Answer :
1). (B.R. Ambedkar)
2). (i) Direct Democracy - In a direct democracy, such as ancient Athens, all citizens (only adult males who had completed their military training; women, slaves and plebs were not citizens) are invited to participate in all political decisions. This form of democracy is no longer practiced. In this form of democracy citizens are continuously involved in the exercise of power and decision is by majority rule.
(ii) Representative Democracy - In a representative democracy, representatives are elected by the people and entrusted to carry out the business of governance. Australia is a representative democracy.
3). (Hindu Succession Act, 1956)
4). The former official government policy in South Africa of segregation and political and economic discrimination against non-European groups in the Republic of South Africa. It is also a policy of separating people of different races and making them live apart.
