You have learnt that 'India is the only country that provided universal adult franchise to its citizens from the beginning.' Can you explain why India did it? Class 7

Answer:

India provided universal adult franchise from the beginning because it believed in political equality, democracy and social justice. This meant that every adult citizen, whether rich or poor, men or women, educated or not, any religion or caste had the right to vote. The leaders of India wanted to ensure that everyone could participate in shaping the country's future, reflecting the diverse voices and needs of its people. This was a significant step towards building a fair and just society.
