Thomman: Power sharing is necessary in societies which have religious linguistic or ethnic divisions.


Mathayi: Power sharing is suitable is suitable only for big countries that have regional divisions.


Ouseph: Every society needs some form of power sharing even if it is small or does not have social divisions.

Ouseph’s statement seems more correct and logical.

This power sharing results in upholding the spirit of our democracy.
