60 Years of Parliament: Time to Quit?

Whether or not it has served its purpose over the last sixty years (both from perspectives of exalted idealism and pragmatic functionality), it has certainly outlived any use we might have had for it. The constitution of India is a piece of paper (or many pieces, after all we've done to it this last half century or so)all well and good for when it was written by a bunch of well meaning, optimistic folk from THE LAST CENTURY, IF NOT MILLENNIUM. They certainly did the best job possible keeping the technological constraints of their age in mind : when it wasn't possible to communicate from one end of this vast country to another in real time, the best solution for consensus was representation. So you picked a person you considered suitable for the job, and sent them far far way (a long time ago?) to some Xanadu (pronounced Dilli keeping in mind the various phonetic limitations of all the folks inhabiting this glorious land) and hoped, blind, for the next four years, that they were still alive and well, and doing a good job of voting for you as you would have voted for yourself on the issues that would determine how you were allowed to live your lives. Oh glorious age of blissful naivete and unblemished optimism and faith in the moral superiority of the chosen. Anyway, thanks to the lack of tech, most of them lived and died blissfully unaware of what was being done in their names [ah guiltless ignorance!]. Point is, it is now perfectly possible, and even feasible, to rule by plebiscite. Isn't it time to gently push this doddering mammoth from another era into the gigantic hole it has so thoughtfully dug for itself over the last sixty years and well and truly bury it. Mitti pa. I don't know about you, but I would rather pay my tax money (if and when I pay my taxes) to millions of young (or not) employable youth qualified for their jobs as technicians, linguists, statisticians or what have you (the whole army of folks that would be required to run a well oiled digital democracy by plebiscite) than paying for the privileged lifestyles of the current owners of this country, whose only qualifications for the job often end up being greater greed for the job and more ruthlessness than their opponents. Why am I paying to support, feed, clothe and send abroad first class with huge retinues these self-serving, short-sighted ossified folks none of whose policy decisions I agree with? For that matter, why are you? Plus have you noticed how its all feudalistic hereditary dynastic bull anyway? When you start identifying the folks in parliament one by one, its eerily reminiscent of a declining Mughal court or something - this one's nephew, and that one's daughter-in-law, or his grandson's wife's aunt's something or the other (the one's that married those industrialists).
