ABSTRACT “The primary meaning of democracy is that all who are affected by a decision should have the right to participate in making that decision, either directly or through chosen representatives . . . . to exclude the losing groups from participation in decision-making clearly violates the primary meaning of democracy.” —Arthur Lewis, first Nobel Prize winner in the economics of development According to the latest estimates, the Indian economy continues to grow at a rate of eight percent. But the question is whether this economic growth will create opportunities for all sections of society? What does this growth mean to Indian Democracy? While government says that a person who earns 26 to 32 Rs is not poor. We have seen the case of a mother who sold her new born baby for six thousand rupees to pay off the hospital bill, the Vrindavan widows case where they denied dignity even after death, The latest case of Gurgaon where a women delivered her child in a private hospital her family pay Rs 80 lakhs but even after paying so much money the hospital demand 20 lakhs more and in case of nonpayment threaten to transfer the patient in the government hospital. When these types of issues come across our eyes some questions come to our mind i.e. what does democracy mean? Is this inclusive or exclusive in nature? This paper will try to define what inclusive democracy means? What kind of steps is taken by government to make democracy more inclusive? Are they successful or facing some challenges? What is the difference in theory and practice? And due to these differences what type of contradictions exists in our society? Is this strengthen or weaken our country?
