Question

"In a democracy every citizen must be able to play equal role in decision making. For this you don't need just an equal right to vote. Every citizen needs to have equal information, basic education, equal resources and a lot of commitment."
What is your opinion about this? Write in brief.

Answer 1

The ideals of democracy have solid base no doubt but unless every citizen gets opportunity to play role in decision making; he/she cannot say that he/she is living in a true democratic set-up.

Also, the government should provide equal opportunities of education to all of its citizens. Whatever resources are available, they must be utilized equally by all.
What we wish usually does not get fulfilled. Although India is the largest democracy in the world, most of the people here are not leading a standard life. They are being neglected. They are not getting proper hygienic environment. Malnutrition is seen among them.
