Abstract

In the early years after independence, predictions were made that the Indian political system would eventually collapse because of the country’s diverse population and low per capita income. India however has proven its critics wrong and shown the world that democracy has not only thrived and been sustained but has also deepened. Thus, from a procedural point of view, India has achieved the goal of establishing democracy and in 2014 completed its fourteenth Lok Sabha elections without hindrance. However, as far as substantive democracy and the trajectory of human development are concerned, some of the hopes and aspirations have been only partly realised and others dashed while some developmental indices show that India has underperformed in terms of governance, political participation and political culture.
