By: Beteille, Andre.
Material type:
ArticlePublisher: 2008Description: p.35-42.Subject(s): Constitutions
In:
Economic and Political WeeklySummary: The strength or weakness of constitutional morality in contemporary India has to be understood in the light of a cycle of escalating demands from the people and the callous response of successive governments to those demands. In a parliamentary democracy, the obligations of constitutional morality are expected to be equally binding on the government and the opposition. In India, the same political party treats these obligations very differently when it is in office and when it is out of it. This has contributed greatly to the popular perception of our political system as being a moral. - Reproduced.
