Class X - Political Parties (Civics)

In this PPT, we have glanced at political parties as vehicles of federal sharing of political power and as negotiator of social divisions in the arena of democratic politics. We begin by asking two common questions : why do we need parties ? How many parties are good for a democracy ? In the light of these we introduce the national and regional political parties in today's India and then look at what is wrong with political parties and what can be done about it.
