They developed to protect individual interests simultaneously with order and coordinated progress, making it the best system for India’s development. Tailor-made for India, it has emerged as a consistent and direct affirmation of the solemn pledge to an egalitarian, liberal, and assimilative society. --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/113589/why-do-we-have-democracy-in-india Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
