Question

Read the passage carefully:
1. Politics of coalition has become the ultimate truth of Indian politics these days. No doubt, a coalition gives the
chance and pleasure of running a government, but in the course of time, temporal friendship, deceit and blackmailing
turn out to be the cause of brutal termination of a coalition government.

2. The Indian society is divided into different religions, castes, sects and regional mindsets. There are regional parties
having special zones for them. These small and regional groups never hesitate to indulge in the act of blackmailing for their own purpose. There is no discussion on the burning and relevant topics of national interest. These coalitions
have become a severe headache for our nation. Their main ambition is to achieve power at any cost.

3. The soul of India lies in the unity of its diverse culture but the main inspiration for the politics of coalition is to
get an easy access to the throne. The Indian culture aims at unifying its people of different sects while politics
keeps an eye on dividing the Indian masses into castes, regions and religions.

4. In early post-colonial period, ideologies were meant to unite different sects of people. The Congress was a union of people from different points of view but the Communist Party, the Jansangh, and the Socialist Party were totally based upon their strong ideologies. They were quite dedicated to build a society, rather a nation, based upon nationalism, communalism or socialism. In order to stengthen their ideology among the party members, they used to organise special camps and sessions.
