a good introduction about popular struggles and movement
Answers
Political Parties: Some organizations directly participate in the democratic process. These organizations are called political parties. They contest elections and aim to form government.
Pressure Groups: Some organizations indirectly participate in the democratic process. These organizations are called interest groups or pressure groups.
Pressure Groups and Movements
Pressure groups do not aim to form or run the government. When people of common occupation, interest aspirations or opinions come together; in order to achieve a common objective; they form pressure groups. These pressure groups carry on popular movements in order to meet their objectives. It is not necessary that all the pressure groups go on creating popular movements rather many of them work in closely knit groups.
Some examples of popular movements in India are: Narmada Bachao Andolan, Movement for Right to Information, Anti-liquor Movement, Women’s Movement, Environmental Movement.
Sectional Interest Groups and Public Interest GroupsSectional Interest Groups: Usually interest groups seek to promote the interests of a particular section or group of society. Trade unions, business associations and professional (lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc.) bodies are some examples of this type. They are sectional because they represent a section of society: workers, employees, businesspersons, industrialists, followers of a religion, caste group, etc. Their principal concern is the betterment and well being of their members, not society in general.
Public Interest Groups: These second type of groups are called promotional groups or public interest groups. They promote collective rather than selective good. They aim to help groups other than their own members. Trade Unions, Students’ Union, Ex-Armymen Association, etc. are examples of public interest groups.
Pressure Groups' and Movements' Influence on Politics:Public Sympathy: They try to gain public support and sympathy for their goals and their activity. For this, they carry information campaigns, organise meetings, file petitions, etc. Many of them also try to influence the media to get more attention.
Protest Activity: They often organise protest activity. Protest activities include like strikes or disrupting government programmes. Strikes and disruptions are utilized to pressurize the government to take note of their demand.
Lobbying: Business groups often employ professional lobbyists or sponsor expensive advertisements. Some persons from pressure groups or movement groups may participate in official bodies and committees that offer advice to the government. Some professional bodies; like ASSOCHAM and NASSCOM are examples of such groups.
Influence on Political Parties: The interest groups and movement try to influence political parties. They usually have a particular political ideology and political position on major issues. A pressure group can be directly or indirectly linked to a political party.
a :- Most of the trade unions and students’ unions in India are directly affiliated to some or the other major political party. The activists of such pressure groups are usually the activists or leaders of the party.b;- Sometimes, political parties grow out of movements. Asom Gana Parishad is a good example. It originated from students’ movement in Assam which was against the ‘outsiders’ working in Assam. The two main political parties of Tamil Nadu; DMK and AIADMK; originated because of a long drawn social reform movement during the 1930s and 1940s. The latest entrant; the AAP is another example; which originated from the RTI movement.
c:- But in most of the cases, the relationship between political parties and interest or movement groups is not so direct. They usually take positions which are opposed to each other. However, they maintain dialogue and negotiation. Many issues raised by movement groups are often taken up by political parties. Many new leaders in the political parties come from interest or movement groups.

Individuals everywhere throughout the world have activated themselves to compose developments to re-establish popular government or to reinforce the current democratic system.
The development of April 2006 was gone for recovering mainstream control over the govt from the ruler.
Different political gatherings met up for a typical point of expelling King Gyanendra.They needed reclamation of vote based system from tyrannical ruler albeit each of them needed power for their possessed party and did not have any desire to give away energy to another political gathering.
Well-known battles happen when the nation is experiencing move to democracy, development of democratic or developing of majority rule government.
Democratic clash is settled through mass preparation. Once in a while, it is conceivable that the contention is settled by utilizing the current organizations like Parliament or the law. Be that as it may when there is a profound question all the time these establishments themselves get included in the debate. The determination needs to originate from outside, from the general population.
