2.
(a) Read the following paragraph and write your opinion on it
The 1990s were years of very significant change in post Independence India. With the transformation to a competitive multiparty system, it became near impossible for any single party to win a
majority of the seats and form a government of its own. Since 1989, all governments that had
formed at the national level have been either coalition or minority governments. A number of
national and regional parties had to come together to form governments at the control. This meant
that the political ideologies and programmes of a number of parties had to be accommodated and
a common agreement had to be arrived at. Thus no party could pursue its extreme agendas and
had to tone down their approaches. While this enabled the central government to become more
sensitive to multiple view points in polities and policy matters, it also caused considerable instability. Even small parties tried to gain undue advantage as the withdrawal of their support could cause
the fall of the government.
Sometimes this also caused 'policy paralysis' as the coalition could not implement any policy which
called for serious change for fear of withdrawal of support by one the other partners.

Democracy require an informed citizenry and transparency of information. This can help to contain corruption and hold governments accountable to individual citizens also. Unlike the earlier

answerable and therefore accountable to common citizens also.
