Question
How has multi-party system strengthened democracy in India? Explain.

Answer

The multi-party system has strengthened democracy in India by:
  1. There are numerous parties in India apart from major ones like Congress and BJP. This has enabled representation of many groups as well as regions as some parties are stronger in one area than others.
  2. Division of votes has caused numerous parties to come together and form alliance or fronts to win elections like the United Progressive Alliance or Left Front.
  3. Since many central governments in India have been coalitions, the small parties of various regions also get to be part of the central government. This helps in incorporating diversity.
