We can’t think of success in democracy unless all people are educated. Democracy is by the people, of the people, for the people. But only a democracy which is by the educated people for the educated people and of the educated people can be successful. Otherwise democracy may be transformed into an oligarchy or aristocracy. Education for all is the need of the day in India.
Yet, India is the largest democracy in the world. No country in the world is in a position to run a democratic government with such a huge population. Just imagine, as if the whole Europe is a single country. Can they make a single democracy possible? Most probably they won’t. And here in India we have made it possible though we have more population than the whole Europe. Even after having so many differences, we are proud to be the largest democracy in the world. The chief of the political party in power is a Christian. The president is a woman. We also had a Muslim president in the last term. The Prime Minister of our country is Sikh. I think no where in the world we will find a democracy led by people with such diversity. Is there any way to make Indian democracy more effective so that we can feel more and more proud?
