in a vast sense we should believe that democracy can be best enjoyed when there is very good litercy rate, people have good awareness & most importantly there should be civic sense of the hieghest standard in all.infact such parameters guide any democracy for development/under development.quite obviously one can observe that in u.p. & bihar literacy rate is poor,people are in dark & most of the public (including some graduates) have very poor civic esnse.now result is also clear , both states are dying.
