It is fact that our democracy is a fractured one. This is not surprising because democracy is an alien concept for Indians. We lived under monarchy for least 5000, or so, years whereas democracy has been installed here only for last sixty years. It will take a lot of education and many generations before we become truly democratic.
But every thing is not so negative about our democracy. (1) Democracy is key to defusing unrest over the messiness of India's economic transformation. It is also central to India's ability to compete for attention and investments with larger, faster China, to its claim to nuclear legitimacy, and to its access to international sympathy in its struggle with terrorism. (2) I have personally been witness to a rise of a new affluent middle class. These are lawyers, doctors, CAs, engineers, judges, scientists and other professionals whose parents used to make a living out of being sweepers and scavengers. This is entirely due to the blessings of Indian democracy ...more
