Question

Read the given extract and answer the following questions.

Thus, two different sets of reasons can be given in favour of power sharing. Firstly,

power sharing is good because it helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social

groups. Since social conflict often leads to violence and political instability, power

sharing is a good way to ensure the stability of political order. Imposing the will of

majority community over others may look like an attractive option in the short run, but in the long run it undermines the unity of the nation. Tyranny of the majority is not just

oppressive for the minority; it often brings ruin to the majority as well.

There is a second, deeper reason why power sharing is good for democracies. Power

sharing is the very spirit of democracy. A democratic rule involves sharing power with

those affected by its exercise, and who have to live with its effects. People have a right to

be consulted on how they are to be governed. A legitimate government is one where

citizens, through participation, acquire a stake in the system. Let us call the first set of

reasons prudential and the second moral. While prudential reasons stress that power

sharing will bring out better outcomes, moral reasons emphasise the very act of power

sharing as valuable.
