.Abstract
The term Democracy refers to the rule of people in state. In other ways it is the rule by the people, of the people and for the people. It has been questioned in modern days in India whether India is real democratic state or not? Whether the concept of democracy was existed in Ancient India or not? The right to vote in each five year only is democracy or the participation of people in each and every rules and regulations (Act) is real democracy. Now it has been observed in India in modern days the concept of democracy converted in to rule of some people, by some people and for some people. This may be said as pseudo democracy. In modern days we elect our representatives for parliament in each five years but they do not represent the people in reality. All time of their membership generally they work only for their High command of their respective parties. They do not have any accountability towards people. But in ancient India there were so many evidences in which participation of people could be seen in decisions of state.
