of India. Obviously you know so much more than what they know or have deduced about criminals in India, much less the PM.

#5I have another theory. You don't get votes in India. You buy them. A wannabe politician needs a lot of money to win an election. Criminals who have made money through bootlegging or by beating up people have a leg up in this respect. Once they get to power, they indulge in corruption to pay off the people who helped them win and to save for the next election. The next election, they have more money to pay the average voter so his competitor needs to be an even bigger criminal.

Oh! We've an honest person here. Who are those honest players coming up? Hope it's not 'pseudos' like Kejriwal. Also, you should get appointed as a Supreme Court Judge ASAP.

did you not read the word 'was' ? Im not saying he is a mass murderer. Im only saying he was on the case for long. Your insecurity about this only makes me even more suspicious.

#8In case anyone wants to see more specific data, there is a site (http://netafilter.in/) that displays all constituencies, their MPs and the number of cases filed against them on a map.

That'll be tough mate. Judiciary in India is another corrupt system, where only money works.
Re: Why many Indian politicians have a criminal record
#10Indian villages are still tribal. The tribal cheiftains win the elections. As there is no legitimate methods to be chieftains, the way to be one is to show power or be a criminal. Now real power is with politician, and crininals become politicians. There is also corruption. The higher posts are occupied by castes in higher levels. There has to be a way to create a level playing field and that is not to stop corruption but force the bureaucrats to take bribes from all sections of the society. For that you need criminals as leaders. So OBC, other backward communities (official name) and communities in lower level elect leaders with criminal background. The communities in the top level have their members in bureaucracy and they are "influential".
