DEMOCRACY IS A FORM OF GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE        IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY THERE WILL BE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, THOUGHT, ACTION AND BELIEF. PEOPLES' OPINION IS GIVEN MORE IMPORTANCE. THE ELECTIONS WILL BE HELD IN SELECTING THE RULERS. IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO CAST VOTE AND IT IS THEIR REPRESENTATIVES WHO RULE THE COUNTRY. HERE LIES THE IMPORTANCE OF DEMOCRACY. INDIA IS A SHINING EXAMPLE OF A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY.
