Democracy, a form of governance, involves the participation of the populace in decision-making, either directly or indirectly through representation via free and regular elections. India's democracy is widely recognized as the largest on a global scale. Within a democratic framework, the authority and power reside with citizens or their chosen representatives, irrespective of the governing structure. Nonetheless, contemporary India faces numerous challenges to its democratic system, including disparities in social and economic spheres, unemployment, poverty, casteism, illiteracy, corruption, communalism, terrorism, and population growth. Addressing these challenges is imperative for India to maintain its status as a genuine parliamentary democracy. The study aims to delve into the existing democratic system within India and assess the influence of the Indian political setup on democracy. Furthermore, it suggests viable measures or adjustments that could enhance the resilience and durability of India's democratic system.
