DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Mahajan (the Center for Political Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University) observes that multiculturalism has deepened democratic consciousness through its ability to uncover culture-based discrimination even after legal equality is ensured. She defines multiculturalism, then goes on to analyze the concept of differentiated citizenship within which claims for special rights for minorities and marginalized groups are justified. She suggests that while differentiated citizenship may promote diversity, it also stifles dissent within the community. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
