Parliament's Decline into Rubber Stamp Culture

Parliament's Decline into Rubber Stamp Culture

Shashi Tharoor, a Member of Parliament, is worried about how the Indian Parliament is working these days.

He says that the government is passing important laws very quickly without enough discussion or input from other politicians or experts.

This includes laws about insurance, nuclear energy, and a program that helps people find work.

He thinks this is bad for democracy because it means the government is not listening to different opinions or considering all the possible problems with these laws.

He also points out that in the past, more laws were carefully examined by committees, but now that hardly happens.

He warns that if the government keeps doing this, people might protest because they feel their voices are not being heard.
