Disclaimer-
Before you fire me with your kind words, know that I belong to the largest democracy in the world and this article is majorly intended to share a perspective to make amendments in the existing system to make it inclusive.
Defining inclusion-
Inclusion has had many weird definitions and everyone agrees that inclusion is accepting difference of opinions and identities (not just those two but the article will be considering these two)
We know that the minorities in any given countries are faced with a challenge of being different. Some schools monetise on the minorities by celebrating their existence. You may disagree with this but the point here is, a school established in 1600s got a first minority in 1900s. And now the same schools are making comments on minorities as if they are the sole protectors of the minority groups. So, it took them 300 years to realise this? Seems that way.
Coming back to the topic- Democracy is defined by the simple fundamental of "Majority rule". The majority decides who they want and the rest, regardless of who they vote will have to accept that.
Yes, you see where I am going with this.
We have known for fact that the majority of population has a similar mindset when it comes to "their own kind". People have different opinions and the minorities group have an opinion that widely differs from that of the majority. (This is one of the reasons why when a minority person succeeds- it becomes a big deal coz that person succeeded despite the inherent bias of majority rules)
Yet, on a national scale, if you observe, the majority votes for who they favour and who shares the same perspective and the minorities have to accept despite not willing to vote for that person. (Trump and Hillary are exceptions to this rule- I call it more of a pick the better of the two evils- story for another day)
For example,
In USA, the elections are held every 4 years. Legal age to vote is 18 years. Average life span is about 80 years. That leaves us with 62 years. A man can face 16 elections on average if that is the case. So, let's say this person is from a minority group and is voting consistently for a person who he doesn't feel a fit with for 16 elections. The person he voted for never gets elected in any of those elections.
Unfortunately, this man has literally spent his whole life just dealing with the fact that he has literally been excluded from the rest of then people his whole life and has never been heard.
Now this is where democracy clashes with inclusion.
Good people have died willing to see the change they seek and that change was never brought just because the concept of majority rules.
If changes need to be made we need a new kind of policy where in we can have the voices of minorities heard. People should not have to follow the rest of the people's choices just because a larger population thinks that things have to be done their way. We know for fact that the world is changed by people who challenged the status quo.
A person's individuality needs to be addressed.
Imagine a world where we are not oppressed and have a sense of individuality and self worth than a world where we just have to accept what a larger group seems wise.
