While there is overwhelming support for democracy in India and
voter turnout is higher than in many Western democracies, there are
low levels of trust in political parties and elected
representatives. This book is an attempt to look beyond Indian
elections, which has increasingly occupied analysts and
commentators. It focuses on the Lok Sabha (The House of the
People), comprising 543 members directly elected for five years by
a potential 800 million plus voters in 2019. The book seeks to
answer two questions: Is the Indian Parliament, which has the
unenviable task of representing a diverse nation of a billion-plus
people, working, if not in an exemplary manner, at least reasonably
well, to articulate the diverse demands of the electorate and
translate them into legislation and policy? To what extent has the
practice of Indian democracy transformed the institution of
parliament, which was adopted from the British, and its
functioning?
