How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
SECTION I
Q. No. 1: Answer the following questions in two sentences
any Six · (12 Marks - 2 marks each)
1.What is Coalition Politics? Give any one factor responsible for the rise of coalition politics in India.[2]
Answer
Coalition politics is the politics of government by alliance: where no single party wins a majority of seats, two or more parties agree on a common minimum programme, share ministerial offices in an agreed proportion, and together command a working majority in the legislature. The word comes from the Latin coalitio, to grow together.
One factor responsible for its rise in India: the decline of one-party dominance. The Congress system, which delivered single-party majorities from 1952 to 1967, broke down, and from 1989 to 2014 no party won a Lok Sabha majority, so government at the Centre was possible only by alliance, through the National Front, the United Front, the NDA and the UPA.
Other factors that would earn the mark equally: the rise of strong regional parties, the multi-party system produced by India's social diversity, caste and regional mobilisation after 1990, and the fragmentation of the vote.
