Detailed Solution

Democracy means a government run by the people belonging to the majority community is a false statement. In a democracy, it is established that the government will be run by the majority. But 'majority' does not mean the majority in numbers based on religion or community. The majority implies the majority of opinion. The majority community may also be part of the majority opinion. So, rule by a majority community is not offensive in democracy if it is based on majority opinion. The suppression of the rights of minority communities by the majority, on the other hand, is harmful to democracy.
The correct statement is democracy is a government by a majority, but this does not mean a majority community but the majority opinion.
