Answer

Multi-party System: -
If several parties compete for power and more than two parties have a reasonable chance of coming to power either on their own strength or in alliance with others, we call it a Multi-party system.
India adopted a multi-party system because: -
  1. There is social and geographical diversity in India.
  2. India is such a large country which is not easily absorbed by two or three parties.
  3. The system allows a variety of interests and opinions to enjoy political representation.
