13. Importance of Power Sharing
• The first major reason favouring power sharing is that it
helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social
groups. It is believed that social conflicts often lead to
violence and political instability in the country. Thus power
sharing is a good way to avoid the political instability and
hence to maintain political order in the country. The
imposition of will and force of majority community over
minorities may sound attractive option but its existence is
short-lived as it undermines the unity of the country. The
dictatorship and autocracy of the majority community is not
just oppressive and unfair to minorities but often brings
destruction to them.

14. Importance of Power Sharing
• The second major reason supporting power sharing
has deeper motive in the spirit of democracy. Power
sharing is effective as democratic rule involves
sharing power with the affected people and those
who have to live with its effects, so people have a
right to be consulted on how they are to be governed.
In this way people acquires a stake in the system
through participation in forming a legitimate
government for their country.
