Abstract

Political parties are the most significant mechanism in a democratic government, even though they function informally. They are crucial for a political system because at times, they act as the chief force for modernisation, and the chief agency for political education and socialisation. The diversity and social fragmentation of Indian society have produced a proliferation of regional and other political parties. India’s leading political party, the Indian National Congress (INC), is one of the oldest in the world. This paper tries to look at the nature of Indian party system with the special emphasis on the working of ‘congress system’.
