Prajatantra

Prajatantra (प्रजतंत्र) is a Sanskrit-derived term that means democracy. It is a combination of “Praja” (प्रजा), meaning “people” or “citizens,” and “Tantra” (तंत्र), meaning “system” or “governance.”

In the Indian context, “Prajatantra” refers to a democratic system of governance, where the power lies with the people, and leaders are elected to represent them. It is often used in Hindi and other Indian languages to describe democracy in political and philosophical discussions.
