But, however, the meaning of word democracy is little different in reality than in true sense of the word ‘Democracy’ very commonly means now, a rule by a majority of the people who act according to certain rules and regulation widely accepted by the people of a country. The most famous definitions of democracy is as Abraham Lincin said, ‘it is the government of the people, by the people and for the people.’


Democracy has many merits. It encourages and enables equal opportunities to make progress to all the people. People enjoy their rights. There is no difference for power since every citizen is equally granted with one vote right. People are supreme and cannot be exploited by any dictator or group of persons. It gives freedom of espression to the masses.

Sometime people take human rights only as political right of an individual. But it is more than this. Since human rights guarantees human dignity, violations of any such right may be vulnerable to human freedom.

Human rights can only flourish in the democratic society where the country runs by the rule of law. The democratic values and institution are basic foundations for human rights. Similarly, peace and social harmony can also provide ground for human rights.
