Question

what is the difference in indian morden democracy

Answer 1

Democracy in modern India is based on certain principles:

(1) That every individual has his potentialities, worth, and dignity;

(2) That everyone has the capacity to learn and manage his life with others;

(3) That an individual must abide by the decisions of the majority;

(4) That every individual should have a part in making decisions;

(5) That the control and direction of democratic action lies in the situation and not outside it;

(6) That the process of living is interactive and that all individuals work towards com­monly recognised ends; and

(7) That democracy rests on individual opportunity as well as individual responsibility.

After independence, India decided to have democratic political sys­tem. This system is characterised by three elements: one, there is a high degree of autonomy; two, economic agents and religious organisations are free from political interference; and three, competition between various orders does not endanger integration but helps it.
