My Vote
Counts looks at India's stature as the largest democracy in the world.
What does this mean? What rights and privileges do citizens of a
democracy enjoy, and what responsibilities go along with it? Starting
with a brief history of democracy, the book goes on to examine the
election process, offers glimpses into attitudes in other parts of the
world, explains terms commonly used but not often understood, supplies
statistics, traces the development of political parties in India,
comments on the Indian Constitution, the working of the government and
a lot more. This fund of information is delivered with a light touch,
cheeky cartoons and an easy read style. A valuable supplement to
Civics texts and useful for projects, essays, debates, discussions and
general knowledge.
Used in

the
reviews
"Here's one for kids who
find Indian democracy a little trying, especially to understand. . . a
very reader-friendly book with easy-on-the-eye illustrations. The
information and the style are very easy to understand, just perfect if
you're trying to get the hang of democracy."
