Default Let Solve Current Affairs

This thread is started with intention to tackle various issues that students normally face while preparing for Current Affairs. I am starting this thread to help many on this forum who were asking me various questions regarding relevant quotes, important heading, how to answer a question, etc etc. This all compelled me to pick up my notes again. I will try and share anything and every thing that may benefit you out of those compiled notes.

Regards,

Quotations on Democracy


1. Democracy by Ancient Philosophers (Aristotle/Plato)


In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme. (Aristotle)
Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. (Aristotle)


2. Quaid's vision of democracy (Specially when this question is asked in Pak Affairs Paper)


There are no people in the world who are more democratic even in their religion than the Muslamans.
Today, they are as applicable in actual life as they were 1,300 years ago. Islam and its idealism have taught us democracy.
You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of democracy, social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil.


3. Abraham Lincoln Definition of Democracy (very important)


Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.


4. UN Vision of Democracy



5. Then all other world famous personalities (Anyone you like or you remember) but above four are very important.


Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. John F. Kennedy
Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. Bernard Shaw

In Current Affairs there is nothing like important/expected question. you have to be very good in this subject, if you want to score good. So instead of relying on various list uploaded and updated by various internet user try and go through all the important topic, starting from World Wars to US Exit Afghan Policy.

Always Remember, That everything is very important in CA. So merge all those list in one and then go through all the topics in that list.
