Question

How democracy maintain the dignity of common citizen?

Answer 1

Take the case of dignity of women.
Most societies across the world were
historically male dominated societies.
Long struggles by women have created
some sensitivity today that respect to and equal treatment of women are necessary
ingredients of a democratic society. That
does not mean that women are actually
always treated with respect. But once the
principle is recognised, it becomes easier
for women to wage a struggle against
what is now unacceptable legally and
morally.
The same is
true of caste inequalities. Democracy in
India has strengthened the claims of the
disadvantaged and discriminated castes
for equal status and equal opportunity.
There are instances still of caste-based
inequalities and atrocities, but these lack
the moral and legal foundations. Perhaps
it is the recognition that makes ordinary
citizens value their democratic rights.
