Bhuban-da,
I do not think that he was saying that democracy per say is bad ---only that in India politics needs to be overhauled. He has done much for that himself.

Mr Lyngdoh said: "The present rot in our polity is the result of the electoral politics we are practising in our country. Elections have done great harm to the country. The electoral interests of the politicians are dividing the people more and more. Politicians are specialising in all ethnic and caste problems. They dont want to solve the problems. This may push one to surmise that perhaps democracy has done more harm than good to the country."

As far as I know he was not a retired judge but an IAS officer who was made a Chief Election Commissioner of Indiar, a job carrying the status of a High Court judge. But he made his mark as an outstanding Election Commissioner.You're also right that there had not been an outstanding all India statesman till today from among the Khasis that we know of. But you never know because Meghalaya, in this case the Garo Hills, produced an outstanding national leader, Purna Sangma.RegardsBhuban_______________________________________________
