What is the undemocratic way of dealing with differences and conflicts? |
| Answer» (i)\xa0In any society people are bound to have differences of opinions and interests.\xa0These differences\xa0are particularly sharp in our country which has amazing social diversity.(ii) People belong\xa0to different regions,\xa0speak different languages, practice different religions and have different\xa0castes. The preferences of one group can clash with those of other groups.(iii) The conflict can be solved by brutal power. Whichever group is more powerful will dictate\xa0its terms and others will have to accept that. But that will lead\xa0to resentment.(iv) Democracy provides\xa0the only peaceful\xa0solution to this problem. In democracy, no one is permanent\xa0winner. No one is a permanent\xa0loser. Different groups can live with one another\xa0peacefully. In a diverse country like India, democracy\xa0allows different kinds of people to live together. | |
