State one prudential reason and one moral reason for power sharing with an example from the Indian context.
One prudential reason for power sharing is that it helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups. Since social conflict often leads to violence and political instability, power sharing is a good way to ensure the stability of the political order. An example from the Indian context is the Panchayati Raj system, where giving power to local bodies helps reduce corruption and increases administrative efficiency.
A moral reason for power sharing is that it is the very spirit of democracy. A democratic rule involves sharing power with those affected by its exercise. People have a right to be consulted on how they are to be governed. A legitimate government is one where citizens, through participation, acquire a stake in the system.
Explanation
The answer draws directly from the 'Why power sharing is desirable?' section of the text to define the prudential reason (stability/reducing conflict) and the moral reason (spirit of democracy). It utilizes the specific example of 'Panchayati Raj' provided in the context (Question 5 passage) to illustrate the Indian context, linking it to the prudential outcome of 'administrative efficiency' mentioned in the text.
