Abstract

Democracy: The Cornerstone of a Free and Just Society

Poulmi Biwas*

Democracy, derived from the Greek words demos (people) and kratos (power or rule), is more than just a political system—it is a philosophy of governance grounded in the belief that sovereignty belongs to the people. It promotes individual freedoms, equality, and the right to participate in decision-making processes that shape society. In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, democracy serves as both a guiding ideal and a practical framework for achieving inclusive, responsive governance.
