This book provides a vantage point of comparison, of the actual
reality of decentralisation in India with Gandhi's vision of
decentralised democracy, or what he referred to as Gram Swaraj. It
looks at the historical evolution of panchayats from ancient times
to India's independence, and critically discusses the developments
after. It examines the functioning of the present Panchayati Raj
Institutions (PRIs) and the performances of urban local bodies. The
basic thrust of this work is the need for constitutional reforms
meant to strengthen and deepen democracy. The book will be useful
to those in political studies, policy studies, public
administration and development studies.
