摘要

本文研究了印度最大的议会民主制度的衰落,但自2014年以来,在总理纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)的领导下,印度人民党(BJP)在中心(正如联邦政府通常所知)加速衰落。设计/方法/方法这是折衷的。原始的宪法,连同评论,被研究。新闻媒体、政府声明、期刊文章和其他媒体——电子的和印刷的——也都有来源。研究结果表明,民主的三个重要特征——选举及其结果、信息控制和压制异议——是如何被广泛用来破坏宪政民主的。民主可以在不修改宪法的情况下被破坏。考虑到不民主的做法,这也解释了莫迪受欢迎的讽刺。由于他可能在未来一段时间内继续执政,并以压倒性优势赢得多数席位,目前需要的是一个团结、建设性和有效的反对派,以确保一个健康运转的民主。

Is constitutional democracy in India in crisis?
Purpose This paper examines the decline of the largest working parliamentary democracy in India overtime, but accelerating since 2014 as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Center (as the federal government is commonly known). Design/methodology/approach It is eclectic. Original constitution, along with commentaries, are studied. News outlets, government pronouncements, journal articles, and other media outlets — electronic and print — are also sourced. Findings The findings show how three important features in democracy — elections and their outcomes, control of information, and suppression of dissent are widely used to undermine constitutional democracy. Originality/value Democracy can be undermined without altering the Constitution itself. It also explains the irony of Modi’s popularity, given the undemocratic practices. As he may continue in office for some time to come, commanding a log-rolling majority, the need of the hour is a united, constructive and effective opposition to ensure a healthy working democracy.
