For most of its independent history, India has been ruled by the Indian National Congress at the federal level, although state politics have been dominated by regional parties.
The party enjoyed a parliamentary majority barring two brief periods during the 1970s and late 1980s.
This rule was interrupted between 1977 to 1980, when the Janata Party coalition won the election owing to public discontent with the "Emergency" declared by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
The Janata Dal won elections in 1989, but its government managed to hold on to power for only two years. Between 1996 and 1998, there was a period of political flux with the government being formed first by the right-wing nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party followed by a left-leaning United Front coalition.
In 1998, the BJP formed the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) with smaller regional parties, and became the first non-Congress and coalition government to complete a full five-year term.
The 2004 Indian elections saw the Congress party winning the largest number of seats to form a government leading the United Progressive Alliance, supported by left-leaning and other parties opposed to the BJP.
There are Six parties tht are recognised as national parties.namely
1.Bahujan Samaj Party[1] BSP 1984 Mayawati
2.Bharatiya Janata Party BJP 1980 Rajnath Singh
3.Communist Party of India CPI 1925[2] A.B. Bardhan
4.Communist Party of India (Marxist) CPI (M) 1964 Prakash Karat
5.Indian National Congress INC 1885 Sonia Gandhi

Oh how ironic.. you say don't mix religion and politics and in the very question you use a phrase derogatory to Hindus- what do you mean pulling cow tale? you dog... This is exactly the kind of politics Congress plays.. You say respect all religions then say something derogatory against one religion You say lets not mix religion and politics and then support Haj subsides. What kind of a fool does anybody have to be to buy this nonsense. They say they treat all religions equally. But muslims exclusively get subsides. But INDIANS of other religions who cannot afford to make religious trips are given NO financial help whatsoever. Don't you see religion politics here? Is this equal treatment? Such a brouhaha is made of babri masjid demolition but do we here them mention even once about the plight of kashmiri pundits and the fact that so many temples were razed between 86-89 by muslims in kashmir. I am aggainst the wreckage of any place of worship be it a temple or masjid. But not the congress. For them the plight of one community just doesn't matter. This is religion politics which any patriot should be aginst. But some idiotic people turn a blind eye to the problems of certain people and also, the media does such a great job of sweeping the dirt of muslim extremists under the carpet..

First of all One thing keep in Mind and that is India is a Democratic country where people elect their leader who will look after their basic needs. India follows the multi Cameral type of Ruling Strategy. India Ruled by the President of India, Parliament of India and the Prime Minister.this is the Basic Governance that India Follows.
