Question - 1
Direction (Q.No. 1-5) : Read the following passage and answer the questions which follow it.
Democracy can have many meanings. The meaning most often given to it in the West is that there should be a two-party system and that people should vote for one party or another. In fact, we had many parties, perhaps there was something wanting in our democracy and we should aim at a two party system because the two parties may not be able to contain all the opinions in a country at a time. Though I must admit that sometimes the multiplicity of parties which we have in India is not a very great help to the public. But it is a phase of development and I do not think it basically affects democracy. We have been able to have democracy and democracy has been strengthened because of this quality of tolerance which is an old quality in Indian philosophy and in our way of life.
