Abstract
Democracy signifies the rule of the people by which decisions are made by the majority in terms of how they are governed, and this concept has finally come to be construed as a form of government where sovereign powers are vested in elected representatives. Social scientists debate whether democracy is an ideal or a value. In that sense, we argue that it is a value that can lead to good governance and makes a State meet its obligation of ensuring that its citizens enjoy their rights fully and if there are derogations, done within the limits of the prescribed law. However, we treat democracy as an ideal because it can never be realized in totality and Dahl’s concept of polyarchy takes center stage in the practice of democracy.
