India the World’s Largest Democracy
After WWII many nations ruled by European or other imperialist countries, were fighting for freedom from their imperialist rulers. India which was ruled by Great Britain at the time was a big country having over six hundred million people. An educated Indian man named Mohamed Gandhi became the leader of what is known as the Indian Independence Movement againstthe British. He was very successful in his campaign of boycotting British goods and gaining many followers. On January 26 of 1950, India was an Independent nation. Since India’s Independence from Great Britain to today, the country had remained in relative peace with most Nations except for the Sino-Indian war with China only lasting a few months. In the first years of its Independence, India hadtrouble controlling over the country’s huge population, especially since it was divided by Religious groups as Muslims and Hindus often confronted each other for domination of a certain area or wanting to separate the country into two which was done in the 1950s and the north western part of the country later came to the Dominion of Pakistan. In the last few years India has been growingeconomically and in Population, it is currently the largest democracy in the world and is a country with a bright future ahead of it.
Like the United States India is a Democracy, it is a Federal Republic. It consists of three main branches: the Executive, Legislative and Judicial.

India is full of culture and tradition; it has no need of war, and never had invaded a country before. However there are a lot of problems with the country now a days. Such as child labor, from ages 5-14 there is 17 million currently in childlabor. Another problem is the current leaders, they are trying to divide the country into sections depending on the religion to avoid conflict, but that truth is that moving people is what’s going to cause conflict.
