Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Use dmy dates Democracy in India is the largest by population in the world.[1][2] Elections in India started with the 1951–52 Indian general election.

Democratic backsliding

History

Шаблон:See also Early Shakyas, Koliyas, Mallakas, and Licchavis claim assemblies open to all men, rich and poor,[10] which could be considered a form of direct democracy. Other [[Sangha (Buddhism)|Шаблон:Transliteration]]s and [[gana|Шаблон:Transliteration]]s had councils of unelected nobles, which don't meet the standards of democracy. Greek historian Diodorus writes two centuries after the time of Alexander the Great about democratic states in India,[11] but lacks evidence for elections considering the word "democracy" around the 3rd century BCE could mean any autonomous state.[12][13] Later in 10th century the election of local representatives for the village bodies during the Chola Empire is claimed in Vaikunda Perumal Temple's inscriptions.[14][15][16]
