Detailed Solution

The given statement is false. Democracy in India was not a gift from the British rulers. India’s freedom fighters, who fought the British to win independence and build democracy, made this possible. There were disagreements on the direction India should take after obtaining independence. Still, a consensus on the institutional structure was reached thanks to the familiarity with the political systems of colonial authority.

Democracy in India is an achievement of the leaders of the Indian independence and the constituent assembly.
