Model Answer

India accommodates linguistic diversity by giving equal recognition to all 22 Scheduled Languages, reflecting an inclusive, non-majoritarian approach where no single language is imposed on citizens.

Explanation

The examiner wants you to connect the specific example (22 languages, exam choice) to India's broader federal/inclusive approach. Key contrast is with Sri Lanka's majoritarian Sinhala-only policy. One crisp sentence linking the fact to the principle scores full marks. Avoid writing more than 1–2 lines for a 1-mark question.
