Major challenges are :

The main challenge to democracy in India is the  challenge of expansion.

Decentralisation of powers and applying the  basic principle of democratic government  across all the regions, have been developed;  but still more is to be done. Inclusion of women  and minority groups is still a challenge. All the  decisions should be in the arena of democratic  control. To get this thing to be done and possess  is a big challenge.

(ii) Federalism and its functions
