Democracy: Demos or Demons? is a critique of our practise of democracy, matching the expedients of practice with the imperatives of theory, pointing out the truth, the fable, and the fallacies. The book goes beyond that, suggesting fundamental and pragmatic changes, some mandatory, and others optional to make our democracy realize the goals set for it. These goals are not the same in all societies as they vary with different levels of economic and social development. A customized democracy is the answer.
The book could pass for a drawing board agenda of a multi -racial or multi -ethnic sovereignty parley, where the goal is for a just, fair and resilient nation; just as it would be beneficial to a society that have developed its democratic structures to maturity level.
