Read the given passage carefully and answer the following questions :
Above all, the linguistic states underlined the acceptance of the principle
of diversity. When we say that India adopted democracy, it does not
simply mean that India embraced a democratic constitution, nor does it
merely mean that India adopted the format of elections. The choice was
larger than that. It was a choice in favour of recognising and accepting
the existence of differences which could at times be oppositional.
Democracy, in other words, was associated with plurality of ideas and
ways of life.
(i)
What is meant by linguistic states ?
(ii)
Why were linguistic states formed in India ? Explain any two
reasons.
(iii) How is democracy in India associated with plurality of ideas and
