The execution of Socrates, the wisest man in Greece, filled Plato with contempt for democracy and believed that it had to be replaced by the rule of the wisest. That's why Plato was against democracy.

Socrates was one of the foremost philosophers of Greece. During his time there was great chaos in the political life of Athens which was a Greek City State. This resulted in the Athenian government condemning Socrates to death because of his teachings. According to Socrates, some beliefs are objectively true, some beliefs are objectively false.

Plato said every human being is endowed with three qualities though in different proportions. He said these qualities are Reason, which resides in a person's head, Spirit which resides in a persons heart and Appetite which resides in a person's stomach. He said these are the three parts of the human soul.

In Political Science, the most important concept around which the subject is built is The State. According to Plato in an Ideal State (i.e., the most suitable State for a human being to live in according to Plato) should be made up of three classes namely Ruling Class, Military Class and Economic Class.

Plato designed an education system based on various stages suited to the age of the students from childhood to adulthood. He also devised methods of eliminations as higher stages of education is reached by human beings depending on the proportion of the three parts of their souls namely reason, spirit and appetite. Persons who are found suited to fulfill economic duties of the State are separated from the ones suited for Ruling and Military services. In the second process of elimination, the persons suited for the ruling are given special training to become what Plato calls Philosopher Kings to rule his Ideal State.

Plato's idea of a constitution is much different from the modern understanding of this term. By constitution, he meant a particular way of life the people of a society have designed for their wellbeing.

He also said that there is a tendency of Aristocracy to degenerate into Timocracy, Timocracy into Oligarchy, Oligarchy into Democracy and Democracy into Tyranny.

Plato's Theory of Forms asserts that the physical world is not really the 'real' world; instead, ultimate reality exists beyond our physical world. Plato's philosophy asserts that there are two realms: the physical realm and the spiritual realm. The physical realm is the material stuff we see and interact with on a daily basis; this physical realm is changing and imperfect, as we know all too well. The spiritual realm, however, exists beyond the physical realm. Plato calls this spiritual realm the Realm of Forms (also called the Realm of Ideas or Realm of Ideals). Plato's Theory of Forms asserts that the physical realm is only a shadow, or image, of the true reality of the Realm of Forms.

Plato said, "Democracy is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequal alike."

Many sophists specialized in using the tools of philosophy and rhetoric, though other sophists taught subjects such as music, athletics, and mathematics.

Social stratification refers to social differentiation whereby society groups people based on their class, economic status, occupation, power, religion caste etc. People are categorised as inferior and superior based on their social position. Social stratification is found in all ranges of society and the system of classification find its roots from ancient times since people were only indulged in Hunting, gathering and status. Based on their position they are assigned different roles and status. Social stratification is done by society and it is not natural. Man for their own needs make groups and avail opportunities and as the result of social inequalities classification arises which categorises people.

Society differentiates its members in terms of superiority, inferiority , equality and other factors it divided itself into hierarchy of social groups called social stratification. Social stratification is social phenomena found in every society with different name and recognition. There are classes of people divided on some socially accepted basis in different societies. It is an ancient process since the birth of human civilisation, people have assigned roles and status according to their social position.

Society is full of different groups. Some of the social differences are based on births (religion, the caste of an individual) but some are based on choices. In India, people are free to worship any god. They are free to have faith or do not have faith in religion. 

Varna system started in Vedic Period. It finds mention in Rig Veda and Manusmriti. It is basically classification of people based on their occupation or position they hold in society according to which society is divided into four classes viz., Brahmans (priests or scholars having high position) , Kshatriyas (Warriors or knights), Vaishyas (traders), Shudras (unskilled workers or labourers). Varna in RigVeda means colour, complexion or outward experience. Varna system did not classify people as high and low or superior or inferior it was just classification in the order of the society based on the skills of people. According to the ancient text in Bhagvad Gita varna system is not hereditary but is based on karma(deeds). Hence the structure of four orders is based on quality and skills of the people and not by birth.

Untouchability is the ancient caste discrimination whereby the upper caste people considers lower castes people (Dalits) as polluted and they are not to be touched by swarnas(upper caste people), nor can they live in the same village as swarna, cannot drink water from same well and are also prohibited to enter temples or public places. It is the most inhumane practice deeply exercised in India. Untouchable suffers from various rights deprivation like social, economic, legal etc. 

Article 17 of the Constitution is the Fundamental Right which abolishes the practice of untouchability and makes it an offence punishable by law. In pursuance of this Article, The Untouchability Offences Act, 1955 renamed as Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1976 was enacted by the parliament which provides for pehal provisions for such practices.

Plato wrote in his book ‘The Republic’ on the Division of Labour. He said, “Human society is formed on natural inequalities. This natural inequality is based on division of labour”. A society’s need is fulfilled by different divisions of people. For example, the food is produced by farmers, cloth by weavers, and dresses are produced by tailors. The division of labour leads to organic merger of various sections of society. The Division of labour is necessary to fulfill the needs of social, economic and political needs of the society. But, there should be no exploitation in this process.

In his work, The Republic Plato had practically condemned Democracy. He had developed the idea that all were not fit to rule and that only the philosophers who had been specially trained for the purpose should rule. He said this because it was Athenian Democracy which condemned his teacher Socrates to death.

Division of labour means work being done by people depending upon their area of expertise, specialisation, skills and abilities. Division of labour creates economic strata and class system. People from different area of specialisation who work together to generate their source of livelihood and earn income.

Article 17 of the Constitution is the Fundamental Right which abolishes the practice of untouchability and makes it an offence punishable by law.

Division of labour increases productivity per worker and focus on generating economic growth with the works separated and people specialised in their task ot becomes more easy and effective to perform the task. In the contemporary world, with the era of Globalisation, division of labour is internationalised, countries are inclined to engage in work in the area they specialise to keep generate their economy and be in the league with rest of the Countries. They develop connection with other countries which specialises on other task or work thus facilitate global interaction.

According to Plato Reason, Spirit and Appetite are the three parts of the human soul. He said true justice is that these three parts should do their rightful business in order to make a human being whole. Secondly, these three parts existing in every individual, should be faithfully reflected in the State which is a collective of human beings as a whole through the formation of the three classes namely, Ruling Class, Military Class and Economic Class by which his Ideal State is formed.

The Indian Parliament enacted the Untouchability Offences Act1955, which was later amended and renamed in 1976 to become the Protection of Civil Rights Act. Under this Act, 'untouchability' as a result of religious and social disabilities was made punishable.
