Answers
Answer:
A true democracy is one where there is no poverty. But this has not been achieved by and democratic nation including India.
The weaknesses in the democracy of India:
• The existence of corruption and lack of accountability in public institution weakens the democracy.
• Lack of transparency in agendas and funding of political parties.
• Though there are laws to put control of corruption, yet there is a lack of implementation
• The citizens in India are not motivated towards taking part in election, i.e. casting of votes. The election is a key feature of the democracy and abstaining from voting the citizens run away from their duties.
• Even if the people cast their votes, they remain unaware of the candidates' profile, which reduces the accountability of the contestants.
