Deliberative democracy can be seen as a part of the agenda of
deepening democracy, wherein the public deliberation of citizens
forms the basis of legitimate decision-making, with the people
participating directly in the deliberations or making of decisions
that affect them. Although political theorists have long contended
that democracy should not be based merely on voting but also on
informed public debate and despite diverse attempts at deliberative
democracy having been made in various parts of the world, it is
only during the recent decades that such initiatives have gained
momentum. In terms of procedural democracy and the working of
democratic institutions, India's record is considered to be
noteworthy. However, questions relating to deliberative democracy
have come to the fore, particularly in the recent years, with
questions of inclusion and equality posing major challenges. The
essays in this volume address various dimensions of the issue,
ranging from a theoretical conceptualization of deliberative
democracy to its role in constitution-making, Gandhian
contributions to deliberative democracy, civil society
interventions and the role of the media in deliberative processes
in India, the participation of new social movements, Dalit and
ecological movements, as well as the intricacies of deliberation
and decentralization, and issues of development, marginalization
and mobilization. The volume facilitates an understanding of the
broad contours and evolving nature of democracy in India and how
the Indian experience can inform larger debates on deliberative
democracy. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or
