Democracy in India is only partially realized due to several issues. Voting rights are in the hands of the public but external forces sometimes influence elections. Multiple political parties have emerged but lack unity. Democratic structures have also been damaged by low voter turnout. Public awareness of how democracy functions is lacking, and communication gaps exist between voters and elected representatives. Remote, underdeveloped areas face additional challenges in understanding democracy due to issues like illiteracy and poverty. For India to have a true democracy, it requires further development and addressing problems like lack of education, awareness of rights and duties, and external influences that interfere in elections.

1. Oftentimes we hear around us a word democracy specially in terms of our nation
& similar countries. In real sensewhatit is described for? is that proved true in
India? Beforestudying it in detail ,we define it as the systemof governancewhere
people elect their representatives via public voting procedureto govern country.
Is that really useful& applicable in nation, we can say yes but partially either due
to voting right is in public hands but directed by internal or external forces to
elect by forcing others for a specific person or somewhereabsencefrompolls .
And fully applicable where public without any obstacle elect own choice
representative to govern.
Itis justbecause, where it is partially applicable ,may be due to root got damaged
gave riseto severalplants withoutgreen leaves, flowers, fruits of unity which is
seen in the formof emergence of severalpolitical parties.
Second reason more important where democratic structureis destructed due to
ignoranceof participation in elections.
Why it is so , may be becausepublic not so awareeither due to elected
representatives fail in creating confidence& faith in voters & a separation line is
there between both so that they can’t be open for their problems with each
other & a democratic systemis seen as a bureaucratic & majority oriented long
official systemor communication gaps & innocence regarding facts of governing
procedure& complications of systemmay create it.
Question arise, is it dangerous for futureelected system? May be or can be said
definitely so need to have attention more on this. On the other hand, leaders &
representatives blame that voters remind only right to speak, write & other ways
in they demand but forget to listen duties & exact meaning of democracy remain
hidden in spite of having knowledgeof nation’s constitution.

2. India is said to be a secular, socialist & democratic republic where democracy
direct or indirect is connected with above other characters too with voters
mentality is depend on society, relations, constitution awareness & religious
unity.
Lack of any of these characters may cause disturbancein such a joint structure
can change the mindset of each individual those who disturbing & those who are
electing .
Ignoranceaboutsystem may works with illiteracy to distinguish good bad,
democratic ,nondemocratic words or may be due to no confidence &
dissatisfaction with policies. Here others force& convinceto vote for a specific
person or political party becausethey are totally unknown abouttheir names too
before come in light during elections.
Remote areas with distance fromall types of development & individual voter is
even can’t earn per day for his basic needs so in that situation ,is that can have
knowledgeof word democracy? So is that nation can maintain democracy fully?
In the conclusion, we can say that democracy is totally based on the percentage
of development of that nation that’s why few developed countries are strictly full
democratic, few developing are 75%, ,few half & may few nil.
