Civics

Power sharing for unity and stability

In this Class 10 Civics topic from the chapter “Power-sharing,” students examine how sharing political power can strengthen national unity, protect the interests of different communities, and support stable democratic government. They explore the moral and practical reasons for power-sharing, compare major forms such as among organs, levels and social groups, and understand how inclusion, accommodation and checks on authority help prevent conflict. Examples from Belgium and Sri Lanka connect these ideas with real political choices.
