The superlative India-"Largest Democracy" 

Today we are just a day away from a day which could mark the beginning of a change in India. A change that India cant afford to dodge anymore if it has to become a real Superpower. India’s recognition at the world stage is nothing to doubt for. Today the world hardly talks serious without India. Nations across the globe very seldom plan their strategies without keeping in view its effects on relationship with India. So you can simply say that the world has seen and recognized the changing India.

              But the saddest part lies in the fact that there still lies a world inside India which has been perennially deprived to feel the changing India of which they are inseparable part of. We have landed in 66^th year of India’s independence, saw variety of positive and negative changes during this period. Governments form, run or ruin the nation and go just to give a chance to the next political party standing in the line to run or ruin the nation. And the children are taught in very bold letters in their civics book that India is the largest democracy in the world. Is it?

                The answer lies in this short story for you- a villager rooted a banyan tree so that when it will become large it will protect them from sun in scorching summer. The tree grown up to be the largest in the village and suddenly dried for some reasons and remained a structure with no leaves on it. Hence it becomes a useless tree for the villagers as it was not benefitting them in any manner even though it was the largest tree in the village.

                The state of Indian democracy is no different. It is the same as of that banyan tree which is despite being the largest remains useless.
