Definition of democracy

लोकतंत्र की परिभाषा

In this Class 9 Civics topic from “What is Democracy? Why Democracy?”, students learn the meaning and essential features of democracy. The topic explains how people participate in governing through elected representatives, why elections must be free and fair, and how the principles of one person, one vote, one value, accountability, and the rule of law support democratic government. It also helps students distinguish democracy from other forms of government and understand its importance in protecting citizens’ rights and dignity.
