Since the 1990s, coalition politics have become a norm in Indian governance. This has significantly impacted policymaking, often leading to a fragmented agenda as multiple political parties, each with differing priorities, need to be appeased. However, it has also fostered a culture of negotiation and compromise, which can be seen in the formulation of policies that cater to a wider section of the population. Examples include the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and the Right to Information (RTI) Act, both of which were passed with broad political support. These policies reflect the complex interplay of various political forces in India's vibrant democracy.

I believe that while coalition politics makes decision-making complex, it is still a sign of a healthy, functioning democracy.
