Question 12 Marks

Do you think there should be family monopoly in politics?

Answer

There is no place for family monopoly in politics.
The elected representatives serve the people till their term lasts.
People vote out the inefficient representatives out of power in next election.
If there is monopoly of one family, the perspective of democracy becomes narrow, common people cannot share power.
If any inefficient heir comes to power, he or she could be a great loss for the party, people as well as the nation.
Family monopoly in politics is a major problem before democracy in India.
Monopoly of just one family in politics reduces democratic space. Common people cannot participate in the public sector.

In spite of economic reforms China accepted dominance of only one party. Is China a democratic nation?

Answer

All the offices in the party are elected through internal elections.

However, China accepted economic reforms and became part of World Trade Organization.
