The lack of homogeneity in the Indian population causes division between different sections of the people based on religion, region, language, caste and race

. This has led to the rise of political parties with agendas catering to one or a mix of these groups, it also cause for the coalition era and hung parliament in Indian politics. The narrow focus and vote-bank politics of most parties, even in the central government and central legislature, sidelines national issues such as economic welfare and national security. Moreover, internal security is also threatened as incidences of political parties instigating and leading violence between two opposing groups of people is a frequent occurrence.At present almost all political parties are indulged in vote bank politics. In fact voters are themselves divided and they are not at all concerned with national issues .voters are confine to their local issues , their caste and communities and hence regional parties use their weak point and create vote bank . National problem of inflation or unemployment or illiteracy is not of so much concern for Indian voters. India will rise with equity and uniformity only when national issues become agenda of mass voters and politicians discard their greed. It looks obvious on the part of voters that they give more preference to their regional issues but they must think about the national issues also and should vote for those parties who can think about the regional and national issues bath. Otherwise it hampers the national development.
