 PROSPECTS OF DEMOCRACY IN INDIA 

                                                                                  -- Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

            “Prospects of Democracy in India” is an essay written by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian constitution.  In this essay, he discusses the hurdles for the success of democracy in India.

            Ambedkar says that Parliamentary form of government does not itself ensure democracy.  The root of democracy lies in a harmonious society. But, in India, caste system divides people into hostile groups.  Therefore, democracy is endangered by the caste system.  

            Ambedkar opines that education can be a means to end the Caste System, if it is provided to the lower castes of the society.  If the education is used to create awareness and confidence among the suppressed, then only caste system can be abolished.
