Report on Prerequisites of Successful Working of Democracy

Democracy is not only an ideal or a goal but also essentially a functioning system which therefore has to be built up on constructing arrangement. In other words, democracy is an objective that countries strive to attain in an apparently endless process of evolution. In this process the form, shape and content of democracy may vary from environment to environment and thus no two democracies can be regarded as totally similar.
