Question

How does democracy stand much superor to sny other form of govt in promoting dignity and freedom of the individual explain with suitable example?

Answer 1

Democracy enhances the dignity of citizens of a country in the following ways:

Recognition of the principle of equalitybecomes easier for women to wage a struggle against what is now unacceptable legally and morally.

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.

A public expression of dissatisfaction with democracy shows the success of the democratic project: it transforms people from the status of a subject into that of a citizen. Most individuals today believe that their vote makes a difference to the way the government is run and to their own self-interest.
