Statement: Should "literacy" be the minimum criterion for becoming a voter in India?
Arguments:
- No. Mere literacy is no guarantee of political maturity of an individual.
- Yes. Illiterate people are less likely to make politically wiser decisions of voting for a right candidate or party.
- No. Voting is the constitutional right of every citizen.
Answer: Option E
Clearly, illiterate people lack will power and maturity in thoughts. They may easily be misled into false convictions or lured into temptations to vote for a particular group. So, argument II holds. However, a person is literate does not mean that he is conscious of all political movements, which requires practical awareness of everyday events. Thus, I also holds strong. Besides, Constitution has extended the right to vote equally to all its citizens. Hence, III also holds.
