Answer:

For any healthy democracy to function effectively, mistakes and flaws must be accepted, and criticism, in the form of freedom of expression, dissent, and protests, must be welcomed. Limiting these stifles democratic development.

Explanation:

Dissent is necessary for a democracy, and governments must distinguish between legitimate grievances and uninvited protests. The only way to proceed is to engage in proper dialogue with those who are dissatisfied without labeling every dissent as a war against the government.

Dissent is part of the right to free speech and expression guaranteed by Article 19. (a). It represents dissatisfaction with the policies of the ruling government and seeks to reshape them for the betterment of the polity. As a result, it is a means of holding the executive accountable to civil society and to their responsibilities. It could include a protest, press coverage, the return of awards, and so on.

Dissent is an essential component of democracy. If it is curtailed indiscriminately, it may result in

1. Democracy will shatter

2. Government credibility will erode.

3. Imbalance in the distribution of power among the state's organs

4. A more totalitarian government that does not answer to the people.

Recent example- recently people protested against the farm laws, and ultimately government hear that and repealed those laws.
