After independence from Britain in 1947, India became a democratic republic in 1950. After the first national election in 1952, India won the world's largest liberal democracy and continued to exercise universal election rights today. Most of the former British and French colonies were independent, at least initially democratic before 1965; people who belonged to the British Empire often adopted the Westminster parliament system. The process of non - colonization has caused great political instability in some parts of Africa and Asia, and some countries experienced rapid changes in democracy and other forms of government.

After years of colonial rule, India acquired freedom in 1947. Over the next few years, the Constitution of India has declared India as a democratic federal republic. In 1952, the first democratic election based on the Universal Adult Franchise was held. However, in the election, Indian citizens did not have the necessary awareness about democracy. They are not educated about the choice between good and evil. Many are victims of ancient poverty, ignorance, superstition. Many of them do not even understand the difference between Britain and the new ruler. However, the whole process of the election is done through a democratic process.
