Unit 3 Ch 7 : Outcomes of Democracy — Social Studies STD 10 — Question

Democracies accommodate social diversities when it is well understood that democracy is not just the rule of the majority, and that the rule of the majority is not just the rule of a single religious or social community.
In India different caste groups as well as weaker section are given proper representation. They are given reservation in government jobs and education. Democracy also ensures that the government is not formed by majority and has the representation of minorities as well.
In this way, democracy accommodates social diversity as it not only takes the interest of majority but it also takes care of the interests of weaker sections.
