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.
