Democracy is never a new concept for the Indians. Its tradition goes back to the time of the Vedas and Upanishads. The traditional village Panchayat system still survives these days. It is an evidence of the continuous democratic tradition in India. However, democracy in India in those days is different from the present day. Its nature and content have undergone a revolutionary change and its scope is also limited. The way we understand democracy now, is a recent concept. In this sense the basic tenet of democracy is respect for and importance of the individual of man. Democracy in modern sense is a recent phenomenon in India. People in this sub-continent have developed democratic consciousness because of the impact of science and technology. People have developed self- confidence, being influenced by the democratic ideals. It is accepted by the people not only as a form of government, but as a way of life.
