elections are all about caste and nothing else . Justify the statement
Answers
Answer:yes
Explanation:
The focus on election in politics makes us believe that elections are all about cast but this is far from true...because:-
-No parliamentary constituency in India have a clear majority of a single caste .So the candidate or the party had to win the confidence of more than one caste or community in order to win the election.
-No party can win all the votes from the voters of a caste or community.
-Many political parties may put up candidates belonging to the same caste .So some voters will find many candidates from their caste while many voters will find no candidate from their caste.
-The ruling party,the sitting MP and MLA frequently loose election ,thjs would not have happened if all the caste or community were frozen in one political preference.
Explanation:
(i) Constituencies are a mixture of people belonging to different castes :
No parliamentary constituency in the country has a clear majority of one single caste. So, every candidate and party needs to win the confidence of more than one caste and community to win elections.
(ii) Different choices even within caste : No party wins the votes of all the voters of a caste or community because even within the community, people have different choices. When people say that a caste is a ‘vote bank’ of one party, it usually means that about two-thirds of the voters of that community.
(iii) Hunt for a dominating caste : Most of the political parties may put up candidates from the majority caste. But even this cannot guarantee their victory because some voters have more than one candidate from their castes, while many voters have no candidate from their castes.
History of elections : According to history of Indian elections, the ruling party and the sitting Member of the Parliament (MP) or Member of the Legistative Assembly (MLA) frequently lose elections in our country. This proves that though casteism and communalism play a major role in politics, but elections are not about caste and communalism.
