when 'parties' have no principle beyond getting power for politicians, they get in bed with any who help get that power. no mystery there.
and no hope. india was as poor as china in early 1900's, and as powerless. look at them now!
china was as diverse as india, india had the brits, china had the japanese.
so why has china prospered, and india, well, not so much.
for a guess, the japanese concentrated the minds of china, and marx gave a national framework, while india still sanctifies cows. certainly the squabbling of indian politicians offers no clear path toward modern society for all the nation.
