Explain Gandhi's concept of Democracy

Within the larger framework of Gandhi’s concern for majority alleviation he put the idea of the gram swaraj at the very centre of his social, political and economic philosophy. Since the overwhelming majority of Indians live in villages, Gandhi’s primary concern is to concentrate on this important segment and provide a blueprint by which the face of rural India would drastically change for the better. The cities, remarks Gandhi, do not represent India. They are alien to it. He considers the cities as artificial, facilitating the exploitation by the imperialist powers; of sharing the plunder of the villages with the imperialist powers. “I regard the growth of cities as an evil thing. Unfortunate for mankind and the world, unfortunate for England and unfortunate for India. The British have exploited India through its cities. The latter have exploited the villages. The blood of the villages is the cement with which the edifice of the cities is built” (cited in Ganguli, 1973, pp.184-85) Writing in 1921, he points out that the cities are “brokers and commission agents for the big houses of Europe, America and Japan. The cities have cooperated with the latter in the bleeding process that has gone on for 200 years” (cited in Ganguli, Ibid, p.184). He further laments that. Little do town-dwellers know how the semi-starved masses of India are slowly sinking to lifelessness. Little do they know that their miserable comfort represents the brokerage they get for the work they do for the foreign exploiter, that the profits and the brokerage are sucked from the masses. Little do they realise that the government established by law in British India is carried on for this exploitation of the masses…. I have no doubt whatsoever that both England and town-dwellers in India will have to answer, if there is a God above for this crime against humanity which is perhaps unequalled in history (cited in Ganguli, ibid, pp.184-85).
