Democracy and mass illiteracy do not go together.
 

Democracy and mass illiteracy do not go together.
Outline.
A. Introduction:
Democracy is rule of the masses, and it will succeed only if the masses are educated.
B. Democracy and mass illiteracy follow the opposite path:
1.democracy requires honest and competent political leadership, whereas ignorant masses cannot choose the right men.
2.in an illiterate society, the masses and the rulers don not practise democratic norms and values.
3.in democracy, accountability of rulers is essential but illiterate masses cannot hold the rulers accountable.
4.ignorant masses hold regressive socio-cultural, religious views and hence, cannot promote democracy on progressive lines.
5.democracy means participation of all without any differences on the basis of caste , class , creed and gender but it does not happen in an ignorant society.
6.feudalism takes roots in an illiterate society which wrecks havoc with socio-economic, political institutions of society.
7.civilised dissent is essential for social progress and consolidation of democracy but it remains on to the backfoot in ignorant, intolerant societies.
8.illiterate and ignorant masses hinder gender equality which costs the democracy dearly.
9.weak structure of the institutions of an ignorant society cannot promote democracy in a dynamic way.
10.democracy in ignorant societies of the third world is struggling to take roots.
C. The situation in pakistan perspective:
1.democracy in pakistan is fragile due to chronic mass illiteracy.
2.strong socio-cultural, religious identities of the masses have hampered the process of creating modern, progressive democratic society.
3.feudal mindset, fostered by illiterate masses, has corrupted the national institutions.
4. The very structure of the intitutions lacks progressive outlook.
5. Women remain terribly disempowered resulting into an unequal society.
6.accountability,transparency, rule of law and adherence to human rights remain elusive
7.thus, exploitation, indiscipline, corruption and mismanagement reflects the poor performance of democracy.
D. Suggestions to ensure true democracy through education:
1. Real democracy can come to pakistan once the people's freedom, education and income increase with development.
2. Middle class can promote democracy through education
3. Women emancipation is imperative for demcratic transformation of the society.
4.media can bring awareness about education in the society.
5. The role of civil society organisation is essential in highlighting the importance of education in democracy.
E. Conclusion:

yu are right dear,,,however, i already do this: though i could not highlight the headings here.

"Democracy and mass literacy follow the opposite paths"

With due regard, I think it is your hypothesis and your general views pertaining democracy that follow opposite paths.

In my opinion, democracy and mass literacy go hand in hand like two parallel roads and that there is a positive regression between the two. Consider, for example, the state of democracy and the rate of literacy in Pakistan now and a decade ago, or at the time of its birth. There is an improvement indeed, a little tough. Also research the cases of established democracies in this regard. Do you think that in USA or Uk, role model democratic countries, had an overnight paradigm shift in their governing systems and that they never happen to have struggled for such levels of democracies? Or do you simply mean that people in today's established democracies were born literate? Indeed, they struggled for centuries to establish their self-made governing system on the lands they themselves inhabit. There were resistance, opposition and finally resurgence. Now, the third world countries - according to their monetary and social standards btw - are taking relatively longer to establish stable democracies due to a number of factors, most of which you mentioned earlier. I would add to those factors religion as a major factor if you are talking about Muslim specific countries.

Based on your arguments, one reaches at the conclusion that a home to democracy cannot shelter literacy, or that democracy is not an appropriate form of government, at least not for third world countries because people here are by and large ignorant and/or illiterate, and hence it should be rejected outright.

"Real democracy can come to Pakistan once the people's freedom, education and income increase with development"

Your suggestion is what you earlier described and quite elaborately identified as the problem.

After food, shelter and cloth, health, education and (human + physical) development are what people collectively strive for, be it under any form of government. And democracy being the government by, for and of the people amd democracy essentially being a participation serves that cause. Literacy also known as education level of a person gives birth to democracy which in turn raises literacy level or one may say it is a self enforcing cycle. The better the one gets, the prosperous gets the other. And btw democracy knocked our doors too after those great Quaid and Iqbal got literate enough 😊. But, sadly, afterwards we could not carry it with the same glory. Anyways, dealing with your argument that it is because of our ignorance and illiteracy that we are ruled by corrupt lot. I, personally, call this situation of ours more than illiteracy and more than anything - a humanitarian crisis. Insan jub peda hota hai to Wo apnay sath fitrat e Saleem le kar aata hai jo usay ghalat or sahi k darmiyan farq btati hai. It is a crisis of which few talk. A crisis that is not even on the agenda of HRCP. All they care about is women's right, freedom of expression and bla bla bla.. All based on the standards of westren societies. However, the solution to corruption lies individually inside us and yes democracy enforces literacy which in turn stablizes democracy. 😊"Democracy and mass literacy follow the opposite paths"

The real problem is corruption and the title should be democracy and mass literacy follow opposite paths when corruption prevails.

we are talking about democracy and illiteracy'. If an essay is asked in the paper, will you ask the examiner to change the topic or modify it ??
Dear, your arguments are not in consonance with what has been asked in the topic.

Well, that is what i meant. Democracy and mass illiteracy are not in opposition. One will flourish the other.

Haha. And by asking questions i didn't mean that way. Just for the sake of arguing i put forth these questions my dear. And yes, the title i chose was for your outlines. And if one favors the view that democracy eliminates/encounters mass illiteracy, my points can make consonance.

Democracy and mass literacy** 😊
