MaxineThe Indian democracy is a legacy of the British Raj. As Britain gave up its empire and granted independence to its former colonies, it tried to do this by establishing democratic governments for the new countries, modeled on the mother of parliaments that had proved so successful for Britain. Sometimes these new countries reverted to (military) dictatorships, but overall the model has worked, especially so for India which is now the largest democracy (by population) on Earth.
