Digital technology has a major role to play in democratic governance and has altered citizen-government interactions, including how citizens interact with governments, access public services, receive information, and engage in public activities. The growing availability of the internet, smartphones, social media and digital government platforms have provided new avenues to citizens' engagement and more accessible government in India. Meanwhile, digital democracy also comes with issues of access to technology, misinformation, privacy, cyber security and digital literacy inequalities. This study explores the concept of digital democracy, its impact, and the evolving landscape of its application in India, while focusing on digital democracy's impact on citizens, governance, and inclusivity. The study is quantitative in nature, which aims to explain citizens' experiences and perceptions on the use of digital platforms in the democratic and governance processes. Primary data are obtained from the selected respondents by employing suitable sampling method by using structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics are used to analyse the collected data. To gain an understanding of the demographic background characteristics and their attitudes on digital democratic practices, descriptive statistics are applied, while regression analysis and hypothesis testing is used to explore the relationship between digital initiatives and citizens' engagement, governance, and inclusivity. The research aims to ascertain whether the growing use of digital platforms enhances citizen's participation and facilitates better citizen-government relations. It also discusses the potential challenges in achieving the fruits of digital democracy, including the digital divide, digital illiteracy, misinformation, and digital security and privacy issues. The results will help to understand the implications of digital democracy in India and its barriers and opportunities. Finally, the study recommends various strategies to enhance digital governance, digital accessibility and literacy, facilitate meaningful citizen engagement, and foster a more inclusive and secure digital democratic space in India. The research could also serve as a valuable foundation for further research on technology, democracy and governance.
