‘Democracy Misunderstood’ – This book is about India, about the most complicated democratic character of India. This book is both critical and reflective, and it gets to the heart of India's political character. It challenges the common ideas that come with calling a country the "world's largest democracy." The information here is not taken straight from a textbook about the law or election results. Instead, the story is made up of contradictions, there is both freedom and fear, institutions work and don't work perfectly, and the will of the people is both praised and pushed down. The book looks at how those who lead, those who follow, and those in between have understood and often misunderstood democracy in India. It does this by carefully blending historical background, political analysis, and social criticism.‘Democracy Misunderstood’ brings up important points and tried giving fair answers to the questions that are asked. Some of these problems are the rise of unending political debate, and the growing gap between government actions and everyday life.Anyone who wants to understand how India's democracy works on a deeper level should read this book. People are asked to think about, question, and maybe even rethink what democracy really means in India.
