Challenges to free and fair elections in India are as follows:
(i) Candidates and parties with a lot of money may not be sure of their victory but they do enjoy a big and unfair advantage over smaller parties and independents.
(ii) In some parts of the country, candidates with criminal connection have been able to secure a 'ticket' from major parties.
(iii) Some families tend to dominate the political parties; tickets are distributed to relatives from these families.
(iv) Very often, elections offer little choice to ordinary citizens as both the major parties are similar to each other in their policies and practices.
(v) Smaller parties and independent candidates suffer a huge disadvantage as compared to the bigger parties.
The native people from the Americas went into a steep decline after they were colonized by Spaniards for several reasons. The first reason was the grave diminish of the native population in the Americas due to the viruses and diseases brought to America from Europe, like smallpox, that caused a severe demographic catastrophe. The second reason was the political dominion established under the Spanish colonial system in the Americas, that not only persecuted and enslaved indigenous populations but also systematically killed thousands of them in a practice that many Historians consider a genocide. Moreover, the Spanish colony also eradicated all forms of native cultures, languages, religions, and political systems and supplanted them by Christianity, Spanish language and culture, and colonial rule.
The steep decline of native populations could have been prevented if the encounter between Spaniards and native American would have been less invasive and if the European settlements in the Americas would have been established in a more gradual way. However, it is important to remember that it was a clash between different world views and, many times in History, when this happens often the victorious are those cultures that present more advanced technological and military features.
