Question

India with vast population and diversity represents a classic example of power sharing that exemplifies the very spirit of democracy. Justify the statement.

Answer 1

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.
