There are arguments in favour and against popular movements. Can you make a list  showing the merits and demerits of Nonpolitical popular movements.

Answer»

These days the popular movements have a lot of importance in politics.

Here are their advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages:

  • It helps the people to recognize the value of democratic movements.
  • It helps people to know the defects of political parties and the importance of social action.
  • It represents new social fellowship. In the past the political parties did not pay any heed to the complaints of people.
  • Mutual disputes are reduced. Different groups become active in social matters.
  • Such popular groups help in the growth and functioning of democracy.

Disadvantages:

  • Protests, dharnas, and rallies prevent governments from smooth functioning. Late decisions adversely affect proper ad ministration.
  • Most Movements were for or against a particular issue. Thus these movements get the support of only some particular groups of people. Their activities, therefore, are limited.
  • For democratic policies, there is a need for broad fellowships and unity. But such broad fellowship is not seen in most of these Movements.
  • These Movements can work only for limited objectives. Often there are clashes between these Movements and Parties. There is a big gap between them.
