Answer 1

Democracy stands much superior than any other form of government in promoting freedom and dignity of the citizens as:

• The passion for respect and freedom form the base of democracy. It has been recognised all over the world and thus achieved by various democracies in various degrees.
• All people need to receive respect from fellow beings.
• Women fought long struggles to get equal treatment and respect.
• The right to vote for women was not allowed in many democracies for long, which they finally achieved now.
• In India, one third reservation for women is given in local bodies.
• The claims of discriminated and disadvantages castes for equality in status and opportunity has been strengthened by democracy.
