What to Focus On

  • Democracy in India began under difficult conditions.
  • Some post-colonial countries chose non-democratic rule in the name of unity.
  • Indian leaders treated politics as a solution, not a threat.
  • The Election Commission was created in January 1950.
  • Sukumar Sen was the first Chief Election Commissioner.
  • Electoral rolls had to be carefully prepared and revised.
  • The first election used box-voting with separate boxes for each candidate.
  • About 20 lakh steel boxes were used.
  • Later, stamped ballot papers replaced box-voting.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Congress dominance meant India was a one-party state like China or Cuba.

The first general election took place entirely in 1952.

The Congress won because it was more popular than all the other parties combined in vote share.
