State of democracy in India

The State of Democracy in the World Democracy is a form of government in which the people hold power. It is based on the idea that all people are equal and have a say in how their country is run. Democracy is not perfect, but it is the best form of government that we have. In recent years, democracy has been under attack around the world. There has been an increase in authoritarian governments, and many countries have seen a decline in democratic freedoms.

The Election Commission of India announced the general election to the 15 th Lok Sabha on March 2, 2009. The elections will be held in 5 phases starting on April 26, 2009 and ending on May 13, 2009.

The major discussion points of our politicians are still around secularism. All of them favouring religious and communal elemen...

India is the land of many religions, languages and customs. Many philosophers are born here. Many religions started here. Modern India is the result of a division based on religious lines. The partition was succeeded by one of the worst human tragedies in world history. Mass migration and communal violence left millions dead. It also made scars in the minds of the people and even after half a century the wound are not healed. Religion and spirituality are very important for the Indians. From the history we can see that the successful rulers of the past understand the importance of tolerance among different sects and communities with different faith and customs. Emperor Ashoka (273 BC-232 BC) had been ruled a large centralized empire that ran from present day Afghanistan to Mysore in South India . Diverse communities, regions, cultures and sects inhabited in his empire had differences of opinion expressed in direct and antagonistic ways amongst the various religious sect...

Religious customs and social framework made possible the independent self-sufficient communal villages of ancient India . But the restrictions on travel, education, division of labor and social customs restricts people from acquiring skills necessary for the self improvement and social advancement. Division of labor among the members is necessary for a self-sufficient independent community. But this division should be based on skills and experience rather than color of the skin or family. The possibility to change labor and class will allow competition to acquire skills and further advance technological achievements. In ancient Indian society the system of social stratification and social restrictions was mainly based on labor alone...
