Do you think that universal adult franchise is a necessity in a country like India? Give reason for your answer. (Give the most appropriate justification.)

A)  Yes. Because India is a democracy and universal adult franchise is a pillar of democracy.

B)  No. Because majority of the population in India is not educated, hence they do not understand what is good for them or bad; and who would be a good representative of them for the purpose.

C)  Yes. Because the government has to be sensitive to the people's needs and demands and act accordingly. Until and unless every sections of the society are duly represented in legislature, democracy in true sense of the term cannot be achieved.

D)  No. In India elections are rigged with money and muscle power and poor vast majority of population are an easy prey of these. As a result more often than not wrong persons get elected as people's representative.

E)  None of these
