Question

state two reasons to say that caste alone cannot determine election results in india

Answer 1

Answer:

Two reasons why caste alone cannot determine election results in India.

(a) No political party wins the votes of all the voters of a caste or community.

(b) No Parliamentary Constituency in the country has a clear majority of one single caste. A candidate or party needs to win votes from more than one caste to win elections.

Answer 2

Solution:-

Caste alone cannot determine election results in India because:

• No parliamentary constituency has a clear majority of one single caste - to regard as a vote bank. Every candidate or party, therefore, needs to win the trust of the entire community.

• It's not certain that people with the same caste or community have the same interests. They may have different interests depending on their economic status and social condition. Thus caste cannot be a sole factor.

• Voters may have more than one candidate from their caste while others may not have any candidate from their caste.

• Irrespective of caste, voters consider the performance of the government and popularity of the leaders while voting. Hence the ruling party in the sitting MP or MLA frequently lose elections in our country.

Hence, we can clearly conclude that "caste alone cannot determine election result in India."
