Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Theo यानी God, जैसे theist में, और -cracy यानी शासन, जैसे democracy में। God के नाम पर धर्मगुरुओं का शासन = theocracy।

Theo means God, as in theist, and -cracy means rule, as in democracy. Rule by priests in the name of God is theocracy.

Exam note

शासन family साथ रखिए: theocracy = धर्मगुरु, democracy = जनता, autocracy = एक व्यक्ति, oligarchy = छोटा समूह, plutocracy = धनवान, meritocracy = योग्य लोग।

Keep the rule family together: theocracy (priests), democracy (people), autocracy (one person), oligarchy (a small group), plutocracy (the rich), meritocracy (the able).
