Rising Majoritarianism in India:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The main\nproblem of the country is communally-charged and a permanent religious\nmajority. There are often majority-minority tussles involving languages and\ncastes, for example. None of these factors are changing must, which is what\nmade majority rule inadvisable for Indian conditions sometimes.<\/li>
  2. The political\nparties in India get benefited by dividing people on basis of caste and class\npolitics. The Majoritarianism is generally used as a tool by these parties.\nParties have used sedition as a mean to curb criticism and voice of the people.<\/li>
  3. The failure\nof law and order agencies to deliver their duty within specific time erodes the\nfaith of community. The attacks on minority community by majority groups in\nsome areas of the country leads to the majoritarianism in that particular area.<\/li>
  4. The personality\ncult and blind faith too drives the mob psychology towards violent activities\nthat may create threat to the democratic fabric of the nation.<\/li>
  5. Virtual\nplatforms and social media is another dimension of this issue as it has reduces\nthe physical distance among the communities, making them very easy to come\ntogether for the purpose.<\/li>
  6. The religious\nagenda many times takes the form of violent vigilantism. The lack of\nrationality and awareness about the involved issue leads to the blind following\nby people.<\/li>
  7. With\nconcentration of power in hands of majority, minority is often being harassed\nand targeted which lead to injustice.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If the country is not open to positive criticism, there lies little difference between the pre and post-Independence eras. Expressions used in thoughts might be harsh and unpleasant to some, but that does not render the actions to be curbed. If the country is not inclusive and open criticism, it turn out as majoritarian democracy rather than a true democracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
