How does democracy differ from a monarchy or a dictatorship?

In a democracy, the people rather than the government have the supreme power.

Explanation:

Democracy: the power of those in authority is limited because the people retain the supreme power.

Dictatorship: a ruler or small group with absolute power over the people holds power, often through force.

Monarchy: a government in which authority over the people is retained through a trade of allegiance.

the caste system in india is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste. it has origins in ancient india, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern india, especially the mughal empire and the british raj.it is today the basis of educational and job reservations in india.it consists of two different concepts, varna and jati, which may be regarded as different levels of analysis of this system.

the caste system as it exists today is thought to be the result of developments during the collapse of the mughal era and the british colonial regime in india. the collapse of the mughal era saw the rise of powerful men who associated themselves with kings, priests and ascetics, affirming the regal and martial form of the caste ideal, and it also reshaped many apparently casteless social groups into differentiated caste communities.the british raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration
