Power sharing means dividing the power among different levels and groups in a democratic country so that no single authority has complete control. Power sharing ensures participation of all groups in the government. It avoids conflict and helps in fair and peaceful governance.

Forms of Power Sharing:

Among organs of government: Legislature, Executive, Judiciary
Among governments: Central, State, and Local
Among social groups: Based on language, religion, caste
Among political parties: Coalition governments

Advantages of Power Sharing:

Prevents dictatorship
Protects rights of all citizens
