Hallmarks

Anyone who critically looks at the chequered history  of democratic governments in the world would find that for a democratic government to become a successful and delivering one, it should have many, if not all, of the following hallmarks.

1. Matured leadership with vision.

2. Ability to provide stability in governance.

3. Absence of conflicting ideologies within the Government.

4. Political ideology which keeps common man’s welfare above everything else.

5. Ability to build a feeling of security and confidence among the people.

6. Orientation towards an egalitarian society. 

7. The will to keep corruption at bay.

8. Respect for dignity and civil liberties of citizens.

9. Respect towards the established legal system.

10. Non-interference in the free functioning of the fourth estate, i.e. the media.

It is the paramount responsibility of an enlightened electorate to become instrumental in setting up such a government.
