‘Indian Democracy Spreads its Wings’ is a documentation of the journey charting the emergence of India as a democracy. The film highlights the development of the country by showing the advancement of women, from being a section of society who were not allowed to vote, to leading the country and demanding a part in the decision making process. Affirmative action as state policy has ensured the entry of minority and marginalized communities into governance and many have come to head institutions in the government and in other official bodies in the states and villages of India. This film includes a series of interviews by people like Kofi Annan, the Secretary General of the United Nations and Prema Carriappa, the Mayor of Bangalore, among others, talking about the success story of India as a democracy.
