Question

Following is the challenge to democracy _______________.

• A. Corrupt leaders
• B. Illiterate citizens
• C. Communalism
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

In terms of India these are the few challenges to Democracy:

• Corruption in public life has been a major concern in India. Corruption continues to exist in covert and overt ways at all three levels - political, bureaucratic and corporate sector.

• Communalism is an affront to India’s nationalist identity and a tragic setback to its evolving secular culture. It is subversive of our democratic political stability and destroyer of our glorious heritage of humanism and composite culture.

• The level of education of citizens is a key to both the successful functioning of democracy and socio-economic development of the country. And perhaps, more importantly, it is an essential condition for human dignity.
