Answer 1

A. What do you mean by majoritarianism?

Majoritarianism, the idea that the numerical majority of a population should have the final say in determining the outcome of a decision.

B. Find out the various means through which majority groups are dominating minority groups in our day to day life.

• Minority - people who are singled out for unequal treatment, and who view themselves as objects of collective discrimination.
• Dominant group - not a majority, but group with power, privileges, and social status.

C. How does the Constitution of India protect the minority group in India? Explain by giving a suitable example.

The First Amendment gives all citizens basic rights. It is through these rights that the minority stays protected. The right to free speech and the right to assemble allow the minority to be heard, which gives them the opportunity to grow and become the majority.
