A Think School political case study arguing that India's first-past-the-post voting system, not any single party, is the root cause of caste politics, the failure of new parties and neglected national issues.

The caption text covers the whole 21 minute video. The historical claims (including the origin of the system in 1885), vote shares, and the effects attributed to FPTP are the presenter's statements and opinions, not independently checked and debated by scholars.
