Majoritarianism
We always tend to rationalize all acts of representatives of majority. But we seldom think or dare to ask, what are the limitations of majority which doesn't permit to act in a certain manner or to do certain acts. If we understand this question we may get it's answer in the democracy as well, but remember limitations on majority is not something anti majority. Rather, limitations of majority give a space to every one to behave oneself and this is the space where free thinking resides. Free thinking is the backbone of a democracy. We go to vote. And we vote for someone. How do we decide whom to vote? Under fear, under intimidation, under duress, under some sort of corruption or under the influence of our own understanding of the state of affairs? The last one liberates us from the idea of majority or even the idea of minority. We, as a single entity separately are entitled to own our views and if this so our vote translate our free thinking into the system of democracy. So for very survival of democracy which acts as per the wishes of majority limitations on majority is needed.
When u don't like something make that a thing of dispute--a disputed property which no one can claim to own or possess. This is exactly what is being done. Liberty of choice is such a thing which if made disputed becomes debatable ; becomes adjudicable issue. Then u hv to go to arbitrators. And those arbitrators are only those who hv made it an adjudacable issue, so what will be the outcome of arbitration is crystal clear!!
This is what majoritarianism does to influence the ideas and definitions of all and then creates a state where through this process of arbitration ideas and definitions given by the majority are forced to be ideas and definitions of all. Ideas and definitions of majority becomes all pervading. And then the ideas of one nation, one tax, one nation, one language, one nation one election etc are allowed to rein the nation. The oneness necessarily makes the ideas and definitions of majority all pervading, all are forced to accept them as their own ideas and definitions, although all as one unit may or may not own or possess.
