What are the condition necessary for the successful functioning of democracy
Answers
All of us use the word ‘democracy’ on different occasions. Knowingly or unknowingly we also experience and practice democracy in our life. For example, we participate in Panchayat, Assembly and Parliamentary elections and cast our votes; some of us participate in political campaigns; take part in discussions related to public transactions; raise voices against corrupt officials; some of us approach the court for justice if denied by Government offices; Most of us also have heard about different communities like Dalits and Tribal groups coming out on the streets demanding political rights for them. We have also heard about strikes and other measures of agitation adopted by government employees. Everyday in the news papers and also on television channels we find a lot of criticism against the government. We have also seen many a political leader coming to the people asking for votes on the eve of elections. But, all these activities are not possible in all countries
