(i) In any society people are bound to have differences of opinions and interests. These differences are particularly sharp in our country which has amazing social diversity.

(ii) People belong to different regions, speak different languages, practice different religions and have different castes. 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 its terms and others will have to accept that. But that will lead to resentment.

(iv) Democracy provides the only peaceful solution to this problem. In democracy, no one is permanent winner. No one is a permanent loser. Different groups can live with one another peacefully. In a diverse country like India, democracy allows different kinds of people to live together.

Answer 2

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

• A responsible kind of governance is one that is democratic.
• Democracy raises the bar for higher cognitive function and provides a means of resolving conflicts and disagreements.
• It raises citizens' sense of worth. Given that various individuals have varying ideas and interests, it offers a strategy for resolving disputes and disagreements.
• In a democracy, the citizens choose the representatives they want to represent them. The representative may be changed if they make a mistake in their selection.
• The error would be fixed if they voted for someone else. Moreover, the same mistake will not be repeated.
• Therefore, a nation's chosen leaders are in charge of all significant obligations as well as maintaining a safe environment.
