Prudential:

Power sharing is desirable because it helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between the various social groups. Since social conflict often leads to violence and political instability, power sharing is a good way to ensure political stability. Imposing the will of the majority community over the minority may look like an attractive option in the short run, but in the long run it undermines the unity of the nation. Tyranny of the majority is not just oppressive for the minority, it often brings ruin to the majority as well.

Moral: Power sharing is the basic spirit of democracy. A democracy rule involves sharing of power with those affected by its exercise, and who have to live with its effects. The basic principles of power, sharing include- 1. Government of different political parties, i.e., a coalition government. 2. Protection of minority rights. 3. Decentralization of power.thumbs up plz!!

A prudential reason for power sharing is that it leads to an avoidance of conflict between social groups. Since social conflict often leads to violence and political instability, power sharing is a good way to ensure the stability of political order. In India, seats have been reserved in legislatures for the socially weaker sections keeping in mind this prudential reason for power sharing.

A moral reason for power sharing is that it upholds the spirit of democracy.In a trulydemocraticsetup, thecitizens toohave a stake in governance. In India, the citizens can come together todebate and criticise the policies and decisions ofthe government. This in turn puts pressure on the government to rethink its policies and reconsider its decisions. This active political participation is in keeping with the moral reason for power sharing.

Tyranny of the majority undermines the unity of the nation therefore power sharing helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups and ensures stability of political order. This is the prudential reason. Eg- in India seats in panchayat elections are reserved those from marginalized group to ensure they have a stake in political order. Those who are affected by the exercise of power have the right to be consulted and acquire a stake by sharing that power. For eg- in India the policy of reservation in government recruitment ensures marginalized group are given means to become part of the structure of government.

modern democracies power sharing arrangements are in many forms like (i) Horizontal Distribution of Powers—In this form of power sharing, power is assigned by the constitution among different organs of government such as the Legislative, Executive and Judiciary. • Distribution ensures separation of powers among the organs at the same level so none of the organs can exercise unlimited power. • Each organ puts check on others in order to maintain balance of power under the system of check and balance. For example, legislature puts check on executive through no confidence motion, adjournment motion etc. (ii) Vertical Distribution of Powers • In this type of power sharing, power is shared at the different levels of government like National level and State level. • The general government for the country is known, as ‘Union Government’ or ‘Federal Government’ and the government at the constituent units is known as regional or state level government. • In India and Belgium there are three levels of government, i.e., local and community level government which is uniformly known as the Federal Division of powers. As this form of power sharing involves sharing of power from higher to lower levels, so, it is known as the vertical division of power sharing. (iii) Power sharing among different social groups • In another way power may also be shared among different social groups such as the religious and linguistic groups. • Among the minorities, the power is shared through the provision of reserved constituencies and women are given empowerment through reserved seats. (iv) Power sharing among Political Parties Sometimes power sharing arrangements can also be seen in the way political parties, pressure groups control the power. • The best example of power sharing among political parties is the form of coalition government. • Regarding power sharing among pressure groups and movements they participate by becoming the member of the governmental committee.

In India, seats are reserved for the weaker sections of society. Example: reservation of seats for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. This allows the weaker sections also to participate in the running of the Government.Moral Reason:?It upholds the spirit of democracy. In a truly democratic setup, the citizens too have a stake in governance. In India, the citizens can come together to debate and criticise the policies and decisions of the government.
