Indian politics has developed ideological divides and deep emotions that endanger national unity over time. The research examines intellectual political conceptions and emotive heated political conflicts that exhibit emotional disagreement between political factions to assess polarization. History, religious politics, identity politics, media, and economic status cause Indian division. Misinformation and misleading narratives travel more easily on social media, which divides. Political polarization destabilizes nations, democratic systems, and policymaking while promoting extremism. Polarization weakens governance, causing citizens to lose trust in institutions and national cohesion to collapse. The study suggests media literacy education and institution consolidation to address these issues. It also promotes political discourse and civic education nationwide. Political division must be overcome to preserve Indian democracy, governance, and societal unity. When India embraces inclusive policies and positive debates that unite society, its political environment would improve.
