"DEMOCRACY" means of the
people, by the people and for the people. Now-a-days, it is a common pattern of
the governments in the world. There may be some drawbacks, but is the best form
of government. Usually, there will be many parties in a democratic country.
India is a Democratic country.
Elections will be
conducted for every five years or four years in a democratic country. People
elect their own representatives. If a particular party gets majority seats, it
will rule the country. After the expiry of the period, the elections will be
conducted again. If the people do not like the party in power, they will elect
another party to power. This democratic system is taught to students in
colleges and universities. It is better to know, why the students are allowed
to participate in elections. Students are the future leaders. They must know
the responsibilities of conducting elections. Universities and colleges are
only training grounds. Therefore, it is a must to every university or college
to conduct elections.
In olden days,
people were ruled by dictators and kings. People had no direct had in the rule.
No elections were conducted. People were like slaves. That practice was
destroyed by revolutionary methods. Afterwards, single party rule came into
existence. That was also disliked by people in recent years. In democracy, people
participate directly. Anyone, rich or poor, educated or un-educated can
participate in elections. The elective members will have direct contact with
the people. They will know the needs of the people of that area. They discuss
the problems of people in the assembly or parliament. Whatever is good for
people will be implemented by the government. Therefore, in democracy anybody
can become a ruler.
