Answers
Answer: Democracy in maintaining dignity and freedom.
Explanation: People maintaining democracy has succeeded in making dignity and freedom in the following ways:-
1) In comparison to other political systems, democracy promotes the dignity and freedom of its citizens the most. It gives the freedom of claiming rights.
2) All the transitions to democracy in history have taken place because of that realisation on the part of people that everyone deserves dignity and freedom. Every democracy has these principles at its core.
3) Even if complete equality of dignity may not have been achieved, all democracies have achieved and progressed in implementing the rights legally. This has been achieved in various degrees in various democracies.
4) Long struggle have enabled the discriminates section of society to fight for their rights. For eg- women achieved the rights to vote after a long struggle. But democracy makes space for people to protest against what they wish to.
5) In India, caste-based inequalities have persisted for centuries. Some societies still discriminate against them but the legal framework of the country gives them the protection of the law.
