DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS

INTRO

Elections and Institutions need to be combined with a third element- enjoyment of rights - to make a government democratic.

EXPLANATION

Rights are claims of a person over other follow beings, over the society and over the government. So a right is possible when you make a claim that is equally possible for others.Right acquire meaning only in society. Every society makes certain rules to regulate our conduct, they tell us what is right and what is wrong. What is recognized by the society as rightful become the bases of rights.

ADVANTAGES OF DEMOCRATIC

Democratic Companies Work Fast It may seem paradoxical to say that democratic companies know how to work fast but it’s true.  Sure, the decision-making process, if it involves reaching a consensus, can take time. But the time and attention paid to everyone’s point of view only makes the execution phase faster once the decision is made.

Democratic Companies Come Up With Smarter IdeasEvery business owner knows the maxim, “Innovate or die.”  But coming up with ideas and acting on them isn’t enough. You need smart ideas. How to get them?  As James Surowiecki writes, tap the wisdom of your crowd.

Democratic Companies Have Happier Employees The Gallup Organization recently reported that approximately three-fourths of the US workforce is disengaged at work, costing $300 billion annually.  Employees report that not being engaged also impacts their emotional and physical health.

DISADVANTAGES OF DEMOCRATIC

a) The democratic leadership requires some favorable conditions in that the labor must be literate, informed and organized. This is not always possible.

b) This approach assumes that all workers are genuinely interested in organization and that their individuals are goals successfully fused with the organizational goals. This assumption may not always be valid.

c) There must be a total trust on the part of management as well as employees. Some employees may consider this approach simply an attempt to manipulate them. Accordingly the employees must be fully receptive to this approach to make it meaningful.

TYPE OF DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS

TYPES

Right to EqualityRight to constitutional RemediesRight to FreedomRight against ExploitationCultural and Educational RightsRight to Freedom of Religion

RIGHT TO EQUALITY

The constitution says that the government shall not deny to any person in India equality before the law or the equal protection of the same manner to all, regardless of a person’s status. This is called the rule of law.

RIGHT TO FREEDOMFreedom means absence of constraints. In practical life it means absence of interference in our affairs by other – be it other individuals or the government. We want to live in society, but we want to live in society, but we want to be free.Freedom of speech and expressionAssembly in a peaceful mannerForm associations and unionsMove freely throughout the countryReside in any part of the country, andPractice any profession, or to carry on any occupation ,trade or business.

RIGHT AGAINST EXPLOITATION

The constitution mentions three specific evils and declares these illegal. First, the constitution prohibits ‘traffic in human beings’. Traffic here means selling and buying of human beings, usually women, for immoral purpose.

RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF RELIGION

Right to freedom includes right to freedom of religion as well. In this case too, the constitution makers were very particular to state it clearly. You have already read in chapter Three that India id a secular state. Most people in India, like anywhere else in the world, follow different religions.

CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS

You might wonder why were the constitution makers were so particular in providing written guarantees of the rights of the minorities. Why are there no special guarantees for the majority? Well, for the simple reason that the working of democracy gives power to the majority.

RIGHT TO CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDIES

If it is a Fundamental Right we can directly approach the Supreme Court or the High Court of a state. That is why Dr.ambedkar called the Right to Constitutional Remedies, ‘the heart and soul’ of our Constitution.
