Democracy is a system of government elected by the people as the power of the government is vested in the people. In a study conducted by the Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan and National Taiwan and Chengchi Universities, democracy can bring about a positive and friendly attitude towards outgroups. The main reason for this tolerance or positive attitude is that democracy lets people practice their rights to use power and to accept various opinions. The best example of a country that proved democracy can help in building the root foundation of unity in India.

The root of democracy in India began when India and Pakistan partitioned the countries based on religious majority. Once India was separated from Pakistan, India conducted the first-ever elections in the year 1951. This was one of the remarkable movements because most of the people in India were uneducated and therefore, the entire world was waiting to see how the people of India would be successful in this event. India proved to the world that through democracy or in other words when people are vested with rights and power, it is possible to obtain a powerful nation. The Congress party won the elections and Jawaharlal Nehru became the first Prime Minister of India.

It was noted that the Congress party established the vision of democracy and this attracted people to vote for them. After elections, the party ensured that the governance was favored the people and not against them. Even today, the people of India follows democracy because the country contains diverse people of various languages, culture, religion, and traditions. It is not possible to favor one religion or culture but rather help each other to grow as one country and this is how democracy brings a positive attitude.
