Description
To Kill a Democracy provides a comprehensive and urgent analysis of the threats facing India’s democratic framework. Through meticulous research and scholarly insight, authors Debasish Roy Chowdhury and John Keane examine how democratic institutions can be systematically undermined and eroded. The book traces the historical and contemporary patterns of democratic decline, exploring the political, social, and institutional vulnerabilities that allow authoritarian tendencies to flourish.
By analyzing India’s unique political landscape, the authors identify warning signs and mechanisms of democratic backsliding. They discuss the role of state power, media manipulation, judicial independence, and civil society in either protecting or weakening democratic foundations. This work serves as both a cautionary tale and a call to action for citizens, policymakers, and scholars concerned with preserving democratic values and institutions in the world’s largest democracy.
