DEMOCRACY
Loading...
Let us remember that DEMOCRACY is just not a form of government but is a way of life. It
teaches us to provide equal opportunities to everyone without any
discrimination. It makes us conscious about protection of the old, infirm and
children. It expects involvement of all members of the family or society in
decision making. In democracy, everyone can share equal freedom in social,
economic and political fields. In case of conflicting interests, issue and
extreme approaches, the harmony can be brought through tolerance and
self-discipline. In this way it strikes a balance in the society
