India opted for a democratic set up because during the freedom movement, our leaders made the commitment that India will become a democracy after independence. The independence movement was a mass movement. People from all walks of life from all over India participated in it. Hence, to respect the contribution of the people of India, our Constitution declared India to be a democracy in which every Indian citizen will be able to participate.
India has largely succeeded in remaining a democracy. We hold free and fair elections and ruling governments are frequently voted out. Outgoing governments respect the mandate of the people if they lose the election. They give up power to their opponents who have won the people's mandate in elections. This is the essence of a democracy and it remains true in India.
