Article Abstract:
The Bharatiya Janata Party's victory in the national elections signifies a peculiar trend unique to India's political system. The party will lead a coalition government composed of 24 parties. While the usual trend in a democracy is to start out with a number of parties that eventually are reduced, the opposite has been true for India. Despite the proliferation of political parties, analysts are optimistic that it would bring answers to India's many problems.
