Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{\bf{\red{Answer:-}}}}$

In our society, every individual wants to receive

respect from fellow beings. In this respect

democratic form of government stands much

superior to any other form of government in

promoting dignity and freedom of the individual

The following points support the given

statement:-

1. Often conflict arises among individuals

because some feel that they are not treated

with equal respect in comparison to others. It is

very common in non-democratic countries. But

in democracy throughout the world has

recognised this atleast in principle.

2. Most societies were historically male

dominating. The status of women as not

satisfactory. After long struggles by women,

democracy throughout the world has

recognised equal treatment and respect to

women at least in principles.

Thus, in democracy, it becomes easier for

women to wage a struggle against what is now

unacceptable legally and morally for them.

3. Democracy in India strengthened the claims

of the disadvantaged and discriminated castes

for equal status and opportunity, which is not

possible in any non-democratic country.

Thus, it can be concluded that democracy

stands much superior to any other form of

government in promoting dignity and freedom

of the individual.
