The Indian national movement advocated for universal adult suffrage for these reasons:
1. Democratic Principles: Aimed to establish a representative democracy, granting every adult the right to participate in governance.
2. Inclusivity: Ensured equality by allowing all adults, regardless of background, to have a say in the country’s future.
3. Social Justice: Addressed historical discrimination by providing marginalized sections with voting rights.
4. National Unity: Fostering unity among diverse communities by giving them a stake in the nation’s progress.
5. Citizen Empowerment: Empowered individuals to actively engage in the nation’s development and decision-making process.
