A grassroot democracy

What is grass root democracy is a stage in which lowest stratum of election is held and elected by the people of the local limits. This has been facilitated by the 73rd amendment of the Constitution of India. The lowest stratum of elected body in India Gaon Panchayet. There is no exception in Tripura State of India. Democratic process is good but can flourish where people are educated and exercise to take right decision without being influenced by speeches of the political parties in the best interest of the people of the local limits concerned. A country with its educated citizens can implement democracy. In India, there are literate citizens. The term "literate" means a person who can read, write and count. The irony is that during every election whether Parliamentary, Assembly and the so called lowest stratum elections, there will be occurrence political party clashes among more than one parties. There have been no elections in India without such clashes, even sometimes it led to occurrence of deaths for such political clashes. A country should be called democratic country when holding of general election of any level is conducted in a peaceful manner in all aspects and respects.
