What is your opinion about democracy in India?

Ever since Independence, India has practiced a democratic system of government. The demand for democracy has been evident from the colonial period. One of the greatest successes is that even after so many differences, India has remained to be one.

India is considered as the largest democracy of the world. The elections are conducted in a free and fair manner. There is no manipulation of votes. The three branches of government, all of which are independent maintains a check on each other. Thus no organ of the government can trespass its limits. The mandate of the people stands above all. The participation of the people makes democracy a success.

India has the longest constitution in the world. The document grants certain fundamental rights to its citizens. Freedom of expression is one of the key features of democracy.

The policies of the government are designed to uplift the backward and the disadvantaged communities. For example, Reservation policy aims to bring an end to caste discrimination.

However, still, India has to go a long way. It faces a number of challenges. Illiteracy, poverty, unemployment, child labour, gender discrimination are the core areas on which the government should focus. Corruption must be also dealt. Only then can we enjoy the fruits of democracy.
