Democracy is based on political equality and all individuals have equal right to choose their
representative. But along with this (political equality) we can see growing economic inequality
among the individuals. A small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of
wealth and incomes.
Due to this reason, their share in total income of the country is increasing. On the other hand,
the income of poor is declining.
Sometimes they (poor) fi nd it diffi cult to meet their basic needs of life, such as food, clothing,
house, education and health. Though poor constitute a large proportion of voters, yet the democratic
governments are not keen to take up the question of poverty. The situation is much worse in some
other countries.
Like Bangladesh where more than half of its population lives in poverty, even people of poor
countries are now dependent on the rich countries for food supplies.
