Question

Trace the growth of democracy in India since independence.

Answer 1

Democracy is a government system where citizens directly exercise their power or elect representatives from amongst themselves as a governing body such as a parliament. It is also called "majority rule"

Explanation:

• India is the world 's largest democracy. India became a 'colonial republic' after its independence in 1947. The Indian people then had the right to vote and to elect their representatives. It authorises the citizens, regardless of ethnicity, colour, ideology, religion and sex, to vote in India. It has five political principles: independent, secular, socialist, constitutional and socialist.
• Democracy lies like a golden thread inside the civil, economic and political system of the Constitution "We Indians." The theory of democracy as established in the Constitution demands that the people be governed by parliamentary elections and the state legislatures.
• The Supreme Court ruled that democracy is a central part of the system of freedom. The Indian Constitution has taken the form of an assembly. The Chairman of India has two houses — Rajya Sabha & Lok Sabha. India has independent national assemblies for each country as a Union of States. The governor and two parliamentarians are the administration of the State — the Executive and Legislative Council.
• But in modern India, democracy is faced with various challenges that have to be solved to ensure real democracy. This includes social and economic disparity, homelessness and unemployment, analphabetism, colonialism, Casteism, Communalism, demographic development, regionalism, populism and ideology.
• The modern political economy was confronting Indian democracy. In the last three decades, strong growth has led to for the first time in Indian history the fourth largest number of billionaires in dollars and the third-largest middle class in the country.
• The political community must find innovative ways to walk on two sides of a democracy, with the classes with fewer and more wealth voting than groups with higher incomes: to preserve the dynamism of economic growth and to defend the people.
