Answer:
Gandhiji was right in believing that every adult was a responsible person. He believed that if a person was mature enough to shoulder the responsibility of running a family, he must be mature enough to elect a government of his/her choice. Gandhiji was of the view that if a person was poor or illiterate, it did not mean that the person was not wise enough to elect a government. Depriving the poor and the illiterates of voting rights would have been a form of discrimination. Following points support this view:
1. A person does not become poor because of choice but because of circumstances.
2. Person remains illiterate because he does not get enough opportunity to become literate.
3. A poor person need not be a foolish person and rich person may not always be intelligent.
4. Dishonesty and criminality can develop in any person; whether he is literate or illiterate.
5. Every adult develops certain level of maturity which gives him enough wisdom to think about the government.
