India has had the experience of coalition governments in the States as well as at the Centre in recent times. As we analyse the coalitions in India we have to keep in mind the background of various experiments of coalitions in different parts of the world. In some States, the political picture in the parliamentary form of government was so unbalanced that the opposition parties were pushed almost to the fringe. This was the hangover of the political climate that emerged from the freedom struggtle in which the Congress had occupied a pivotal position and had retained its broad political appeal. There was however a gradual shift from the pattern of one dominant party rule. It is hoped that this book will be found useful by the students, teachers as well as general readers.
