Underlining that democracy is best suited for a diverse country like India, Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Friday said the country's rich diversity cannot be sustained through dictatorial governance.
Delivering the 19th DP Kohli Memorial Lecture on the CBI's foundation day, Chief Justice of India Ramana said given our experience with democracy so far, it is proven beyond doubt that democracy is best suited for a pluralistic society like ours.
"Our rich diversity cannot be sustained through dictatorial governance. It is only through democracy that our rich culture, heritage, diversity, and pluralism can be sustained and strengthened," he said.
In his lecture on 'Democracy: Role and Responsibility of investigative agencies', Justice Ramana said, "We have a vested interest in strengthening democracy, because we essentially believe in democratic way of living. We Indians love our freedom. When any attempt has been made to snatch our freedom, our alert citizenry did not hesitate to seize the power back from autocrats".
