Which variant of liberalism espouses sympathetic consideration of cultural differences, group rights and majority-minority relations as its core values ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2019 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (23-Jun-2019)
The correct answer is

Multiculturalism

Liberal multiculturalism (associated with Will Kymlicka, Charles Taylor and Bhikhu Parekh) extends liberal values to culturally plural societies. It argues that equal respect for individuals requires recognition of their cultural identities.

Its core values are a sympathetic consideration of cultural differences, group-differentiated (minority) rights such as self-government and polyethnic rights, and fair terms of majority–minority relations. This matches the description exactly.

Classical liberalism stresses individual rights, limited government and free markets; it treats people as individuals, not as members of cultural groups.

Communitarianism (Sandel, MacIntyre, Walzer) is a critique of liberal individualism that emphasises the shared good of the community, rather than a liberal theory of group rights.

Libertarianism (Nozick, Hayek) emphasises self-ownership, property rights and a minimal state, and is hostile to special group rights.

Hence, the answer is Multiculturalism.
