Question

"Democracies accommodate social diversities and provide dignity and freedom to the citizens." Justify the statement.

Answer in Brief

Solution

To form a government, various individuals or groups are elected. A majority community, whether religious, racial, or linguistic, should not gain power. Citizens should be given the opportunity to vote in the majority. No one should be denied the right to vote on the basis of their birth. Democracy is not, in essence, the rule of the majority. The majority must collaborate with minorities and diverse groups and people to ensure that all sections of the population are represented in government.

  1. People expect respect and dignity from their fellow humans. The promotion of individual dignity and freedom is a cornerstone of democracy.
  2. It carries moral and legal weight in the Constitution. Other forms of government, however, do not have such a provision.
  3. There is no discrimination on the basis of race, religion, caste, gender, or creed.
  4. Women have fought for the same rights and opportunities as men. Democracy has aided them in expressing their opinions and receiving proper support.
  5. When something has legal force, it is easier to make demands and maintain respect. Women's lives have improved as a result of this.
  6. By promoting their interests, this has also aided in the empowerment and respect for untouchables. It is a valid government. As a result, it far outperforms any other type of grant promoting individual dignity and freedom.
