  From my perception-It cant be implemented in present India where caste and religion play a major role but it may happen in next generation India.
  Yes we need to set basic qualifications for candidates who contest for election.
  I dont think it can change the status of India But can develop india in a self fullfilled way.

  Well I think that the current system will never let India transform into its next generation. The new generation politicians are still focused on implementing Divide and Rule strategy for the vote banks.

  Frankly speaking, democracy in any of its forms is farce. There's nothing called democracy. Why? Because 'majority wins' isn't the right approach to solving problems all the times. All you need is a benevolent dictator! I'm totally anti-democracy because in so called 'democratic' nations, the real rulers are the biggest corporate houses and business people who fund the parties.
  
  Even in USA, have a look at the corporations that are backing the GOP and Democrats. You'll find the same names backing both the parties.
  
  I'd prefer the older systems of management - where every city / region is independently managed by its own people. But that's not possible in current situation.

  Well i partially agree with this. But there is no other form of government which can ever be accepted in any republican. Thus the idea of 2-party and multi-party comes in picture.

  And no offense, but I dont think there is even one person on this planet who is even fit to be a true benevolent dictator of any country. Handling lives of millions on one person doesnt seem justice.
  
  
  Off the record, I m a "Kemal Pasha" fan. 😀

  I only stated what is 'needed'. Finding the right leader is another task. Otherwise, the nations will die their own death.

  Two party system is possible only if the language barrier is completely removed in a nation Country like India it is not feasible cos of the language barriers
  
  But If we have a two party system there is a lot of bane as we will not be having an alternative if we are not satisfied with both the system

  You dont have an alternative even now. No party can attain an absolute majority. this is the reason we can think something past it. Of course, the language barrier point is completely legit but think of the development and transparency it will offer.

  Transparency can't be achieved With this set up as well
  
  The ratio of our population to the number of people governing us is too low and this makes us have lesser role in the administration of our nation

  Well if you are talking about active participation of the people and absolute transparency then the self-governing model is the best. This is active in villages and remote areas even now. This is the same thing #-Link-Snipped-# was talking about. But this is not possible. At least in 2-party system, the voters won't be confused on the name of religion/caste/section and other useless politics but rather focus on voting for the better qualified guy. Right now, we have MPs who have a longer rap sheet than their age. We have "unacceptable" people winning on the name of tribal politics and vote bank and this is more degrading. In 2-party system, they won't have a choice but rather than give ticket to the actually deserving candidate.

  Deserving candidate can't be defined in the current scenario How many of us know each and every active social worker in our location.
  
  Too much population in the urban metros has made brand name advertising much easier than to bringing out a single leader of the mass

  Deserving cannot be determined by the way you are thinking- identifying the personnel. But there are better ways and fool proof ways of determining a candidate for eligibility to contest elections in a 2-party system. Like an autonomous institute to be set up linked to election board which conducts exams and gives them a certificate of eligibility. There can be a clause like, a person aspiring to apply for a post in finance ministry is supposed to have a degree in that same field. So we won't be seeing any more LLBs "Mr Lalu" running the largest employer in the world viz The Railways.
