(10)
The strength of Indian Democracy lies in it's tradition. In the fusion of the ideas
of Democracy and national independence which was characteristics of the Indian Nationalist
movement long before independence. Although the British retained supreme authority in
India until 1947, the provisional clection of 1937 provided real exercise in democratic
practice before national independence, during the pacific war India was not yet
seriously invaded by the Japanese and after the war was over the transfer of power to
government of the Indian Congress party was a peaceful one as far as Britain was concerned
By 1947 Indianization had already gone far in the Indian Civil Service and army so that the
new government could start with effective instruments of central control.
After independence however India was faced with two vast problems the first tha
of economic growth from a very low level of production and the second that of ethnic
diversity and the aspiration of sub-nationalities. The congress leadership was more aware of
the former problem than of the second, as a new political clite which had rebelled not only
against the British Raj but also against India's old social order. They were conscious of the
need to initiate economic development and undertake social reformers but as nationalists
who had led a struggle against alien rule on behalf of all parts of India, they took the cohesion
of the Indian nation too much for granted and under estimated the centnfugal forces of
ethnic division which were bound to be accentuated rather than diminished as the popolar
masses were more and more drawn into politics. The congress party was originally opposed
to the idea of recognizing any division of India on a linguistic basis and preferred to mean the
old provinces of British India which often cut across linguistic boundaries. It was only in
response to strong pressures from below that the principle of linguistic states was conceded
as the basis for a federal Indian union. The rights granted to the states created new problems
for the central government. The idea of making Hindi the national language of a united India
was thawarted by the recalcitrance of the speakers of the other important Indian languages
and the autonomy of the states rendered central economic planning extremely difficult Land
reformers remained under the control of states and many large scale economic projects
required a degree of co-operation between the central government and one or more of the
states which it was found impossible to achieve. Co-ordination of policies was difficult even
when the congress party was in power both in the states at the centre when a congress
government in Delhi was confronted with non-congress parties in office in the states it
became much harder.
