Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Voting rights are a part and parcel of any democratic country. And it is the same for India. Previously in other democratic countries like the USA and France, voting rights were only guaranteed to wealthy men. Men without having much property were not allowed to vote. Women were completely excluded. But, when India got independent, it adopted the policy of Universal Adult Franchise. According to this, every adult citizen aged 18 years or above is free to vote and choose the representative who best represents his or her interest. Including all citizens in political processes is a very important characteristic of a democratic country. Universal Adult Franchise helped India to achieve that goal.
The correct statement is that Universal Adult Franchise is given to those less than 18 years of age.
