Democracy and Its Needs

‘Democracy,’ defines Bernard Shaw, ‘is a social order aiming at the greatest available welfare for the whole population and not for a class.’ Democracy has many merits. Freedom and equality are its essential concepts. Therefore, there should exist respect for the individual as the supreme motive of power.

Perfect democracy can be achieved by educating all people in a country. People should realize about their social and political responsibilities. They should have a complete knowledge of democratic living and democratic form of government. Constant vigilance is the price of democracy.

 The success of democracy largely depends on its power to produce the right type of leadership and things to come are determined by the thinking, value and beliefs of these leaders. They should be conscious about the essence of democracy.

Freedom of expression and a well motivated public opinion through an impartial media will help to achieve effective democratic value. People should: be more active and vigilant in the democratic form of government, since it is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Other essences are recognition of the rights of minority, uniform justice through-out the country, citizens to have the right to fight for justice, etc.

Holding free and impartial elections ensures democracy in the true sense. To achieve all these essentials, a basic economic independence of all citizens is a must.
