                                    Question 8.
                                    \nDiscuss the importance of addressing the concerns of minorities. Why is it felt that majority based elections are not enough to help minorities ?

                                      \n
                                    1. The traditional notion of democracy has always upheld the voice of the majority over the minority.<\/li>\n
                                    2. So it is the fundamental importance that the minority is protected against discrimination and exploitation.<\/li>\n
                                    3. Basically India is a democratic state. In any democracy there is always a danger that the interest of majority conflicts with the interest of minorities. It may not be also.<\/li>\n
                                    4. If there is such a conflict, it is the interest of majority which will override the interest of the minority even if it happens to an unjust interest.<\/li>\n
                                    5. So it is felt that majority based elections are not enough to help minorities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                      Question 9.
                                      \nSeparate electorate was one method to protect minority interests. Can you think of some other methods that can be helpful for this purpose? For example, would it help if there was a rule that a non Muslim member of a council must consult the Muslim population of his\/her constituency before voting on an issue that concerned them? When would such a method work and under what conditions would it fail to be effective ?
                                      \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                                        \n
                                      1. The Indian Constitution paved a way – ‘reservations’ to the minorities. It is a wonderful solution for the problems of minorities.<\/li>\n
                                      2. It would not help.<\/li>\n
                                      3. Such a method would work in small village panchayats. In minorities also there may be difference of opinion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                        2. Peasants could think of a state where Hindu Zamindars and Moneylenders did not exploit them.<\/li>\n

                                          1. Japan and Southeast Asia were major refuges for Indian nationalists living in exile before the start of World War-II.<\/li>\n
                                          2. Japan has sent an intelligence mission to gain support from the Indian movement.<\/li>\n
                                          3. These missions were successful in establishing contacts with indian nationalists in exile supporting the establishment and organisation of the indian Independence league.<\/li>\n
                                          4. At the outbreak of World War – II, in Southeast Asia, 70,000 Indian troups were stationed in Malaya and later imprisoned by Japan after the fall of Malasia and Singapore.<\/li>\n
                                          5. From these prisoners of war, the first Indian National Army was formed and received considerable Japanese aid and support.<\/li>\n
                                          6. In 1943 the Japanese invited Bose to lead the Indian Nationalist Movement in East Asia.<\/li>\n

                                              1. The Indian soldiers felt very proud to fight for the country, so they didn’t scare of losing the war and felling into the hands of the British.<\/li>\n
