Explain any five challenges to democracy in india

Answered by admin @



Hey
my friend
The five major challenges to democracy in India are

1. Poverty: Poverty is one of the most serious challenges faced by Indian democracy. Majority of the population in India lives below the poverty line. The Government has launched many poverty eradication programmes over the years to counter this challenge.

2. Economic inequality: The distribution of economic opportunities in India is grossly uneven and skewed in favour of the privileged.

3. Casteism: Caste-based discrimination is still existent in India although the Constitution prohibits it in all its forms. Also, casteism has penetrated the arena of electoral activity resulting in the politics of vote banks.

4. Illiteracy: A large part of the population of India is illiterate. Those people who are illiterate are often unaware of their rights and duties as citizens and hence cannot contribute much to the democratic process.

5. Communalism: Although communal politics resulted in the partition of India, many political parties still indulge in politics of polarization which leads to hate mongering.
