Those who agitate against a misconducting priest are not against GOD. Indian constitution is devine, no one is objecting it's greatness. But what to do when priest is misconducting? Unfortunately constitution with its divinity and parliament as sacred legislative house cannot themselves offer governance to any society. There got be a functional government made up of competent people, capable of being representative as well as authoritative to uphold traditions of a particular parliamentary system.
And the process of selecting such competent people is crucial to make this system work for any society. Such process can't be mere a competency assessment test or proportional representation. First of all this got to be peaceful and then workable, innovative and above of all mutable. Democracy suggests majority vote as one of the mechanisms through which this process can be exercised peacefully. Founding fathers of our nation suggested a workable solution in the form of a ballot which in fact was a popular form of practice prevailed at that time. And in last 60+ years the only improvement we could do is to convert a paper ballet to an electronic one. But we somehow caught in an impression that this process is immutable. Voting system can't be the only possible solution for this process.
Current day advances in network technology can offer more practical solutions for this problem. And the scope of the solution need not limit to electing but could also include selecting the candidates for election. And how can we make selection of a candidate a continuous process and election a periodic process say once in every 5 years?
