Civics

Belgium and Sri Lanka examples

बेल्जियम और श्रीलंका के उदाहरण

In this Class 10 Civics topic from the chapter Power-sharing, students compare how Belgium and Sri Lanka responded to ethnic and linguistic diversity. Belgium’s arrangements—community government, regional autonomy and accommodation among language groups—show how sharing power can build trust and unity. Sri Lanka’s majoritarian policies, including the Sinhala Only approach, help students understand how excluding Tamil communities created conflict. The comparison highlights why democratic power-sharing matters for equality, stability and national unity.
