Democracy by illiterate men: Khandekar in Constituent Assembly


CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY OF INDIA DEBATES (PROCEEDINGS)-
VOLUME VII
Friday, the 31st December 1948.

Shri B. H. Khandekar (Kolhapur):


I merely wish to remind the House about the skit that a French King had when he heard about Abraham Lincoln's definition of democracy as being "the government of the people, by the people and for the people."
The French King immediately blurted "Democracy is government of the cattle by the cattle and for the cattle." If we are going to have democracy by illiterate men, it will be a democracy as described by the French King.
