  Parliamentary system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A parliamentary system, also known as parliamentarianism (and parliamentarism in U.S. English), is distinguished by the executive branch of government being dependent on the direct or indirect support of the parliament, often expressed through a vote of confidence.
Parliamentary systems usually have a clear differentiation between the head of government and the head of state, with the head of government being the prime minister or premier, and the head of state often being an appointed figurehead with only minor or ceremonial powers.
In most parliamentary systems, the head of state is primarily a ceremonial position, often a monarch or president, retaining duties that aren't politically divisive, such as appointments of civil servants.

He argues that the fragmentation of parliamentary democracy in India into dozens of smaller, issue-based local parties and groups is a natural reflection of the diversity and heterogeneity of Indian society and does not ultimately undermine a concept of common Indian citizenship.
And I do think that if there are many ethnic, linguistic caste, regional and other types of social groups in the country, who were not effectively represented in the political system before, but have rectified the situation by organising their own political parties now, there's nothing absolutely wrong with it.
Of course, the building block of any Indian national identity that is viable in the longer term must be respect for people's other identities, their religion, their caste, their ethno-linguistic group, the region of the country they come from, and so on.
