Did democracy exist before also in India?
Yes. The inscriptions on the walls of the Sundar Varad Temple in Uttiramerur, near Kaancheepuram, show how democracy was practiced 1,000 years ago. This temple was built around 750 AD during the Pallav rule, but underwent a second great renovation in the hands of Rajendra Chola in 1013 AD, and again in the reign of the great Vijayanagar Emperor, Krishnadev Raaya in 1520 AD. This village is known for its historic inscription of a written constitution that deals with elections to the village assembly, qualifications required of candidates contesting in elections, circumstances under which a candidate may be disqualified, mode of election, tenure of the elected candidates and the right of the public to recall the elected members when they failed to discharge their duties properly and so on. It is interesting how in every aspect of life the highest standard of democracy was enforced in the village of Uttiramerur.
