(i) Democracies throughout the world have recognized the fact that people should be treated with due respect. The passion for respect and freedom is the basis of democracy.
(ii) Democracies recognize all individuals as equal. This equality is a big thing for the societies which have been built for long on the basis of subordination and domination.
(iii) Most societies across the world are male-dominated but democracies have created sensitivity that equal treatment of women are necessary ingredients of a democratic society.
(iv) Caste-based inequalities and atrocities are also not acceptable to democracies.
All these combined together enhance the dignity and freedom of the individual.
