Question

Explain how economic inequality is a challenge before democracy.

Answer 1

Economic inequality in India is a challenge before democracy because it is badly influencing the civic, political and social life of the citizens. The rich class is enjoying luxurious life while the vast majority is perpetually growing under poverty and unemployment. Thus, economic inequality is polluting the whole democratic system in India and therefore democracy has to take responsibility to reduce poverty and make all basic amenities available for the poor.
