Answer:
The
two most significant challenges that Indian democracy is facing are
Casteism and Communalism.
(i) Casteism People from different castes form
different communities and they have different
interests. Under the caste system, work is divided on the
basis of the caste of the person.
The high-paying and respectable jobs are usually given to
the higher caste groups and low-paying jobs are given to the low caste groups.
Castes have led to caste discrimination in the country.
(ii) Communalism It means promoting the ideas of a
particular religion with a view to divide the society on religious grounds. It
believes that people belonging to one religion belong to one community. The
British followed the policy of 'Divide and Rule' and created differences in two
major communities, the Hindus and the Muslims. This sowed the seeds of
Communalism in the society.
To overcome these challenges, our Constitution makes our
country as a secular country, where citizens have complete freedom to follow
any religion and gives emphasis on equality of status and opportunity for all.
