      What have you understood by the term 'Democracy'? 

    Answer:

                      Democracy is a form of government in which rulers are elected by the people. But, this definition is not adequate to define democracy. We need to add up following features: (i) Democracy is a form of government in which rulers elected by the people take all the major decisions.                (ii) Elections offer a choice and fair opportunity to the people to               change the current rulers.          (iii) This choice and opportunity is available to all the people on an equal basis.   (iv) The exercise of this choice leads to a government limited by basic rules of the constitution and citizens rights.
