We felt that democracy is better because it :

- Enhance the dignity of the individual
- Improves the quality of decision making.

- Allows room to correct mistakes.
- The countries which have formal constitutions, they hold elections and form govts.
- They guarantee rights of citizens.
- Democracy solves the social and political and economic problems of the country.
Topic - 2 : Accountable responsive and Legitimate Govt.
Accountable Govt. : Democracy is a accountable govt because it is the govt. of the people and made by people and for the people. The representatives elected by the people are responsible to them. If the people are not happy with the govt they can change the leaders in coming elections.
Responsive Govt. : A citizen who wants to know if a decision was taken through the correct procedures can find this out. She has the right and the means to examine the process of decision making. This type of transparency is not available in non democratic govts.
Legitimate Govt. : Democratic govt is legitimate govt. It may be slow, less efficient, not always very responsive or clean. But a democratic govt is people’s own govt’s can not ignore the needs of people. So people wish to be ruled by representatives elected by them.
3) Contribution to economic growth and development -
· Factors of economic development-
· Country’s population size,
· Global situation,
· Cooperation from other countries, Economic priorities adopted by the country etc.
· The role of democracy in the reduction of inequality and poverty is not very successful.
· Though based on political equality (one vote one value) – the growing economic inequality still exists between rich and poor –
· Some unable to meet the basic needs in life.
4) Steps taken to reduce inequality and poverty –
· Minimum needs program for the poor
· Distribution of surplus land
• Reservation of jobs for backward classes
• Social security – old age pension, free medical aid, subsidized housing, more employment opportunities.
5) Accommodation of social diversity –
6) Dignity and freedom of citizens-
• Every individual wants to receive respect from fellow beings – (all individuals are equal)
• Freedom of expression to the people –their expectations and complaints are itself a testimony to the success of democracy.
• Eg. Struggle for dignity by women, if recognized, they can always easily project (moral courage) of their problems.
Facts that Matter
1. Democracy is formed by two Greek words ‘‘demos’’ and “kratia”. “Demos” means people and “kratia” means the government. Democracy, thus, means “rule by the people”. In a democratic set-up, every citizen has the right to take part in the decision making process. It is a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
2. Democracy is a better form of government when compared with dictatorship or any other alternatives because it promotes equality among citizens, enhances the dignity of the individuals, improves the quality of decision-making, etc.
3. Democracy is just a form of government. It can only create conditions for achieving something. The citizens have to take advantage of those conditions and achieve those goals.
4. The most basic outcome of democracy should be that it produces a government that is accountable to the citizens, and responsive to the needs and expectations of the citizens.
5. Some people think that democracy produces less effective government. It is true that non-democratic rulers are very quick and efficient in decision-making and implementation. It is because they do not bother about deliberation in assemblies or worry about majorities.
6. Democracy is based on the idea of deliberation and negotiation. So, some delay is bound to take place. But because it has followed procedures, its decisions may be both more acceptable to the people and more effective.
7. Democracy ensures that decision-making will be based on norms and procedures. A citizen who wants to know if a decision was taken through the correct procedures can find this out. This is not seen in a non-democratic government.
8. There are some shortcomings in a democratic form of government. For example, most democracies fall short of elections that provide a fair chance to everyone and in subjecting every decision to public debate. But it is much better than any non-democratic regime.
9. A democratic government is attentive to the needs and demands of the people and is largely free of corruption. It is a legitimate government. It is people’s own government.
10. These are the reasons why people wish to be ruled by representatives elected by them. They believe that democracy is suitable for their country.
11. But in matters of economic development, not all the democracies get developed because of various factors like population, lack of basic infrastructure etc. If you consider all democracies and all dictatorships for the fifty years between 1950 and 2000, dictatorships have slightly higher rate of economic growth. The inability of democracy to achieve higher economic development worries us. But this is not a sole reason to reject democracy. The difference in the rates of economic development between less developed countries with dictatorships and democracies is negligible. Overall, we cannot say that democracy is a guarantee of economic development. Yes, we can expect democracy not to lag behind dictatorship in this respect.
12. Democracy does not appear to be successful in reducing economic inequalities. A small number of ultra rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and income. Their share in total income is increasing. People at the bottom of society have to lead a very tough life.
13. But we find accommodation of social diversity in a democracy. No society can fully and permanently resolve conflicts among different groups. But we can certainly learn to respect these differences and we can also evolve mechanisms to negotiate the differences. Democracy is best suited to produce this outcome. Non-democratic regimes often turn a blind eye to or suppress internal social differences. Ability to handle social differences, divisions and conflicts is thus a definite plus point of democratic regimes.
14. Democracy supports dignity and freedom of the citizens. Every man wants to get respect from fellow persons in the society. A lot of conflicts take place among human beings because some feel they are not treated with due respect. The passion for respect and freedom are the basis of democracy. Democracy in India has strengthened the claims of the disadvantaged and discriminated castes for equal status and equal opportunity. As democracy passes one test, it produces another test. As people get some benefits of democracy, they ask for more and want to make democracy even better. That is why when we ask people about the way democracy functions, they will always come up with more expectations, and many complaints. The fact that people are complaining is itself a testimony to the success of democracy. Overall, we can say that democracy is better than dictatorship or monarchy or military rule.

FIVE MARKS QUESTIONS
Question. How do social division affect politics? Give two examples.
or Explain with examples how social division affect politics? [CBSE 2011 ] or How do social divisions affect politics? Explain.
Answer : Social divisions affect politics in both negative and positive ways: Negative ways: a. In Northern Ireland, there has been a violent and bitter ethno-political conflict for many years. Northern Ireland population was divided into Protestant (53%) and Roman Catholics (44%). The Catholics were represented by Nationalist parties who wanted to be unified with the Republic of Ireland. In contrast Protestants were represented by Unionists who wanted to remain with the UK. Hundreds of civilians, militants and security forces were killed in the fight between unionists and nationalists. b. Disintegration of Yugoslavia into six independent countries due to ethnic and religious difference is another example. Positive ways: : Every expression of social division in politics does not lead to disasters because wherever social divisions exist, they are reflected in politics. In many countries, there are parties that focus only on one community, e.g., DM.K., AIADMK and use in India.
Question. Politics and social divisions must not be allowed to mix. Substantiate this statement with five arguments.
Answer : a. Democracy involves competition among various political parties. Their competition tends to divide any society. If they start competing in terms of some existing social divisions, it can make social division into political division and lead to conflict, violence or even disintegration of a country. b. Hundreds of civilians, militants and security forces were killed in the fight between Unionists and Nationalists and between the security forces of the UK and the Nationalists. It was only in 1998, that the UK government and the Nationalists reached a peace treaty after which the nationalists suspended their armed struggle. c. Political competition along religious and ethnic lines led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia into six independent countries. d. In a democracy, it is only natural that political parties would talk about the social divisions, make different promises to different communities, look after due representation of various communities and make policies to redress the grievances of the disadvantaged communities. e. Social divisions affect voting in most countries. People from one community tend to prefer some party to others. In many countries, there are parties that focus only on one community.
Question. Identify the determinants of the outcomes of the politics of social division and explain them.
Answer : The three determinants of the outcomes of the politics of social division: a. People’s perception: If people view their identities to be exclusive and superior, it becomes difficult to accommodate them. , b. Role of community and culture: It depends upon how political leaders raise demands on behalf of a community. It is easier to accommodate demands that are within the constitutional framework and are not at the cost of another community. c. The role of political party and government : Reaction of the government to the demands of different communities also determines the outcome. If the rulers are willing to share power and accommodate the reasonable demands of a minority community, social divisions become less threatening for the country.

Answer : No, we do not think that social divisions are always dangerous because: a. In a democracy, political expression of social divisions is normal and can be healthy. b.
