Instructions:Mention any 3 some problems that we see in democracy

Solution:
A democratic government is a government in which the people choose their leaders by electing them directly. The party which receives the maximum votes wins the elections. They form the government and represent the people of the country. However, in recent years it is observed that people have to fight for democracy. This is due to various reasons:
  • The economic and social inequalities among the people are also increasing. Although everyone has the right to vote it is only the rich section of the society who have a chance to win the elections.
  • In many democracies, the political leaders are dishonest, corrupted and inefficient. They are often involved in cases of bribery and rigging of elections. They do not have any trust on the part of the citizens and eventually, the country's democracy suffers.
  • During elections, it is observed that the people give more importance to the caste and religion of the candidate. The political parties also consider this factor while distributing the ticket for election. If any representative is elected on this basis, there is a high possibility that he might work for the welfare of the people belonging to his own caste or religion.
Thus, the people have to fight for their democracy.
