How is inequality a hurdle in the working of a democratic institution?
No doubt Inequality is a hurdle in the working of a democratic institution because of following reasons:
(i) In this unequal and undemocratic social structure, it is not surprising that in many cases, certain members belonging to particular groups, communities, castes of the village are not included or informed about meetings and activities of the village.
(ii) Democratization is difficult to achieve in a society that is plural / diverse.
(iii) Certain members belonging to a particular group are included.
(iv) Decisions in developmental activities are made by a few leaving the rest.
(v) Democratic measures do not work out in practice because inequality is a result of the structural features of the society.
