| Summary, etc |
India has for large stretches during its post independence era seem prolonged periods where a single party has managed to be politically strong enough to largely sideline the opposing parties. It primarily began with the congress of Nehru- Gandhi era where the opposition forces were largely subjugated, even at the state level. Although being a multi- party democracy the ruling party largely had a tenure of minimal opposition. In the present era, BJP under the leadership of Narendra Modi has a similar attitude whereby it aims to govern over India as a country and also its all constituent states. A vibrant democracy can never work without a vibrant opposition. if any governing party aims to totally delineate the opposing forces, it has the chances to turn itself into autocracy. I would in my study try to reflect upon the present trend of the ruling disposition to have an opposition free political space. This may subsequently have a dangerous outcome whereby Indian democratic system may ultimately turn into autocracy. In this era it is of paramount importance that all the well meaning forces for democracy unite together so that the space for opposing voices is secured. - Reproduced |
