Pre-independace, Mahathma gandhi used to make decisions for the congress. The intentions of the people is no matter however strong not deter the decisions of mahathma. In case of disobedience movement in 1930's small incident of people attacking and killing policemen, stopped the whole agitation, because gandhi wants the liberty of the nation with ahimsa. so every one have to back off. but gandhi never succeded in removing the voilent nature of the men. Many innocent people killed in hindu- muslim riots after independence. again, he wants his candidate become the congress than subhash chandra bose. but bose won the election and finally left the congress to fight the independence war on his own way. If mahthma given more imprtance to other leaders like patel, bose and jinna, the map of India is completely different now. Nehru's and Indira's period democracy is in the last bench. state govt toppled at the will of leader. But they remained best leaders. Rajiv gandhi, never shown respect to president and in his time informing president on govt affairs is discarded. Now the Sonia time, her wish and will, PV is the best PM ever but the trouble Sonia's group made is the recent past. Left parties in Indira time to now, wants to influence the policy, and make decisions for the Govt, but the in major states they can not contest or win election.
Why people still belive in democracy is surprise to me.
