Democracy is made up of two words i.e. “demos” and “kratos” which mean power or government of the people. The first democracy came in to being 350 B.C in Greek city of Athens. Chemist Stolen was said to be its founder who was very intelligent and wise politician. He raised vocal against slave society and became the source of independence for many people. Due to him, a great democratic awareness came among the people and the world’s first democracy came in to being in Athens. The new democracy of Athens was purely of peoples. No any rich had superiority over the others. All the citizens used to gather at a particular place weekly in order to decide policies of the government. All the decisions of judiciary, peace and war were taken by the common committee of the people. That democracy was not on the basis of parties but it was under the Empire. Regular elections were conducted by the two ways that is:- 1. Draw 2. Majority of votes. Following benefits were achieved by that democracy of Athens: 1. Every individual, how much poor he might be, had the right to have every position in government according to the rules of democracy. 2. A system was introduced in which 1400 officers were posted in the state so that people can be appointed on different posts. Tenure of job was up to one year and no previous employee can be appointed again. Everyone gets posts by election. 3. State had its own assembly. Every individual above 20 years was its member and number of attendants of assembly would not exceed 5000. 4. Mayor was selected 40 times a year for assembly. Assembly had speaker which together with mayor control the assembly. 5. Decision of the assembly was considered final. 6. Implementation of bill of assembly was done by the 10 appointed officers. 7. Judges of courts were elected by votes. Cases were solved by majority of votes, after which no ruler had right to admit the appeal. Sindhi culture has always remained democratic. Rulers used to have independence of expression of views. Most rulers used to hold local court system where everyone was given chance to express the views. Emperors and rulers used to go in markets like local people and solved the problems of the people. Courts were present to unsure the justice and rights of the people.
