Answer:
Explanation:
india is a democratic republic as stated in the Preamble of the constitution of india.
Being democratic means the rule of people , which here means the majority rule. Now to have a democratic rule you have to act on the wishes of the people , which means ideally everybody should be a part of law making and governance of India, But India was highly illiterate when it got freedom so direct democracy was avoided and indirect representative democracy was preferred.
India is a republic. Being a republic does not simply means that “head of state is elected “. It is more associated with the rule of Law. Now what is rule of law in a democratic system ?? Suppose in a democratic setup a majority of people , say 80, are strongly opposed to ideology of minority and consequently decide that they are incorrect , so they be punished or probably kill them ( and it is not an exaggeration, it actually happened with socrates who had to drink hemlock due majority of people founding him guilty ). Now here comes the rule of Law , which will protect the citizen as “ everybody has a right to fair trial before punishing him /killing him)-(corresp to Right to Life in India ). SO being republic State will interfere to protect its minority citizens from the brunt of majority i.e. democracy
WE always talk about democracy , but It is the republic feature which protects the democracy from being behaving in a violent manner. If it is not the republic , Democracy might turn to anarchy and then oligarchy .
These Fundamental rights and judiciary just provide the republic character of indian polity. US always talked about the republic feature to stabilise its polity.
