By Abraham Lincoln it is "Government for the people, of the people and by the people"
In a democratic set-up people get fundamental rights. They, at a certain interval, exercise their right to adult franchise by casting their votes and chose the government of their own choice.
It is also said that Democracy is the bwst system of governance when it comes to adopt the policy of accommodation. India has successfully accomodated the multi-cultural society of India.
But ,democracy is not a perfect system as it has some negative attributes also.
The decisions are delayed because of debate and discussion. Parties indulge in divisive tactics to seek votes.
But as said it is 'better late than never' the delay is worth in making more acceptable and suitable decisions.
I also like Democracy and am proud of being a citizen of the world's largest democracy India.
Firstly let us understand what is democracy
A government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.
In simple democracy people's government.
Democracy is better than other form of government because.
∆ It protects the interests of citizens.
∆ It promotes equality.
∆ It generally takes a stable decision.
Though India became a free nation on August 15, 1947, it declared itself a Sovereign, Democratic and Republic state with the adoption of the Constitution on January 26, 1950. The Constitution gave the citizens of India the power to choose their own government and paved the way for democracy.
India has a federal form of government, and hence each state also has its own government. The executive of each state is the Governor whose role is ceremonial. The real power resides with the Chief Minister and the state council of ministers.
Other examples of democratic nations are
- Finland
- Iceland
