Analyse the role of popular struggles in the development of democracy.

  • DEMOCRACY evolves through popular struggles. It is possible, that some significant decisions may take place through consensus and may not involve any conflict at all.
  • Democratic conflict is resolved through mass mobilisation. Sometimes it is possible that the conflict is resolved by using the existing institution like parliament or the judiciary.
  • These conflicts and mobilisations are based on new political organisations.
  • There is an element of spontaneity in all such historic movements.
