Ramesh, the idea that “Only graduates should run for elections” has issues. It excludes many capable individuals without formal education. Education doesn’t guarantee good governance, ignoring valuable experiences. This approach contradicts democracy’s essence, which values inclusivity and equal opportunities for all citizens. Political representation benefits from diverse perspectives, not just educational qualifications. In a democracy, the focus should be on competency, vision, and the ability to serve, rather than solely on academic qualifications.

(a) In a Parliamentary democracy, only the leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha can become the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister in India is not directly elected by the people because, in a parliamentary democracy like India, the leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha assumes the role of Prime Minister. The people vote for their local representatives in parliamentary elections, and the leader of the party or coalition that secures the majority in the Lok Sabha becomes the Prime Minister. This system ensures that the Prime Minister is accountable to the elected members of Parliament, reflecting the will of the majority in the legislature rather than through a direct election by the populace.

Subject: Seeking Redressal for Violation of Fundamental Rights
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your attention a distressing incident that occurred during my visit to [College Name] for MBA course admission. The clerk blatantly discriminated against me based on my social background, violating my fundamental rights guaranteed under the Indian Constitution.
The clerk at the college refused to accept my application, citing my social status as the son of a sweeper, and unjustly implied that I was unsuitable for managerial aspirations due to my community background. This discriminatory behavior denied my rights, particularly violating:
1. Right to Equality (Article 14): The clerk’s refusal based on my social background violates my right to equality before the law, ensuring equal treatment without discrimination.
2. Right Against Discrimination (Article 15): I was unjustly discriminated against based on my caste, a direct contravention of the constitutional provision prohibiting discrimination on grounds of caste, religion, race, sex, or place of birth.
This incident not only undermines my aspirations but also reflects a deeply entrenched societal bias that impedes the realization of equal opportunities for all.
I humbly request your immediate intervention to rectify this injustice. I seek your assistance in ensuring that such discriminatory behavior is addressed, and appropriate actions are taken against the responsible individual to prevent such incidents from recurring.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I remain hopeful for your prompt action to uphold the fundamental rights enshrined in our Constitution.
This letter highlights the violation of Manoj’s fundamental rights and seeks the district collector’s intervention for redressal, emphasizing the need to prevent discrimination based on social background or caste.

See lessThree friends went to watch a film that showed the hero becoming Chief Minister for a day and making big changes in the state. Imran said this is what the country needs. Rizwan said this kind of a personal rule without institutions is dangerous. Shankar said all this is a fantasy. No minister can do anything in one day. What would be your reaction to such a film?
