Explanation

W.H. Morris-Jones used the term 'one-party dominance' to describe the political reality of India where the Congress Party held power at both the center and in most states. While Rajni Kothari developed the concept of 'The Congress System' to explain this dominance, Morris-Jones provided the initial classification of the party system. This dominance lasted until the late 1960s when coalition politics began to emerge.
