    Does democracy in India meet these expectations?

    Answer:

    Democracy in India does not fairly meet these expectations:
    (i) Our democracy has not got a reasonable success in eliminating poverty. More that 22 per cent people are still living under poverty line in India.
    (ii) There are certain areas and regions like Bihar, West Bengal, Orissa where people do not get proper food, clothing and shelter to live a reasonably tolerable social life.
    (iii) The literacy level of our country is still low. About 40 per cent children are not going to school up to middle standard. Only 10 to 15 per cent Indians have opportunities of higher education.
    (iv) Unemployment is still existing, even educated as well as uneducated Indians are facing the problem of unemployment and under employment.
    (v) Problem of "Gender division" is one of the important manifestations of Indian democratic society. Girls or daughters are still not liked by most of the parents. The evil practices of female infanticide and insecticide are not yet checked. Dowry deaths are still prevailing in India. Besides, our democratic government has not got reasonably expected success in crushing the terrorist activities and anti-social elements.
    All these show that Indian democracy has not come up to the reasonable expectations. Thus, it has still to go a long way to achieve the reasonable success.
