Ouseph's conclusion is correct because power sharing is a foundational principle of democracy, not just a mechanism for managing social divisions. The textbook context clearly states that 'in a democracy all power does not rest with any one organ of the government' and that 'an intelligent sharing of power among legislature, executive and judiciary is very important to the design of a democracy.' Additionally, the passage on Panchayati Raj demonstrates that power sharing reduces corruption and increases administrative efficiency—benefits that apply to all societies regardless of size or existing divisions. Thomman and Mathayi incorrectly limit power sharing to specific circumstances, whereas Ouseph correctly identifies it as universally necessary for democratic functioning.
