Description :
India is the largest democracy in the world. In the last 7 decades it has worked successfully well to some extent. But in modern India it has to face many challenges that need to be tackled in order to ensure true democracy. Important issues like horse-trading in politics, the anti-defection law, pros and cons of post-poll alliances and discretionary powers of the governor has brought to light the various challenges facing Indian democracy. The main focus of this article is not to discuss about the nature or characteristics of Indian democracy or not to try redefining Indian democracy. In this paper, I would like to discuss mainly the problems and challenges with some examples that Indian democracy is facing.
