2) Types:

- Parliamentary (India, UK) vs Presidential (USA).
3) Salient Features of Democracy:
- Popular sovereignty (ultimate power with people).
- Universal Adult Franchise (18+, one person one vote one value).
- Rule of Law (law above everyone).
- Free and fair elections at regular intervals.
- Fundamental Rights and independent judiciary.
- Accountable, responsive and transparent government.
- Protection of minorities, secularism, pluralism.
- Federalism and decentralisation (local government).
4) Why Democracy?
- Ensures legitimacy through people’s consent.
- Protects rights, dignity, and freedoms.
- Allows peaceful change of government.
- Corrects mistakes through institutions.
- Promotes equality and participation.
5) Democracy in India and the World:
- India adopted universal adult franchise from 1950 itself.
- Spread globally after World War II, decolonisation, and post-1990 democratic wave.
- Examples: Chile (dictatorship to democracy), Poland (Solidarity movement), Nepal (people’s movement 2006).
- Challenges remain: corruption, communalism, uneven participation, money and muscle power.
