Indian democracy
Mehdi Mamoon, Pallabi, Dhaka
India, a big, strong, stable democracy , peacefully conducted the elections. It is not the only election India has managed in a democratic atmosphere. Previously, a number of elections to the legislative bodies were held.India has been practising democracy without any hindrance for 57 years after the British left the country. It has become customary in India that political parties respect other political parties and they expect the same from their rivals, although a few exception are there , but with no eventual effect on the total democratic picture of India. We have the caretaker government system in Bangladesh. But has any one really noticed that the system is the result of mutual distrust? And that goes against the basic principles of democracy.
