India is the second most populous country and largest democracy. It has three main political parties and is still developing. Several factors influence India's democracy, including religion, caste, population, development, and regions. Religion plays an important role, and political parties often appeal to different religious groups. Caste also affects politics, and parties draw support from specific castes. India's large and growing population poses challenges. While economic growth has been rapid in some areas, slow growth contributed to votes against some governments. Corruption is seen as an inevitable outcome of India's democratic system, though it undermines good governance.
