This chapter shows it is far more than that - power that comes from the people, a Constitution that guarantees and protects rights, seven principles a democracy cannot do without, and everyday participation that keeps it alive between elections. India gave every citizen the vote in 1950, yet the chapter keeps returning to one idea: democracy is not limited to elections alone .
