The history of developed countries indicates about the shifts that have taken place
between the sectors as given below:
(i) In the initial stages, tire primary sector was the most important sector. Most of the people were employed in this sector i.e., agricultural sector.
(ii) With the changes in the method of farming, the production increased tremendously. People started trading and other activities. Increase in production of grain also led to the need for transportation and other facilities. Activities increased but still most of the produced goods were natural products from the primary sector and most people were employed in this is sector.
(iii) After the inventions of machines, factories were established to manufacture goods. The industrial sector employed more and more people and the secondary sector became most Important in total production and employment.
(iv) In the past 100 years, there has been a further shift from secondary to tertiary sector in developed countries. This sector is also called service sector because it provides basic service such as teachers, doctors, lawyers, internet cafe, ATM booths. Tertiary sector has become most important in terms of production. At present, it employs the maximum number of people. So
there has been a shift from primary sector to secondary sector and then to tertiary sector or service sector in the developed countries.
“Giving power to Panchayats is also a way to reduce corruption and implementation of developmental schemes, they would naturally exercise greater control over these schemes. This would eliminate the corrupt middlemen. Thus, Panchayati Raj will strengthen the foundation of our democracy.”

The ban on speaking French in the town’s school in merchtem is not in keeping with the spirit of Belgium’s power sharing arrangements because this is a Flemish town. Dutch is spoken by the people in this region. The ban is an example of imposition of will of the majority on the minority which is against the principal of accommodation. This may result in strained relations between French- speaking people and Dutch-speaking people.
The conclusion drawn by Ouseph is correct. Every societies needs some form of power sharing even if it is small or does not have social divisions because power sharing leads to efficiency. In a democracy, all the people must be consulted directly or indirectly. If power is shared, then there will beRead more
The conclusion drawn by Ouseph is correct. Every societies needs some form of power sharing even if it is small or does not have social divisions because power sharing leads to efficiency. In a democracy, all the people must be consulted directly or indirectly. If power is shared, then there will be less disobedience to laws and policies of the government. People will feel that they are a party to the decision making process and other activities of the government. Power sharing is valuable and it should become a norm for all the societies.

(i) Prudential reason: Power sharing helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups. Majority community does not impose its will over others. Power sharing brings out better outcomes. It is a good way to ensure political stability. For example in India,
Hindi has not been imposed on the southern states. On the other hand, imposing the will of majority community undermines the unity of the nation as has happened in Sri Lanka.
(ii) Moral reason: In democracy, power sharing is necessary. Since all the people are affected by the policies of the government, they should be consulted in the governance of the country. They should be allowed to participate in decision making process. It is the basis of democracy. It is its very spirit. A legitimate government is one where citizens participate and acquire a stake in the system. Thus, moral reasons emphasise the very act of power sharing as valuable. In India, reservation of seats for SCs and STs in state assemblies and parliament is an example of moral reason.

Read the following passage and pick out any one of the prudential reasons for power sharing offered in this. “We need to give more power to the panchayats to realise the dream of Mahatma Gandhi and the hopes of the makers of our Constitution. Panchayati Raj establishes true democracy. It restores power to the only place where power belongs in a democracy − in the hands of the people. Given power to panchayats is also a way to reduce corruption and increase administrative efficiency. When people participate in the planning and implementation of developmental schemes, they would naturally exercise greater control over these schemes. This would eliminate the corrupt middlemen. Thus, Panchayati Raj will strengthen the foundations of our democracy.”
