Abstract

The present research paper attempts at the understanding of the system of coalition and an evaluation of its implications for society with an Indian experience. Coalition politics is based on a system of governance by a group of political parties or by several political parties. When several political parties collaborate to form a government and exercise the political power on the basis of a common agrees programme/agenda we can describe such a system as coalition politics or coalition government. Such a government is usually organized when no party is in a position to get a majority in the parliament and some parties form a coalition group or an alliance and thus form a government. A coalition government is a collaborative or cooperative effort in which several political parties or some political parties in association with some independent representatives form a government. The system of forming a collective government and running such a government is usually described as a coalition government or a system of coalition rule or more simply coalition government or a stem of coalition rule or more simple coalition politics. On the basis of facts and research we can say that the era of coalition politics in India has finally arrived.
