Parliamentary democracy successful through community wisdom: Guv Haribhau Bagade

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: “Indians proved wrong the doubts of the British that democracy would be successful after independence. In the last 75 years, parliamentary democracy has been successful through self-knowledge and community wisdom gained from Indian tradition,” Haribhau Bagade,
