Indian political environment: democracy and a citizen's right to influence government
Abstract
The paper focuses on the prevailing political environment in the country and the
influence it has on a citizen. It deals with issues related to the role of executive, judiciary
and legislature with regard to the functioning of democracy in the country. It examines
how power has become centralized over the decades, resulting in citizen alienation and
apathy. The paper suggests several recommendations for improvement of the general
political environment. It also proposes a role for the NGO’s to help increase citizens’
influence on the government and their participation in the democratic process. The
analysis of power distribution in the government has been made by treating
governmental set up as an organization.
