Book excerpt: This volume deliberates on various dimensions of the challenges confronting parliamentary democracy in India, and provides a platform for debates emanating from the depths of society, new critiques of the manner in which democracy has functioned, and the strengths and weaknesses of Indian democracy. It deals with the theory and practice of democratic governance, the role of the judiciary in strengthening the legislative and executive functions of the state, the role of the media as the fourth estate, the rise of social movements and civil society, the critical role of economic development in sustaining democracy, and the role of democracy in containing ethnic conflicts. It also includes two essays on democracy at the grassroots analysing electoral behaviour and the gender perspective, and presents alternatives that have been offered by civil society activists, academicians, and researchers, who together form an intellectual comity.

Download or read book To Kill A Democracy written by Debasish Roy Chowdhury and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is heralded as the world's largest democracy. Yet, there is now growing alarm about its democratic health. To Kill a Democracy gets to the heart of the matter. Combining poignant life stories with sharp scholarly insight, it rejects the belief that India was once a beacon of democracy but is now being ruined by the destructive forces of Modi-style populism. The book details the much deeper historical roots of the present-day assaults on civil liberties and democratic institutions. Democracy, the authors also argue, is much more than elections and the separation of powers. It is a whole way of life lived in dignity, and that is why they pay special attention to the decaying social foundations of Indian democracy. In compelling fashion, the book describes daily struggles for survival and explains how lived social injustices and unfreedoms rob Indian elections of their meaning, while at the same time feeding the decadence and iron-fisted rule of its governing institutions. Much more than a book about India, To Kill A Democracy argues that what is happening in the country is globally important, and not just because every third person living in a democracy is an Indian. It shows that when democracies rack and ruin their social foundations, they don't just kill off the spirit and substance of democracy. They lay the foundations for despotism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nation of 1.25 billion people composed of numerous ethnic, linguistic, religious, and caste communities, India is the world’s most diverse democracy. Drawing on his extensive fieldwork and experience of Indian politics, Sumantra Bose tells the story of democracy’s evolution in India since the 1950s—and describes the many challenges it faces in the early twenty-first century. Over the past two decades, India has changed from a country dominated by a single nationwide party into a robust multiparty and federal union, as regional parties and leaders have risen and flourished in many of India’s twenty-eight states. The regionalization of the nation’s political landscape has decentralized power, given communities a distinct voice, and deepened India’s democracy, Bose finds, but the new era has also brought fresh dilemmas. The dynamism of India’s democracy derives from the active participation of the people—the demos. But as Bose makes clear, its transformation into a polity of, by, and for the people depends on tackling great problems of poverty, inequality, and oppression. This tension helps explain why Maoist revolutionaries wage war on the republic, and why people in the Kashmir Valley feel they are not full citizens. As India dramatically emerges on the global stage, Transforming India: Challenges to the World’s Largest Democracy provides invaluable analysis of its complexity and distinctiveness.

Book excerpt: More than seventy years after its founding, with Narendra Modi's authoritarian Hindu nationalists in government, is the dream of Indian democracy still alive and well? India's pluralism has always posed a formidable challenge to its democracy, with many believing that a clash of identities based on region, language, caste, religion, ethnicity, and tribe would bring about its demise. With the meteoric rise to power of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the nation's solidity is once again called into question: is Modi's Hindu majoritarianism an anti-democratic attempt to transform India into a monolithic Hindu nation from which minorities and dissidents are forcibly excluded? With examinations of the way that class and caste power shaped the making of India's postcolonial democracy, the role of feminism, the media, and the public sphere in sustaining and challenging democracy, this book interrogates the contradictions at the heart of the Indian democratic project, examining its origins, trajectories, and contestations.

Book excerpt: This volume of original essays highlights an interesting phenomenon: a variety of social movements and new institutional experiments are now seeking to wrest the state s responsibility of securing development and alleviating poverty. The sphere of the market on the one hand, and the non-governmental sector on the other, are identified by the contributors as critical ingredients in the alternative conceptualizations of governance that have begun to inform the discourse on development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Nearly Six Decades Of Its Existence, There Is A Pervasive Feeling That India S Democracy Is In Crisis. But What Is The Nature Of This Threat? In This Essay Pratap Bhanu Mehta, Reminding Us What A Bold Experiment Bringing Democracy To A Largely Illiterate And Unpropertied India Was, Argues That The Sphere Of Politics Has Truly Created Opportunities For People To Participate In Society. But, Looking At Various Facets, He Also Finds That Persistent Social Inequality On The One Hand, And A Mistaken View Of The State S Proper Function And Organization On The Other, Have Modified And Hindered The Workings Of Democracy And Its Effects In Innumerable Ways. Positing The Quest For Self-Respect As Democracy S Deepest Aspiration, This Essay Explores How Inequality And The Crisis Of Accountability Have Together Impeded Collective Action To Achieve Such An End. To Recover This Sense Of Moral Well Being And Responsibility, Mehta Suggests, Is The Core Of The Democratic Challenge Before Us. Optimistic, Lively And Closely Argued, The Burden Of Democracy Offers A New Ideological Imagination That Throws Light On Our Discontents. By Returning To The Basics Of Democracy It Serves To Illuminate Our Predicament, Even While Perceiving The Broad Contours For Change. Interrogating India Is A Series That Looks Critically At The Common Sense Prevailing On Some Of The Most Pressing Issues Of Our Times. Provocative And Incisive, It Has Essays On Themes Ranging From Secularism, Political Representation And Nationalism, To Corruption, Terrorism And Language, Which Figure Prominently In Today S Middle-Class Discourse. Passionate, Accessible And Opinionated, These Reflections From Some Of India S Best Minds Should Help Us Make Better Sense Of The Public Debate On These Issues While Hopefully Provoking Us To Respond To The Challenges They Present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first thorough study of the co-existence of crime and democratic processes in Indian politics In India, the world's largest democracy, the symbiotic relationship between crime and politics raises complex questions. For instance, how can free and fair democratic processes exist alongside rampant criminality? Why do political parties recruit candidates with reputations for wrongdoing? Why are one-third of state and national legislators elected--and often re-elected--in spite of criminal charges pending against them? In this eye-opening study, political scientist Milan Vaishnav mines a rich array of sources, including fieldwork on political campaigns and interviews with candidates, party workers, and voters, large surveys, and an original database on politicians' backgrounds to offer the first comprehensive study of an issue that has implications for the study of democracy both within and beyond India's borders.
