India Adopted FPTP system because: 1. FPTP is way simpler as compares to PR. 2. PR can work in a country with less population but India has a large population so FPTP is suitable for India. 3. In PR party has no single person to represent them, party is elected collectively on the basis of their work. 4. In FPTP a single person (eg. Modi ji is the face of BJP) represent the whole party and people give vote to that party on the basis of that one person.

India adopted FPTP system because -
1. The entire election system is simple to understand.
2. There is also a clear choice presented to the voters at the time of elections i.e. voters have to simply endorse a candidate or a party while voting .
3. The FPTP system offers voters a choice not simply between parties but specific candidates .
4. Makers of our constitution also felt that PR based elections may not be suitable for giving a stable govt.in a parliamentary system .
5. The FPTP system encourages voters from different social groups to come together to win an election in a locality . In a diverse country like India a PR system would encourage each community to form it's own nation-wide party. This is why FPTP system is best for India.
