| Summary/Abstract |
The idea of democracy is built on the premise that all citizens of the state are equal and the nation offers equal opportunity to all members of the society to participate in the process of self-governance. Democracy, as considered by most to be the best way to govern a nation, succeeds only when all the citizens of society take part in the process in equal measure.

| Summary/Abstract |
Commissions of inquiry are unique tools of modern governance that represent ‘the people’, but in a manner quite unlike parliaments and other forms of elected political representation. Using as its example the 2007 Misra Report, this paper reveals how, in the production of a commission report, scores of non-state actors—‘stakeholders’ from a wide range of social strata—are enlisted to produce the policies that will then redound upon those very stakeholders. In thus consulting the people and eliciting their speech, commissions serve to publicly enact, in a controlled setting, the deliberative ideal of democracy that is otherwise absent in India. In this particular instance, the problematic status of Dalits is subsumed under the normative religious identity of the post-colonial Indian nation, a conclusion whose emergence through reasoned debate is publicly enacted in the form of the commission.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article essays an interpretation of representative claims articulated in the campaign for the Lok Sabha election of 2014, arguing that this election signals a shift from one dominant type of representative claim to another. The first two claims—the classical liberal view of political representation as an aggregation of preferences and descriptive representation—are embodied by the Congress Party and the social justice parties respectively. These claims are located within the universe of representative democracy, and are sought to be transcended by two new representative claims, encountered in the 2014 election. These are counter-democratic populism and realist Caesarism, signified by the Aam Aadmi Party and the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party, respectively. While these two do not dispense with representative democracy, their claim to provide a more effective or stronger form of democracy indicates a significant departure that redefines the relationship between representation and democracy.

| Summary/Abstract |
The demand for regional autonomy has been a much debated issue in the Indian democracy for a long period of time. The question of to what extent regional units should be given freedom was discussed at length during Constituent Assembly debates as well .Article 1 of the Indian constitution declares "India that is Bharat shall be union of states". Indian union was established by incorporating basic features of both unitary and federal form of governments and thus, creating a federal form of government during peace time and converting it in to unitary one at the time of crisis. The success of Indian democracy has been a matter of great debate around the world and also a matter of great curiosity.

| Summary/Abstract |
Why do poor people often vote against their material interests? This article extends the study of this global paradox to the non-Western world by considering how it manifests within India, the world's biggest democracy. Arguments derived from studies of advanced democracies (such as values voting) or of poor polities (such as patronage and ethnic appeals) fail to explain this important phenomenon. Instead, I outline a novel strategy predicated on an electoral division of labor enabling elite parties to recruit the poor while retaining the rich. Recruitment is outsourced to nonparty affiliates that provide basic services to appeal to poor communities. Such outsourcing permits the party to maintain programmatic linkages to its elite core. Empirically, I test this argument with qualitative and quantitative evidence, including a survey of more than 9,000 voters. Theoretically, I argue that this approach is best suited to elite parties with thick organizations, typically those linked to religious social movements

| Summary/Abstract |
The primary question addressed by this essay is: How are religion and religious propaganda in election campaigns in India regulated? I study this question by looking at the rulings of the Supreme Court, which is the final arbiter in all matters related to electoral disputes. The relevant portion of the Representation of the People Act (RPA)-the legislation governing the conduct of Indian elections passed in 1951-that relates to regulating religion are various provisions of Section 123.1 Section 123(3) deems as 'corrupt practice' election candidates or their agents appealing for votes on the grounds of religion or religious symbols; Section 123(2)(a)(ii) defines as corrupt practice attempts to induce a candidate or voter to believe that he would become an object of 'divine displeasure or spiritual censure'; and Section 123(3A) considers as corrupt practice attempts to promote enmity on grounds of religion, race, community or language. More recently, Section 123(3B) does the same for candidates propagating the practice of sati or glorifying it. In addition, Section 125 of the RPA makes attempts to promote enmity or hatred on the 'grounds of religion, race, caste, community or language' a punishable offence.

| Summary/Abstract |
The 'Dalit question',1 that is, the removal of discrimination, socio-economic improvement and share in political power for the lower castes, has always been at the centre of Indian politics. But recently we have witnessed the rise of Dalit parties/movements such as the Republican Party of India, the Dalit Panthers and smaller formations in different parts of the country. This Dalit assertion, first witnessed in the North Indian plains in the 1980s, has been one of the major challenges to Indian democracy in recent years. It has a qualitatively new character and distinct features which have significant implications for both democracy and development.
