Key Points: Democracy: A Continuous Process

  • Democracy is a continuous and living process that needs constant alertness and effort.
  • Mere adoption of democracy is not enough; it must be actively practised and protected.
  • Many nations claim to be democratic, but true democracy, which protects rights and welfare, is limited.
  • Democracy should become a way of life, not just voting, elections and institutions.
  • Values like freedom, equality, justice, peace and human dignity must be practised to strengthen democracy.
