A Dictatorship has no Justice - the Key to Justice is that people who make decisions that impact others are accountable for their decisions.
In a Democracy the people have the ability to punish the leadership for making bad decisions by voting them out.
From that vote honest electors can create a matrix of judges, courts, laws etc that can even bring criminal actions for criminal decisions, but more usually just regulate differences and coordinate the actions of government.
Over the past 50 years there has been a semisecret plot to dismantle most of the threads of, and the systematic looting of, the entire social infrastructure by a Gang Of Pirates.
The GOP are very close to a tipping point that we could lose our democracy completely because they are open criminals but the strings of accountability have been broken.
The tools and methods are well studied from the many previous successes, at least temporarily, from the Italian Fascists, through Chile, South Africa, Argentina, and many others.
Secrecy, Election Fraud, real or phony attacks to raise fear of the Other, the destruction of the meaning of words (like "Justice" itself), facts and history by aggressively alternate reality, the sabotage of any honest government action, to remove trust, as well as ability to enforce justice on power.
Honest Justice is the glue that holds Democracy together. Without the controls of Justice on those who wield power, they will act only in their own interest, and against the trust that got them there.
The final Justice is when every person not a part of the Dictatorship rises up and prosecutes those who are.

I believe that India IS a democracy, however I do not believe that India IS a SUCCESSFUL democracy..! I do not actually get your point when you say - " The Congress party has created such a structure whereby it would be virtually impossible for the Bharat public to vote them out of power even if the public wanted to." Do tell us how they do this. You are being highly critical for no apparent reason. We should remember that Indira Gandhi was literally kicked out of power post-emergency. But unfortunately the Janata coalition did not last long due to in-fighting among them. At least Congress cannot be blamed for this. Ever since the same has been going on. Congress, then a coalition which breaks down. Then Congress again and so and so forth. This is the history of multiparty democratic politics. The congress enjoys a certain edge due to it's presence in the India National Movement, and the shrewd use of it's history by it's post-independence(and present leaders) leaders. That is not to say that they are an utterly useless party that are holding Indians at ransom. The Congress and UPA have it's pros and cons just like the Janata govt, the NDA govt ...etc. We have an Election Commission which is at least partially independent ( I am not sure how independent it is, my question on it got deleted.) which is doing a credible job. If congress is ruling by dictatorship then why didn't they get a majority? Why are they struggling every day with their coalition partners every day? Why was it so difficult to get a Women's reservation Bill passed? I think we are underestimating the intelligence of Indian population by saying that India is not a democracy. And this is a big mistake. After all we are alone,with free choice when we are giving our ballot..!! @ Soni - You got all this from one visit, that too when you were a child? Great, I salute you. You must remember that we are a developing country and face the problems that every other developing country is facing. You are an Indian student, I really don't think you have done much studies in this field. Even if you have, it sounds totally biased. We live here, we know the reality. So we will accept the reality, and not the exaggerations.. Please remember the history of the country when you are criticizing it country like that.. And what's that about criminals in India? Are criminals of Canada better that the criminals of India ? Or is Canada 100% crime free ? EDIT - @ Mehta Sir, I do understand sir. I have only stressed upon the core topic of India being a democracy or dictatorship. Whether we get good governance or bad is another thing. It is a fact that we do 'elect' our leaders. Every year politicians distribute money to the poor to vote for their party. They take the money but vote for the other party. This is democracy or more specifically mobocracy..!! As for 'divide and rule' politics, I feel sorry to say that not only Congress but every other party uses it as a means to garner votes. But that is not relevant here.. And look the irony.. The person who has criticized India in every possible way has gotten thumbs, but I have gotten thumbs down for defending our dear old India..

Justice is a broad definition: ex: in a dictatorship or a royalty like in britain before the magna carta what the head of state said was justice.
in a democracy again what a constitution or a magna carta are the rules a head of state can do which is of justice
also justice works in reference of culture and caste systems. example again here in the usa...it was justice for women not to be able to vote or own land gone now, but today if she marries the child must take the father's last name in the words of justice or the racism against blacks was justice until 1968
Justice isnt always what is right it's what is written.

It doesn't -- justice is an ideal about the right thing happening, so that good people benefit and bad people don't.
Democracy and dictatorships are two political models are opposite ends of the spectrum -- but both still operate on a "might makes right" model.
In democracy, the might-makes-right comes from the majority (often mob) -- more people = more force, and they get to impose their choices on everyone else.
In a dictatoriship, the might is usually military -- but the result is the same -- whoever has the power makes the rules.
