Following are the primary conditions under which democracies are able to accommodate social diversities:

• A democracy has to take into consideration the general will. Responsibility lies on the majority community in the society to accommodate the minority in the decision making process and making it truly representative of all the sections of population.
• Rule by majority community should not become a rule by majority on the basis of religion or race or linguistic identity. A true democracy is one in which every citizen gets to be in majority at some point of time. No individual should be barred from participating in a democracy on the basis of religion, caste, community, creed and other such factors.
