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

A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors

The two reasons that say that caste alone cannot determine election results in India are as follows:

  1. In India, no parliamentary constituency 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.
  2. No party wins the votes of all the voters of caste or community. When people say that caste is a ‘vote bank’ of one party, it usually means that a large proportion of the voters from that caste vote for that party.
