Democracy has been defined as the government of the people, for the people, by the people. In such a Government people are themselves the rulers of the ruled. Government is formed through elections. All the adult citizens cast votes and elect their representatives. Thus it is a people’s government. It is run through their elected representatives. Dictatorship is that form of Government in which there is centralization of power. All power rests in the hands of one single individual. The people have no say in the matters of Government. In India, England and American, etc; there is democracy. In China, Egypt, etc, there is dictatorship.

The main advantages of democracy are three. First in this form of Government people enjoy a great deal of liberty. They get every freedom for self-expression. They can criticize the Government through the press and the platform. The Government can be dismissed at the will of the people. In such a Government, people are all powerful. It is they who make and dismiss it. In England, Sir Winston Churchill won the second World War and became the war-time hero. But after the war he and his government were dismissed.

Secondly, in democracy all the citizens are treated as equals. No distinctions is made on the basic of caste, creed or sex. All the citizens get equal opportunity. Even a sweeper can become a President. Thirdly, democracy is best suited for a country in peace times. Sound foundations of a nation are laid through it. Everything great is achieved through the co-operation of the people. Co-cooperation of the people is its basic principle.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

There are some disadvantages also of democracy. It is very slow moving form of Government. For everything, first of all some legislation has to be passed. It takes a pretty long time before the Government comes to any decision. Moreover, it also lacks in secrecy. Its machinery is very complicated. It runs through a long chain of officers and their staffs. Thus, every order has to pass through so many hands before it can be executed. So it is said that it can never be successful in war times. Further, its success or failure depends on the voter. If the voters are educated and enlightened, then only will they vote to elect capable men. If they are ignorant they will vote for undesirable persons. Thus, democracy depends upon the voters.

Dictatorship has its own advantages. In war-time, no other Government is so efficient as dictatorship. The dictator is the master of his own will. His orders are the final orders. No one can dare refuse to carry them out. when a nation is down trodden a dictator certainly helps it is rising high. Through heavy penalties and punishments, he frees the country of all corruption. Thus we find that all around dictators are coming into power. In Pakistan, Egypt, Burma, etc there were dictators.
