Question

Do you think democracy has achieved its goal in india?

Answer 1

Answer:

Democracy is for the people, by the people and of the people, as quoted by Abraham Lincoln. In a democratic country the laws are made for the people. However, in this aspect India can be safely declared to be a minimally lawful country. Laws are bought and sold here depending on the financial strength of the rich people involved. According to the constitutional law expert John P. Frank, “Under no circumstances should the State impose additional inequalities. It should be required to deal equally and evenly with all of its people”. Unfortunately, such conditions do not prevail in India. Even a simple constitutional right of a common citizen, the Right to Information Act (RTI) is often a farce in this country.

So, from the above brief analysis, it appears that most of the conditions that make democracy a success are absent in India. But owing to a long struggle against imperialism, an anti-imperialist, anti fascist and anti-authoritarian outlook has developed in India. The masses by and large seem to be aware that democracy is the only choice for them. Communism has proved to be a failure and, let alone India, it will not work even in Heaven.
