Question 1.
\nWhat would have happened in South Africa if the black majority had decided to take revenge on the whites for all their oppression and exploitation?
\nAnswer:
\nIn that case there would have been bloodshed everywhere in South Africa. It could have led to a division of the country into blacks and whites. Thank God for all the goodness that the blacks showed towards the whites. They decided to forgive the whites for the atrocities they had committed while in power. This gesture of the blacks has a great inspiring force. It is rare and so praiseworthy.<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\nThis is not fair! What was the point in having a Constituent Assembly in India if all the basics were already decided?
\nAnswer:
\nIn a democracy, it is the Constituent Assembly (an assembly of people\u2019s representatives) that writes a Constitution for a country. It was established in India after the country attained independence. It took help of the basics which included right to freedom, universal adult franchise, right of minorities, etc. to deliberate on the Constitution. These basics were guiding principles which were further developed and expanded in order to establish a welfare state in India. So, it is not appropriate to say that there was no point in having a Constituent Assembly in India. It had its own valuable role to play in the making of the Indian Constitution.<\/p>\n
