question_answer 4)

State two reasons to say that caste alone cannot determine election results in India.  

Answer:

(a) No party wins the votes of all the voters of a caste or community. When people say the caste is a 'vote bank' of one party, it usually, means that a large proportion of voters from that caste vote for that, party.   (b) No Parliamentary Constituency in the country has a clear majority of one single caste. So, every candidate and party needs to win the confidence of more than one caste and community to win elections.
