India's democracy is failing. And this failure, argue Debasish Roy Chowdhury and John Keane, is not a recent development, and not just linked to Modi's rise to power. With a unique narrative combining moving life stories and scholarly insight, they offer a radical re-appraisal of Indian politics and society. They discuss India's passage to despotism not just in terms of shrinking civil rights and captured and broken governing institutions, but also from the perspective of welfare provisions and economic and social well-being. Throughout, Roy Chowdhury and Keane show how these social and political dysfunctions have intersected to reduce India to a phantom democracy. Book jacket.
