Answer 1

Explanation:

Here is your answer

India is often credited for its success as the world’s largest democracy – but does the degree of democracy vary across Indian states? This article develops an index to map the development of subnational democracy across states over time. Drawing on newly assembled data for 1985-2013, it demonstrates that threats to subnational democracy come from multiple directions, including the central government and non-State armed actors.

India has sustained a national system of democratic governance in a country marked by substantial variation in geographic, economic, and demographic circumstances. This combination sparks the question whether democracy at the national level automatically translates into subnational democracy. Does democracy ‘trickle-down’, with states essentially mirroring national democracy? Or do we see diversity across states, with some states being distinctly more democratic than others?

A growing body of scholarship focusing primarily on large federal democracies in the Americas has demonstrated that undemocratic or even authoritarian subnational regimes often persist after national-level democratisation (for example, Gibson 2013, Giraudy 2015). In a recent paper (Harbers et al. 2019), we extend this type of analysis to India. Our findings reveal a complex panorama of subnational variation, with democracy thriving in some states even as it is under threat in others.
