Question

Why should not illiteratits be barred or prevented from casting vote and contesting an election?

Answer 1

Answer:

Our Constitution entitles every citizen  to elect her/his representative and to  be elected as a representative. The  Constitution makers, however, were  worried that in an open electoral  competition, certain weaker sections  may not stand a good chance to get  elected to the Lok Sabha and the state  Legislative Assemblies. They may not  have the required resources,  education and contacts to contest and  win elections against others. Those  who are influential and resourceful  may prevent them from winning  elections. If that happens, our  Parliament and Assemblies would be  deprived of the voice of a significant  section of our population. That would  make our democracy less  representative and less democratic.
