All you are saying is that democracy ensures that people do not break each other’s head. This is not harmony. Should we be happy about it?

Model Answer

Preventing violence is important, but harmony involves mutual respect, inclusion, and justice. Democracy offers a framework to resolve conflicts peacefully. However, more efforts are needed. Policies must promote equality, respect for diversity, and economic justice. Civic education and inclusive practices build trust. Only then can we say we have true harmony, not just absence of conflict.
