Non-violent and peaceful movements strengthen the democracy of the nation. 

The following examples can be given in support of the answer :

1. Chipko Movement was conducted in a non-violent and peaceful manner, which was a wide spread public movement. It successfully stopped deforestation. The movement helped wild life and protected environment. 

2. Farmer and Labour Movement conducted peacefully by the leftists, created public awareness. It successfully drew attention of the government towards fair demands of the farmers and labourers. 

3. Anti-Liquor Movement in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, created an environment against liquor. Ultimately the government had to ban it. The movement was a big success for the women.

Voice was raised against women issues such as sexual harassment, domestic violence, dowry and women reservation. As a result of it, some amendments were made in the constitution of India and some laws were made. All the above examples prove that these movements strengthened Indian democracy.
