Read the Comprehension and answer the questions below:
The Indian general election of 1952 was the first of its kind in independent India and a historic moment in world democracy.

The election process was long, with voting and results spread across several months, yet it was widely accepted as fair. More than half of eligible voters participated, and the results were considered legitimate, even by those who lost. The success of the 1952 election proved critics wrong and demonstrated that democracy could function in a poor and illiterate country like India.
