India is rapidly becoming the world’ s largest flailing democracy. India’ s institutional framework has been systematically undermined, from within and without. In the tenth volume of the Rethinking India series, some of India’ s most eminent persons write of how we can think of re-engineering India’ s hardware (redressing structural flaws in India’ s existing institutions, creating new institutions equipped to address fresh challenges and re-engaging all of India’ s systems), as well as ensuring progressive forces radically re-invent their political strategies and operational methodologies to socialize Indians to constitutional values.
