    Why is a democracy considered the best form of government?

    Answer:

    Democracy is considered as the best form of government on the basis of its merits and advantageous nature over any other form of government like:
    (i) Democracy Produces Accountable Government: A democratic government is a better government because it is a more accountable and responsible form of government. It responds to the needs of the people in a better way than any other form of government.
    (ii) Based on Consultation and Discussion: Another reason why democracy is a better government is that it is based on "consultation and discussion". This reduces the chances of rash or irresponsible decisions,
    (iii) Accommodates Social Diversities: Democracy also accommodates social diversities. It provides a method to deal with differences and conflicts. In democracy, no one is a permanent winner and no one is a permanent loser. Different groups can live with one another peacefully. In a diverse country like India, democracy keeps our country together.
    (iv) Ensures Dignity of Individual: As democracy is based on the principle of political equality, so it enhances the dignity of citizens. Here people are not subjects of a ruler, they are the rulers themselves.
    - Finally, democracy is better than other forms of government because it allow us to correct our own mistakes. There is a space for public discussion on any type of mistakes and there is a room for corruption as well. 
    Conclusion: To conclude we can safely say that though democracy cannot get up everything and is not a solution to all problems. But yet it is clearly better than any other alternative and is considered the best form of government,
