Young People Participated in Indian Politics

Abstract :

Participatory democracy is a process emphasizing the oad participation of constituents in the direction and operation of political systems. Etymological roots of democracy imply that the people are in power and thus that all democracies are participatory. However, participatory democracy tends to advocate more involved forms of citizen participation and greater political representation than traditional representative democracy, Participatory democracy may also be a form of semi–direct democracy (representative democracy with instruments, elements, and/or features of direct democracy).Participatory democracy strives to create opportunities for all members of a population to make meaningful contributions to decision–making, and seeks to oaden the range of people who have access to such opportunities. Since so much information must be gathered for the overall decision–making process to succeed, technology may provide important forces leading to the type of empowerment needed for participatory models, especially those technological tools that enable community narratives and correspond to the accretion of knowledge. Effectively increasing the scale of participation, and translating small but effective participation groups into small world networks, are areas currently being studied. Other advocates have emphasised the importance of face to face meetings, warning that an overreliance on technology can be harmful
