Power sharing is a technique used in India to distribute power across different levels and groups to prevent concentration of power. It takes various forms, including horizontal power sharing between the legislature, executive, and judiciary branches of government. Vertically, power is shared between federal, state, and local levels of government. Power is also shared among different social communities through representation and reservation. Coalition governments represent another form of power sharing, with ruling and opposition political parties each wielding influence.

Different social groups, such as the religious and linguistic groups may
also share power.
In a diverse country; like India; there are various social, linguistic and
caste groups and power is shared among each group.
This type of arrangement is meant to give space in the government and
administration to diverse social groups who otherwise would feel
alienated from the government.
For example: People from the minority communities, OBCs, and SC &
ST are given reservation so that there could be adequate
representation for them in the government machinery.

11. Coalition Government.
• Power sharing among various political parties is more apparent for
most of the people. Usually the largest political party or the largest
political coalition becomes the ruling party. The other parties form
the opposition.
• While opposition is not in power, it is responsible for seeing to it that
the ruling party functions as per the wishes of the people.
• Pressure groups also get their share in power. For example; the trade
unions, ASSOCHAM, students’ union, etc. get some power by certain
mechanisms.
• Representatives of these associations become part of many decision
making bodies and thus enjoy their share of power.
