520 _aDespite the dominance and centrality of a liberal-constitutional framework to understand democracy in India, it is not enough to decipher its populist renditions. The myriad ways in which the “popular” is represented today in the Indian democratic context call for a thicker analysis, excavating India’s many political pasts and their corresponding idioms of power. The anthropological turn in the study of Indian politics offers a way forward to decipher the lineages of popular sovereignty and its practices in India, which is not limited by the presumptions of a Eurocentric normative framing of democracy.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/31/commentary/royal-republic.html
