The Indian socio-political system was much more democratic in the modern sense. Acording to Hindu thought the fulfillment of the journey does not necessarily lie in reaching the destination, it is the act of undertaking it. Generation after generation, journeys will be undertaken to this destination again and again. In is quest itself lies the fulfillment of life. Societies organized along democratic lines can constantly change according to the desires and requirements of each generation.
Democratic societies can maintain continuity between the past, the present and the future.
