Summary/Abstract

India's parliament is failing as a platform for representing and aggregating citizens' preferences to form public policy. Policies increasingly pass without discussion and disruption seems to be replacing debate. While most of the public and academic critique of the Parliament focuses on the members and discusses reforms to the electoral system or membership criteria, this paper steps back to consider how well the institution is equipped to represent the population in policy deliberations. India's parliamentary procedures stand out among parliaments around the world in the limitations they place on most members' ability to represent their constituents in the normal course of debate or policymaking. This article argue that these features may contribute to the observed disruption, lack of debate, and decline in standing. The conclusion suggests some institutional reforms.
