Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Consider the following statements.
- Indian brand of socialism is both a ‘democratic socialism’ and ‘communistic socialism’.
- Democratic socialism holds faith only in public sector.
- Democratic socialism aims to end poverty, ignorance, disease and inequality of opportunity.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
The Indian brand of socialism is a ‘democratic socialism’ and not a ‘communistic socialism’ (also known as ‘state socialism’) which involves the nationalisation of all means of production and distribution and the
abolition of private property. Democratic socialism, on the other hand, holds faith in a ‘mixed economy’ where both public and private sectors co-exist side by side. As the Supreme Court says, ‘Democratic socialism aims to end poverty, ignorance, disease and inequality of opportunity. Indian socialism is a blend of Marxism and Gandhism, leaning heavily towards Gandhian socialism’.
