Q.From many amendments made during 2000-2003, which conclusions would you draw (5 options re: judiciary non-interference, single-party majority, public pressure, party differences, non-controversial nature).

The 2000-2003 wave of ten amendments occurred despite coalition politics and sharp party rivalry, which suggests the amendments reflected genuine cross-party pressure and agreement rather than one party's strength. …

The chapter describes 2001-2003 as "a period marked by coalition politics... different parties were in power in different States. The bitter rivalry between the BJP and its opponents is another feature of this period." Despite this, ten amendments were still passed in just three years — matching the pace of the 1974-76 period, when Congress held a huge parliamentary majority. The chapter's own conclusion from this comparison is explicit: "the incidence of amendments is not dependent merely on the nature of majority of the ruling party alone."

1. Not supported. The chapter does not discuss judicial interference (or its absence) specifically for the 2000-2003 amendments, so this cannot be drawn as a conclusion from the information given.
2. Contradicted. The chapter explicitly describes this as a period of coalition politics with no single dominant majority — the opposite of what this option claims.
3. Reasonable. Since ten amendments passed despite coalition politics and open party rivalry, it is a fair conclusion that there was real underlying pressure — from the public or from genuine need — favouring these particular amendments, strong enough to cut across the political divisions of the time. …
