An ideal society is judged by open interplay and shared interests between groups.

Evidence

The Mahatma says that the standards I have applied to test Hindus and Hinduism are too severe, and that judged by those standards every known living faith will probably fail. The complaint that my standards are high may be true. But the question is not whether they are high or whether they are low. The question is whether they are the right standards to apply. A people and their religion must be judged by social standards based on social ethics. No other standard would have any meaning, if religion is held to be a necessary good for the well-being of the people. — Ambedkar, B R, Annihilation of Caste_ The Annotated…, 1264 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
