520			_aThis study aims to explore the evolving practice of democracy in contemporary India. While acknowledging recent challenges, the paper emphasizes the importance of reinvigorating the core democratic values that shape the lives of ordinary people. It underscores the need for a more substantive democratization that empowers people to fully engage with democracy’s vast potential, moving beyond a merely procedural understanding. By addressing key issues such as law and order, corruption, and poverty, the study underscores the opportunities for constructive activism and peaceful reform. However, the paper also stresses the importance of restoring democracy’s transformative potential, which, if harnessed, can significantly strengthen and enrich India’s democratic culture. This emphasis is intended to inspire and motivate the audience to actively participate in the democratic process.- Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA%20Vol%20XXI%20No.%202%20Jul-Dec%202024.pdf
