Studies on political and social inequalities in democracy show that

(i) democracy and development go together.

(ii) inequalities exist in democracies.

(iii) inequalities do not exist under dictatorship.

(iv) dictatorship is better than democracy.

Answer:

(i) Democracy and Development go together: This statement is very much appropriate because without development political and social inequalities cannot be eliminated.

(ii) Inequality exists in democracy: It is very true that inequality exists in democracy and cannot be removed permanently. At the most we can minimise the degree of inequality by progressive and proper planning. Even in a developed country like USA there is inequality exists.

(iii) The statement Inequalities do not exist under dictatorship is not correct because Inequalities do exist in dictatorship in a very high degree as dictators do not care for any welfare policies and hardly implement any law to check the problem of inequalities.

(iv) The statement dictatorship is better than democracy is far from the truth and practicality because democracy insures liberty, equality and fraternity whereas, dictatorship restrains the concepts of liberty, equality and fraternity.
