To Kill A Democracy

To Kill a Democracy offers a powerful critique of India’s democratic decline, tracing the erosion of civil liberties, social justice, and institutional integrity far beyond the rise of populist politics. Combining poignant personal stories with sharp scholarly analysis, the authors reveal how systemic social inequities and everyday struggles undermine the very meaning of elections and weaken the foundations of Indian democracy. A vital examination of the global stakes of democratic decay, this book shows how hollowing out social and civic structures can pave the way for despotism.
