🗳️ Democracy and the Election Process in India
India is the world’s largest democracy, and elections are the heart of it. The Election Commission of India ensures free, fair, and peaceful elections.
Steps in the Election Process:
- Dates announced
- Voter list updated
- Nomination of candidates
- Campaigning and manifestos
- Secret voting via Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs)
- Counting and results declaration
🧠 Political Parties in a Democracy – Backbone or Problem?
Political parties are essential in a democratic system. They:
- Nominate candidates
- Form governments or opposition
- Voice public concerns
📌 But jab no party wins a majority, we see alliances, sometimes based more on politics than public good — yehi hai real game of this form of rule.
👥 The Role of the Opposition in a Democracy
Here the opposition is like a watchdog 🐕 — they:
- Question the government
- Protect people’s rights
- Prevent dictatorship
In the UK, opposition is even called the Shadow Cabinet.
🌏 Types of Party Systems in Democracies
| Party System | Feature | Example |
|---|---|---|
| One-party | Only one allowed | China |
| Two-party | Two major parties | USA |
| Multi-party | Multiple parties | India 🇮🇳 |
Each has pros and cons. India’s multi-party system allows variety, but also political instability kabhi kabhi.
