<Is India a Democracy or a system like ours?> Based on the article you posted, the following represents the form of government in India, with the exception that I do not understand the meaning of "of the representative type". Does it mean "popular vote", or "proportional representation" or something else ? a constitutionally limited government of the representative type, created by a written Constitution--adopted by the people and changeable (from its original meaning) by them only by its amendment--with its powers divided between three separate Branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Here the term "the people" means, of course, the electorate.
