India is a vibrant nation whose strength lies in its commitment to equal rights and to speech, religious and economic freedoms that enrich the lives of all citizens. India is not only the world's largest democracy; it is also a secular, pluralistic society committed to inclusive growth.

Democracy is something that you must learn each generation. It has to be taught.

Democracy is our commitment. It is our great legacy, a legacy we simply cannot compromise. Democracy is in our DNA.

Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.

Democracy is just a reflection of our morals and the things that we believe.

Democracy is but an experiment in the long history of the world.

Democracy is a process.

Indian democracy has often been likened to the stately progress of the elephant - ponderous in its gait and reluctant to change course, but not easily swayed from its new path when it does.

Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.

Democracy is difficult and demanding. So is history. It can crack your voice; it can stir your soul; it can break your heart.
