Dubhashi, P.R

Reconstitution of Indian polity

The paper mainly deals with the reform in the electoral system and the functioning of Parliament. The three great challenges to India's parliamentary democracy are money power, muscle power, and caste and communal prejudicies. Lack of two party system leads to minority governments which are much more vulnerable to no confidence motions. Author suggests attaching greater significance to the working of the Parliamentary Committees and setting up a new Constituent Assembly consisting of both the elected representative of the people and experts and thinkers who should introduce some necessary amendments and modification of all aspects including those which are called basic structure of the constitution.
