Question:
State different forms of communal politics with one example each.

Answer:

Different forms of communal politics are as given below:

Everyday beliefs: Religious prejudices, stereotypes of religious communities, and belief in the superiority of one’s religion are so rare that we often did not recognise them even when we believe in it. For example In many regions, the members of lower classes are not allowed to enter the temples . Majoritarian dominance: A majority community tries to dominate minority communities in politics. This may compel to formation of a separate political unit by minority community. For example, in Sri Lanka, majoritarianism has been followed which has led to conflict in the country. Political mobilization on religious lines: Religious appeals are made to attract the voters. In politics, sacred symbols and religious leaders are also used sometimes to bring the followers of one religion together. Religious leaders are asked to move in favour of a political party. Communal violence: Sometimes communalism takes the ugliest form of communal violence, riots, and massacre. At time of partition, India and Pakistan suffered the worst communal riots. Even after independence, communal riots have taken place in India.

Popular questions of class 10 Social Science - Democratic Politics

State how caste inequalities are still continuing in India.

Read the following passage, and pick out any one of the prudential reasons for power sharing offered in this.

“We need to give more power to the panchayats to realise the dream of Mahatma Gandhi, and the hopes of the makers of our Constitution. The Panchayati Raj establishes true democracy. It restores power to the only place where power belongs in a democracy – in the hands of the people. Giving power to Panchayats is also a way to reduce corruption, and increase administrative efficiency. When people participate in the planning and implementation of developmental schemes, they would naturally exercise greater control over these schemes. This would eliminate the corrupt middlemen. Thus the Panchayati Raj will strengthen the foundations of our democracy."

Give arguments to support or oppose the following assertions:
* Industrialised countries can afford democracy but the poor need dictatorship to become rich.
* Democracy can’t reduce inequality of incomes between different citizens.
* Government in poor countries should spend less on poverty reduction, health, education and spend more on industries and infrastructure.
* In democracy all citizens have one vote, which means that there is absence of any domination and conflict.

Point out one feature in the practice of federalism in India that is similar to and one feature that is different from that of Belgium.

* A large number of farmers are committing suicide in different states of India.
* Following allegation of killing of three civilians in Gandwara in a fake encounter by Jammu and Kashmir police, an enquiry has been ordered.

The distinguishing feature of a federal government is:
(a) National government gives some powers to the provincial governments.
(b) Power is distributed among the legislature, executive and judiciary.
(c) Elected officials exercise supreme power in the government.
(d) Governmental power is divided between different levels of government.
