The agreement on the New Economic Policies of India introduced in the beginning of the 1990s is an example of Politics of Consensus.

The Rise of OBCs after the implementation of the recommendations of the Mandal Commission gave rise to Caste-based Politics in India.

Personal law and gender justice were important aspects of the Shah Bano Case.

The Shah Bano Case- In this case, a 62-year-old divorced Muslim woman filed a maintenance claim against her former husband. The Supreme Court ruled in her favor. This judgment was perceived as an intrusion into Muslim Personal Law by orthodox Muslims. Following the demand of certain Muslim leaders, the government introduced the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, which effectively nullified the Supreme Court's verdict.
Coalition governments- Following the elections of 1989, a notable shift towards coalition politics became prominent in India's political landscape. Since that juncture, the country has seen eleven different governments at the national level. These administrations have predominantly taken the form of either coalition governments or minority governments that receive support from other parties, without formally joining the government. This marked a new phase in Indian politics, where the formation of any government hinged on the participation or backing of various regional parties.
