Question

what are the challenges to democratic elections in India​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Challenges in India

In India, there are a couple of problems that stand in the way of free and fair elections. Some of these are:

The rigging of poll booths.

Some big political parties have an obvious advantage where they can use an excess of money power to ‘buy’ votes with bribery.

Even while campaigning, smaller parties have a disadvantage since they don’t have as much money or power as the bigger parties.

Populism is also a major problem in India.

Parties in India follow caste politics where parties give the ‘ticket’ to a person who is from a scheduled caste so that in his/ her constituency, he is sure to win. This entrenches power in only one caste and at the same time violates the sacred purpose of reservation
