Question

" A wise constitution gives equal importance to all ethnic groups.". The statement signifies which reason of power sharing?

Answer 1

A democratic country aims at a welfare state and the Constitution is the guardian of this principle. Right to equality, includes equality before law, prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth, and equality of opportunity in matters of employment, abolition of untouchability and abolition of titles. These conditions play vital role in order to create socio-political conditions for the development of democracy. In case ethnic groups are treated differently, there is a chance of a revolt and the value of equality will be demeaned.
