R e
ad the following passage and answer the questions 11 to 15 :
While the British rule in India was detrimental to the economic development o
f t
he country, it did help in starting of the process of modernizing Indian societ
y a
nd 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, democrac
y w
as 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 electe
d m
embers, formed the Government while the others constituted a standin
g o
pposition. 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.
N o
rmally, members of any organizations have differences of opinion betwee
n t
hemselves 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 i
n m
ajority and are placed in power, while treating the others as in opposition. 
The members of an organization usually work on consensus. Consensus simpl
y m
eans that after an adequate discussion, members agree that the majorit
y o
pinion may prevail for the time being. Thus persons who form a majority o
n o
ne 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 part
y s
ystem came to prevail in Britain and that is now being generally taken as the
b e
st method of democratic rule. 
Many democratically inclined persons in India regret that such a two part
y s
ystem 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
