 The Institutionalization of democracy in India is a success story which is appreciated worldwide. Yet the deepening of the democracy and making it the substantive democracy, is nonetheless remains a key concern. This paper aims at understanding the difference between procedural, and substantive democracy and how social media is incorporating substantive aspects into formal democracy in India.At the beginning, this paper discusses the difference between the procedural and substantive democracy as a normative background. Thereafter, it conceptualizes the social media, and analyse the democracy-social media interfaces in India to derive some conclusions about it.Structurally, the social media is very conducive for the culture of public discourse. Moreover, it is empowering people and notably, the deprived sections of society also to participate in public affairs. Social media is quite helpful in attaining the ideal of substantive democracy in India
