First of all, democracy refers to a system of government where
the citizens exercise power by voting. Democracy holds a special
place in India. Furthermore, India without a doubt is the biggest
democracy in the world. Also, the democracy of India is derived
from the constitution of India. After suffering at the hands of
British colonial rule, India finally became a democratic nation in
1947. Most noteworthy, Indian democracy since independence
is infused with the spirit of justice, liberty, and equality.
Features of Indian Democracy
Sovereignty is a vital feature of Indian democracy. Sovereignty
refers to the full power of a governing body over itself without
outside interference. Moreover, people can exercise power
in Indian democracy. Most noteworthy, people of India elect their
representatives. Moreover, these representatives remain
responsible for common people.

The democracy in India works on the principle of political


equality. Furthermore, it essentially means all citizens are equal
before the law. Most noteworthy, there is no discrimination on the
basis of religion, caste, creed, race, sect, etc. Hence, every Indian
citizen enjoys equal political rights.

Rule of the majority is an essential feature of Indian democracy.


Moreover, the party which wins the most seats forms and runs the
government. Most noteworthy, no-one can object to support of the
majority.

Another feature of Indian democracy is federal. Most noteworthy,


India is a union of states. Furthermore, the states are somewhat
autonomous. Moreover, the states enjoy freedom in certain
matters.

Collective responsibility is a notable feature of Indian democracy.


The council of Ministers in India is collectively responsible to
their respective legislatures. Therefore, no minister alone is
responsible for any act of their government.

Indian democracy works on the principle of formation of opinion.


Furthermore, the government and its institutions must work on the
basis of public opinion. Most noteworthy, public opinion must be
formed on various matters in India. Moreover, the Legislature of
India provides an appropriate platform to express public opinion.

Ways to Strengthen Democracy in India


First of all, people must stop having a blind belief in the media.
Many times the news reported by media is out of context and
exaggerated. Most noteworthy, some media outlets may propagate
the propaganda of a particular political party. Therefore, people
must be careful and cautious when accepting media news.
Another important way to strengthen the Indian democracy is to
reject the consumer mentality in elections. Several Indians
view national elections like consumers buying a product. Most
noteworthy, elections should make Indians feel like participants
rather than separatists.

People in India should make their voices heard. Furthermore,


people must try to communicate with their elected official all year-
round instead of just during elections. Therefore, citizens must
write, call, email, or attend community forums to communicate
with their elected official. This would surely strengthen Indian
democracy.

Huge voter turnouts is really an efficient way to strengthen


democracy in India. People must avoid hesitation and come out to
vote. Most noteworthy, large voter turnout would signify a
substantial involvement of the common people in Indian politics.

In conclusion, the democracy in India is something very precious.


Furthermore, it is a gift of the patriotic national leaders to the
citizens of India. Most noteworthy, the citizens of this country
must realize and appreciate the great value of democracy. The
democracy in India is certainly unique in the world.
