" Democracy stands much superior to any other form of government in promoting dignity and freedom of the individual". Justify this statement.
Answers
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.
