Answer:
It is
true that democracy is the best way to fight for recognition and reconciliation
of social diversity. In democracy, political expression of social division is
quite normal and healthy. India, Belgium and Yugoslavia are examples where
social diversities have been accommodated in a very positive manner.
Reservation of seats in the Legislatures and government service for the people
belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward
Classes (OBCs) offer such an example. Even women have been given reservation in
local bodies and efforts are being made to reserve seats for them in Parliament
and State Legislatures.
It is true that people who are discriminated against or
marginalised have to fight against the injustice shown to them. Sometimes their
struggles even become violent. But generally they take the democratic path in voicing
their demands in a peaceful and constitutional manner through their elected
representatives.
