Description
Democracy lies at the very core of every Indian's DNA. It animates our conversations, energizes our minds and brings out the best and, occasionally, the worst in us. The more deprived we are, the poorer we are, the more alienated we are, the more we participate and are protective of our country's elections and democracy. Every time democracy comes under attack, the Indian voter fights back at election time. The saga of Indian elections is the story of the triumph of freedom. The Indian voter is always ahead of the politician, constantly pushing, punishing and teaching the latter a lesson or two when necessary. While democracy is in the DNA of our voters, it is the voter and not the politician who is at the core of our democracy.
