What do you learn from the principle followed in Belgium and Srilanka what was the theme or differences?

(i) In Belgium, the leaders respected the feelings and interests of all communities and were successful in maintaining the unity of the country. They recognized the existence of regional differences and cultural diversities. They took various steps such as amendments to the constitution in order to work out an arrangement that would maintain unity in the country. The arrangements such as equal number of ministers of Dutch and French speaking people has worked successfully.

(ii) On the other hand, majority community inn Sri Lanka tried to force its dominance over other communities. It has brought the country nearer to a civil war and unity of the country is threatened. This shows the path of accommodation is better than that of Majoritarianism and power sharing must be followed.
