Indian Government is to the people, for the people an by the people

 First of all, it is important to note that Democracy as opposed to autocracy, aristocracy or monarchy means a government by the people. The people irrespective of factors like caste, religion, economic level, etc. are equal in the eyes of law and manage their own affairs themselves. They have inalienable right to rule themselves. The concept of justice, equality, liberty and fraternity are an embodiment of democratic principles in the Preamble of our Constitution. So in India, everything which comes under the government's ambit must have democratic characters in its decision making, policy framing and in every act of governance. Secondly, in India, the democracy is in the wider sense of political, economic and social democracy. The institutions set up under the Constitution shall seek to give effect to democracy in India which is to be sustained by adult suffrage, fundamental rights and independent judiciary. People's participation has been guaranteed by the institution of Panchayati Raj and local self government and the recent trend of decentralisation of power and transparency at all levels of Government. So what we leave on the Government, in a welfare state like India must have social consideration because in our brand of socialism we include both the private participation and public contribution at the same time. Our economic planning also rests upon our own socialism brand. In the very recent case related with the coal blocks allocation, Government of India had filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court saying that our policy decisions had concerned about our democratic and social structure and because the Government works for its own people it could not exclude the will of mass. Allocations of these coal blocks was not for making own profit or not for maintaining huge revenue , it was simply for the welfare of society and that is why the revenue generation was not the first priority while allocating the blocks. The Supreme Court was convinced with this argument and passed a decision in September 2012 stating that biding is not an essential requirement or only option while considering the allocation of natural resources. Moreover different legislations and maximum number of policies formulated by the Government are especially for socially and economically marginalized class. Finally, I have to say that in a democratic Government, social concern is inbuilt, and it can’t be excluded.
