DEMOCRACY IN THE 21ST CENTURY: AN EXPERIENCE
Dr. Farah Naaz
Abstract :
The Democracy has been celeated as one of the best form of government globally. However, still in many countries this best form of government is not followed; and the struggle of the people is going on, in support of it. In case of our country (India), which is called as the largest democracy in the world, the story of nearby 70 years of our independence is a mixed bag. Of course, when we got independence there are many political pundits who predicted that we’ll eak up and cannot stay united (the reason being our diversity, in terms of languages, religion, castes etc). However, we prove them wrong and stand as a one of the good example for many countries, which are having more or less same characteristics like us. Here, it’s very necessary to say that, still our democracy has to go long way. As rightly said by historian Ramachandra Guha, as a “nation–state, India is 80 per cent successful but as a democracy, perhaps only 50 per cent.” Thus, this paper was divided into two sections, the first one deal iefly with the global experience of democracy, while the last part deals with Indian democracy.
