In the modern world, democracy is not limited to its very narrow definition but its aspect has been widened:
(i) Democratic rights are not limited to the right to vote, to stand in elections and form political organisation. A Democracy should grant some social and economic rights to its citizens.
(ii) The very spirit of power sharing in democracy is extended to the "power sharing between governments and social groups”.
(iii) Modern democracy cannot value only the voice of majority but it respects the voice of minority as well.
(iv) The democracy has extended its scope from government and its activities to eliminating discrimination based on caste, religion and gender.
(v) Democracy has added one more feature in its scope, i.e. the “outcome of democracy”.
