Our guest author on the Desh Apnayen blog, Ms. Kavita Anand, explains why democracy must be experienced, not just taught. She writes: “School becomes the first experiential model of society. For fourteen years, children observe how power works around them. They notice who speaks up and who stays silent. They see whether questioning is welcomed or punished. Most important, they learn what fairness, equity, and respect for multiple viewpoints actually look like in practice.”

Democracy is sustained by the everyday habits of its citizens. It is not just a system of voting one feels obliged to exercise every few years. Authority must be questioned, diverse views must be heard, and fairness must be strived for—all of these are activities immanent in a democratic system.

This is a summary of the latest article on the Desh Apnayen blog, written by Ms. Kavita Anand who is the founder and executive director of Adhyayan Quality Education Services. She uses the Shishuvan School model to depict how introducing democratic institutions such as parliaments into schools can help dissolve hierarchies and turn students into stakeholders. Ultimately, if students are to grow into ACTiZENS, they must feel like active participants of the democratic state.
