Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. Democracy helps accommodate diversity in the country, but it depends on how the government reacts to the demands of different social groups. When the democratically elected leader shares power and accommodates the reasonable demands of the minority communities, social divisions become less threatening to the nation's integrity. In India, the use of the English language for official purposes had to be stopped in 1965, but the non-Hindi states demanded the continuation of English. Later on, the union government responded in a positive way to avoid further conflict. Contrary to India, in Sri Lanka, the leaders elected from the majority community neglected the needs of minorities, which led to civil war throughout the country.
The correct statement is democracy helps in the accommodation of diversity in the country, but it depends on how the government reacts to the demands of different social groups.
