Democratic form of government stands much superior to any other form of government in promoting dignity and freedom of the individual :
(i) Often conflict arises among individuals because some feel that they are not treated with equal respect in comparison to others. In democracy, respect and freedom are the basis of it.
(ii) The status of women was not satisfactory in the different parts of the world, but democracy throughout the world has recognized equal treatment and respect to women, at least in principles.
(iii) In India, 1/3rd of seats have been reserved for women in local bodies.
(iv) Democracy in India has strengthened the claims of the disadvantaged and discriminated castes for equal status and opportunity, which is not possible in any non-democratic country.
(v) Democracy guaranteeing fundamental rights to all.
