Answer:
A belief that the majority community should be able to rule a country in whichever way it wants, by disregarding the wishes and needs of the minority is majoritarianism.
Yes, it is wrong if a majority community in a country rules.
The very idea of power-sharing has emerged in opposition to the notions of undivided political power.
A positive attitude towards diversity and willingness to accommodate it, is good for democracy.
Power in the hands of one community will make the other community feel marginalised, deprived and discriminated.
The struggle against such inequalities sometimes takes the path of conflict and defiance of State power as in Sri Lanka.
