Broader meaning of democracy

लोकतंत्र का व्यापक अर्थ

In this Class 9 Civics topic from the chapter “What is Democracy? Why Democracy?”, students explore democracy as more than a system of elections and majority rule. They learn how democratic government is connected with public participation, equal treatment, individual rights, accountability, discussion, and respect for differences. The topic also helps students understand why democratic values matter in institutions and everyday social life, and how they shape the relationship between citizens and the government.
