Communal Deadlock And A Way To Solve It - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Ambedkar begins by analyzing the root causes of the communal deadlock, particularly the conflicting demands of Hindus and Muslims over representation and power-sharing. Muslims sought safeguards such as separate electorates and proportional representation to protect their minority status, while Hindus resisted these measures, arguing for a unified national identity. Ambedkar critiques both positions, highlighting the inadequacy of solutions that fail to address the realities of communal mistrust and inequality. Ambedkar proposes a radical but practical solution: the principle of political separation coupled with equal representation. He suggests that minorities, including Muslims, Christians, and Dalits, should have separate electorates to ensure their political autonomy, but with a cap on representation to prevent dominance by any single group. This arrangement, he argues, would balance the need for minority protection with the goal of national integration.
