India is considered the world's largest democracy. In short, a democracy is a system of government in which the citizens make governing decisions or elect representatives for that purpose. India became a democracy in 1950 when its Constitution went into effect. Let's look at some of the evidence for India being a democracy.
India practices universal suffrage. This means that all men and women age eighteen and over have the right to vote in elections. This applies regardless of race, religion, or caste. Voter turnout in the 2014 general election was at 66 percent, meaning that over 540 million Indians voted in that election.
India's government is based on a federalist model. This means that the various Indian states have united to form a single country with local, state, and national level of governments. Citizens have the right to elect officials and representatives at each level, although governors are appointed by the president. This is one of the most successful democratic models for any large country.
