Class 10 Social Science - Democratic Politics - Chapter Outcomes of Democracy NCERT Solutions | Identify the challenges to democracy in
Identify the challenges to democracy in the following descriptions. Also suggest policy/institutional mechanism to deepen democracy in the given situations:
* Following a High Court directive a temple in Orissa that had separate entry doors for dalits and non-dalits allowed entry for all from the same door.
* A large number of farmers are committing suicide in different states of India.
* Following allegation of killing of three civilians in Gandwara in a fake encounter by Jammu and Kashmir police, an enquiry has been ordered.
a) In this case people were distincted on the basis of their caste. In a democracy all citizen are equal irrespective of their caste, creed, religion or economic status. So the democratic government had the challenge of unfair distinction against the dalits and make a law to set things alright.
b) In this case the government has failed to implement poverty reduction programmes and the comfort of the oppressed has been ignored. It was poverty and the powerlessness to pay back the loans sustained that made the farmers attempt this desperate act of suicide. The challenge faced by the government is to strengthen local administrations and ensure that the programmes initiated for the poor are implemented properly and that corruption and negligence does not become difficult for the citizen.
c) This situation states that the government has failed to give security for its citizens. In a democracy the government has to answer to its citizens as it is a illustrative form of government .The challenge the government faces is to bring justice to the common man. The faith of the people should be restored and the guilty after being part of the government should be punished.
