> not understanding the difference between majoritarianism and democracy Democracy literally is: rule of the people. If the majority in a country votes one way and this way is not acceptable to the minority, there are a few ways to frustrate the will of the people: - give minorities veto power over decisions affecting the lives of the majority - install a permanent plutocracy within various arms of the government that is not answerable to the people in any way, shape or form This happens in India all the time. Know, however, that all these options are undemocratic to the core. And eventually ends badly for everyone involved.
