To answer this question effectively, explain the core thesis: Democracy accommodates, it does not suppress. Use three distinct historical examples of this accommodation: 1. Mizoram (the 1986 Mizo Accord, showing transition from rebellion to statehood); 2. Punjab (the 1985 Rajiv-Longowal Accord, showing resolution of regional agitations); and 3. Andhra State Reorganization (linguistic states, showing how respecting regional identities can strengthen national unity).
