Democracy


Democracy is not just a system of governance rather it’s a system of social existence. Governance is not the primary purpose or the end, rather social co-existence is the end. Democracy is the way to that co-existence. All other measures aiming at providing governance to the society will prove to be inadequate. Society knows itself as being composed of diverse tendencies so the thought of governing itself is the outcome of the introspection by the society. Democracy, keeping aside the way it is to be executed, is the ideal because it has the society at its core, with the conglomeration of social tendencies and intentions. The need for governance is inherent in the society owing to its diversity and this need cannot be satisfactorily served unless the governance is inclusive i.e. unless it is democratic.
