Another important advantage of democracy is that the people gain a sense of participation in the process of choosing their government. They get the opportunity to voice their opinions by means of electoral votes. This breeds a sense of belonging towards the nation. Most of the non-democratic governments across the world are cruel,authoritative, corrupt and unjust; whereas the democratically elected governments have improved the lives of its citizens. Undemocratic governments are a serious and real threat to their own citizens and they resort to violent and corrupt practices to remain in power. We, the citizen of the nation are at the center of democracy and we have the responsibility to maintain the democratic nature of our nation. Democracy holds the promise to create a powerful, progressive and inclusive nation; fulfilling the dreams and aspirations of its citizens. Democracy provides the ideal ground for protection and realization of human rights. Let us pledge to show our total commitment to democratic ideas and values by fulfilling our democratic duties and responsibilities – and our democratic rights will be fulfilled automatically.
