उत्तर
Liberty Indicator acts as a measure of 'the extent of democratic participation in social and political decision-making.'
Explanation:
The Liberty Indicator measures the extent to which the general public participates in social and political decision-making. The HDI ranking does not, however, take this into account. But because India is one of the world's largest democracies, it ranks higher on the liberty score than both China and Pakistan. India's population has social freedoms including freedom of expression as well as political freedom, which includes participation in governmental administration.
