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.

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.
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.

There were members of the British aristocracy (which landed interests and

strength and they were able to establish their separate rule at different
times.
