Read the following passage and answer the
questions 11 to 15:
While
the British rule in India was detrimental to the economic development of the
country, it did help in starting of the process of modernizing Indian society
and formed several progressive institutions during that process. One of the
most beneficial institutions, which were initiated by the British, was
democracy. Nobody can dispute that despite its many shortcomings; democracy was
and is far better alternative to the arbitrary rule of the rajas and nawabs,
which prevailed in India in the pre-British days.
However,
one of the harmful traditions of British democracy inherited by India was that
of conflict instead of cooperation between elected members. This was its
essential feature. The party, which got the support of the majority of elected
members, formed the Government while the others constituted a standing
opposition. The existence of the opposition to those in power was and is
regarded as a hallmark of democracy.
In
principle, democracy consists of rule by the people; but where direct rule is
not possible, it's rule by persons elected by the people. It is natural that
there would be some differences of opinion among the elected members as in the
rest of the society.
Normally,
members of any organizations have differences of opinion between themselves on different
issues but they manage to work on the basis of a consensus and they do not
normally form a division between some who are in majority and are placed in
power, while treating the others as in opposition.
The
members of an organization usually work on consensus. Consensus simply means
that after an adequate discussion, members agree that the majority opinion may
prevail for the time being. Thus persons who form a majority on one issue and
whose opinion is allowed to prevail may not be on the same side if there is a
difference on some other issue.
It
was largely by accident that instead of this normal procedure, a two party
system came to prevail in Britain and that is now being generally taken as the
best method of democratic rule.
Many
democratically inclined persons in India regret that such a two party system
was not brought about in the country. It appears that to have two parties in
India – of more or less equal strength - is a virtual impossibility. Those who regret the
absence of a two-party system should take the reasons into consideration.
When
the two party system got established in Britain, there were two groups among
the rules (consisting of a limited electorate) who had the same economic
interests among themselves and who therefore formed two groups within the
selected members of Parliament.
There
were members of the British aristocracy (which landed interests and consisting
of lord, barons etc) and members of the new commercial class consisting of merchants
and artisans. These groups were more or less of equal strength and they were
able to establish their separate rule at different times.
